I've been thinking about the whole Galactica retheme for a while now, but I honestly just can't see it happening for one main reason... Nemesis opened up in 1994, and last operated in 2022 (28 years of operation). Air/Galactica opened up in 2002. If it were to have a similar lifespan, this...

It's looking really good so far! Think those screen effects will look great in the station too :D One question though...will this be the next B&M coaster to suffer from the rattle? 👀

It seems construction has begun on the new flat ride within Forbidden Valley. Quite surprised they've started this already but it's good to see things moving quickly. The only concern I have is that the revamped Forbidden Valley / Nemesis Reborn area is probably going to be quite an eyesore...

There's only one element that I hope it takes faster now and that's the outerbank-roll element. As others have mentioned, it's only the first test run so of course it's going to be slow in certain areas, but that huge outerbank is the one moment I'm hoping we really get thrown out of our seats...

They've started testing the lift hill in the past hour too so who knows. If it's not today I'm going to bet it's 100% testing tomorrow 🙏

It MIGHT test around 4pm today as the wind is due to calm down by then. But realistically, the earliest we'll see full test runs is tomorrow. Edit - Have seen via DigitalDans social's that the water dummies have been filled today and there's lots of crew hanging around the site currently, it's...

Thorpe have confirmed on FB today that it won't be doing any full test runs today, but it's looking likely for tomorrow however 🤞 Credit to Coastertog on Instagram.

Not sure how many others do, but Grand National at BPB comes to mind.

It's a shame to hear about the waterfalls not being part of the plans, it seems like they're definitely a thing of the past now. Also, has the track definitely been reprofiled before that last inversion? On my rides and looking at pictures/videos, I personally can't seem to see any differences...

It's great to see the park adding more theming to already world-class themed areas! I'm going in early June so hoping it's all complete around then (would be great as it's my partners first time visit too) 🤞

https://www.ksta.de/region/rhein-erft/bruehl/phantasialand-mitarbeiter-toedlich-verunglueckt-5-764829 This is the latest from it. Looks to have been caused from a head injury from one of the trains, no idea how this has occured. Hope everyone involved and the family are okay, really doesn't...

I do wonder if those animatronics will only be an effect that is used on busier days and weekends? It's a shame if so, as those that aim to go on off-peak days won't get the same experience.

That was an absolutely incredible opening day! Managed to get on the 2nd public train, right on the front row and what a buzz it was 😍. Everyone chanting Nemesis, clapping, cheering....ahh it was just perfect! I must agree that operations were pretty decent too, especially for an opening day...

First snippets of on-ride footage here: Edit: The water definitely isn't red 😮‍💨

It seems Nemesis Reborn has had its first riders! https://x.com/LoisSwinnerton/status/1768260176602190062?s=20 Loving the look of the trains....and also trying my best to see what details I can find in the station 👀 😂

C'mon Nicky, don't be getting my hopes up like that! :eek:😂 I must admit, I did think it could be the red water too. However, where the red lights are shining, that seems to be the only part the of water that appears red. The new map on the Alton Towers app shows that the water is just a...

I'll be more than happy if it's just the normal waterfalls that have returned honestly, they added so much to that area. You'd think with all the money spent on bringing Nemesis back to life and revamping the whole area, they'd have at least spent a portion of that on the waterfalls 🙏

I do agree that the E-Scan system is a bit pointless and frustrating, especially when other parks don't do it. I visited on Sunday and actually had a really good day (despite the dull weather). Operations were fast on most coasters even though the majority were 1 train operations. The Big One...

Not sure if trains are on-site at all yet, but with the likelihood this will be topped off before this weekend, could it be possible to say we may begin to see testing in the next week or two?
