Today marks the day before the grand opening of Nemesis Reborn at Alton Towers Resort after an 18-month refurbishment and the Nemesis Reborn TV advert dropped and blew us all away!
The brand new trailer sees night watchman Percy investigate Forbidden Valley after hearing a disturbance, airpods on listening to his tunes he discovers he’s not alone down there.
Nemesis is waiting for him and a piece of CGI animation that would have most Marvel movies of late quaking in their boots the creature is revealed and Percy is picked up off the floor as his flashlight drops to the ground.
Phenomenal marketing has been featured from start to finish of this Nemesis project, from the track replacements being escorted to the park by military lorries and helicopters to the teasers that have come out since, the park has absolutely smashed it with this one.
Nemesis Reborn is back and some lucky individuals got to ride it on March 14th with ITV and The Sun being the first two media outlets to ride the beast.
The opening of the ride to the public begins Saturday March 16th as Nemesis will roar into life with its first public passengers.
Its 250-tonne, 716-metre-long track has been replaced with mysterious red veins now snaking along its every inch.
The most dramatic overhaul comes in the completely new look for the creature that gives the ride its name.
Now a predator, seeking vengeance on the shadowy Phalanx organisation that kept it prisoner, the new look and feel culminates in the fearsome interactive eye, which guests will be able to see in all its glory from March 16th.
State-of-the-art audio-visual technology brings it vividly to life, while extensive new theming plunges visitors into a new immersive experience from the moment they set foot in Forbidden Valley.
Four full inversions, hair-raising corkscrews and nerve-shredding drops also face anyone brave enough to experience the ride.
On its opening in 1994 Nemesis was crowned Europe’s first inverted rollercoaster and went on to develop a devoted global fanbase.
During its original incarnation, it travelled over 800,000 miles, carrying more than 52 million people.
John Burton, Senior Creative Lead, Merlin Magic Making said:
For three decades the original Nemesis rollercoaster provided an unrivalled experience for countless millions of thrill-seekers – making it one of the most cherished attractions in the UK.
So when it came to bringing it to life for the 21st century, the stakes couldn’t have been higher.
That’s why we pulled out all the stops to create Nemesis Reborn
Everyone involved in this incredible project has poured their heart and soul into it to ensure we create a rollercoaster experience that is truly unrivalled and will set the standard for the next 30 years.
The creature looks phenomenal, oozing a Stranger Things 80s monster movie vibe with a trailer crafted and shot to cinematic perfection, hats off to whoever filmed it!
