Yep, that was something I'd spotted after the conversation here, it does look like the whole video may have had a reddish Lut applied.
But I still want to believe...
. It will be a f**k yeah moment if I see 'blood' flowing for myself.

This might sound dumb since it's a brand spanking new ride, but man that thing looks smooth.

I also thought that the lift is faster now from other testing videos I've seen. Also, the lift is now programmed to slow down mid-way up if the train ahead is still in the circuit to allow for faster dispatches supposedly.is 0:23 sped up or is the lift hill now on crack?

The magnetic brakes been causing dispatch interval issues when trains are empty

Doesn't look like the waterfalls have been working or are going too, such a shame the photos of the train coming down the first drop with them on were fantastic then again the main queue doesn't go down there anymore so

No it's not looking good :/ There's a glimmer of hope in this picture from yesterday's POVs, but it's probably just rain to be honest.

It just seems like such a missed opportunity…
(warning I think I’ve ranted about this before.) For me at least, as a kid, with no idea what coasters were what, the ‘rivers of blood’ were what sold the ride to me, and made me beg the parents to let us visit late in 1994 instead of going to American Adventure up the road all the time. I would be at school raving about the missile (don’t laugh) and remember my friends saying I had to ride Nemesis at Towers, as it ‘had rivers of blood and everything!’ It was a massive part of the ride back then, and it’ll be such a shame if it’s not bought back.
For me it’s not even the waterfalls that are the most important part, (although I love them and they look amazing.) If they can’t do the coloured waterfalls due to environmental reasons, I would be happy still if they just died the water under the ride red. But sadly it looks like no effort has been made with what is, for me at least, the single most important theming / landscaping piece after the station / monster itself.
such a shame.

https://coaster-count.com/catalogue/europe/uk/alton-towers-268/coasters Not sure if people have noticed, but Coaster-Count is listing Nemesis Reborn as a separate cred. I'm not sure how I feel about that to be honest.

Ah, this will open the can of worms!
I won't count it as a new cred unless the ride feels significantly different to the original.

All that was required was a new sett of pumps, in the grand scale of things its almost criminal this wasn't doneIt just seems like such a missed opportunity…

I think it will be similar to Hulk where there is no extra cred, and it automatically ticks if you rode the original, marking it as ridden in another location.
Plus, RCDB only shows the one ride, so no extra cred for me.
