It wasn’t a gun, it was a drill. Fitted perfectly in with the story that AT were digging when they discovered the creature. That was the drill that first came in contact with Nemesis, hence it being covered in tentacles.

Good point, I knew this once upon a time (very obvious drill head) and still always called it 'the gun.' But then so did the towers TLC twitter page too.
My point though, was that the tentacles look like they're a part of the object rather than looking like the object is covered in them. Having had another look, I can see that my interpretation of that may have always been wrong, and they could in fact be covering / consuming the gun / drill.

Speaking of tentacles
Watch – Nemesis Reborn is prepared ahead of its reopening at Alton Towers
The Alton Towers team behind the monster operation to bring back its most iconic coaster are suspended 40 feet in the air as the finishing touches are made to Nemesis Reborn ahead of its hugely anticipated opening on March 16.
Over 100 meters of tentacles have been made...
I wonder if a lot of these are going to be within the station.

They look bloody stunning too...
If you look at the picture posted earlier, it seems these tentacles are 'on the rocks' (haha) as well as lamp posts etc... Brilliant bit of theming!!! And exactly why we need to wait to see the whole package, as the details will make or break. (Though it's definitely looking more like they make.)

I really don't like the let's plonk an old helicopter down here for theming. So unoriginal and boring imo.
The drill was an original unique piece of theming not seen anywhere else. The fact some people thought it was a gun, a drill whatever it was at least it was intriguing and made you look at it.
However am loving the Nemesis tentacles popping up everywhere they should look great.

That's a really cool concept. When it goes though the helix just before zero g roll backwards it sort of reminded me of the death roll thing (not Gwazi's) that crocodiles do to kill their prey.Looks like your being dragged around by the monsters tentacle

Was just watching this backwards POV of Nemesis and thought damn this would actually make a really cool backwards seat ride. Looks like your being dragged around by the monsters tentacle
The red waterfalls
Would be such an amazing surprise if the waterfalls make a return this weekend and have been secretly repaired, even without the colouring.

There is water under the first drop and before the stall turn where the waterfalls used to be according to the app map

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

Not to rain on your parade, Nicky, but what makes you think it’s blood (red dyed water) rather than just water that’s showing the reflection of the red lighting?There's blood under the loop in that video... THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!

To me, it just looks like regular water like there was below it before.

Because it doesn't like like red light shining off water, it looks like there is depth in the colour. Particularly in the video, if you watch the clip a couple of times. The picture could be either in fairness, but the video shows it better.

C'mon Nicky, don't be getting my hopes up like that!
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 regular colour too (although it would be great if they changed the colour to red on opening day as a last minute surprise)

Yeah, looking at the picture the water actually looks dyed to me. It doesn’t look like the lighting.

Really, I see it all as red... The darker red bits are what I meant by 'depth' looks like deeper bits of water to me, making the red look darker...C'mon Nicky, don't be getting my hopes up like that!

Maybe it is just wishful thinking though, we'll have to wait and see.

It seems Nemesis Reborn has had its first riders!
Loving the look of the trains....and also trying my best to see what details I can find in the station
