Nemesis vs Nemesis Reborn: Before & After - Alton Towers Resort

[@AttractionSource]

So which look do you prefer? Nemesis or Nemesis Reborn?

[@VelocicoasterFanboy]

Nemesis Reborn

[@ThemeParkAventura45]

Nemesis

[@tvhotties7836]

Nemesis, I only. Use to ride front row so prefer it. And I think it was more fun when is was ruffer

[@MalrusOSC]

Nemesis Reborn, I can’t talk about ride experience since I didn’t go on original Nemesis when I went in November 2022 (too scared of rollercoasters at the time!) but I can say that Nemesis Reborn in my opinion looks way more professional and the ride is VERY intense!

[@Todd21212]

I’m glad they want all out on the whole Phalanx storyline - the whole organisation felt pretty ignored since Sub-terra closed..

[@thrillseekers_united]

Ye would agree

[@CharlieHughes-d9k]

I agree with when that went with the phalanx story line❤⚫❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤❤️🖤

[@lukecarter1978]

Basically same ride, New lick of paint and some added effects. 😅 Great rollercoaster I was there on the open day of the original one and still love it to this day.

[@Fixat3d2]

I'm going with reborn, I think its nostalgia that makes people say the old one is better but I respect both opinions

[@roller_coaster_sam]

Such an amazing video!

[@AttractionSource]

Thank you ☺️

[@CharlieHughes-d9k]

This soundtrack gives me ace of nemmy and when I go to alton towers

[@smith9808]

I’d take the unique bone white track and the new station with the old queue line spikes. Still, I love the red veins and happy with the overall outcome.

[@arranmelaugh5606]

Is the green hut thing in the que line at 0:10, a shop that used to be open?

[@AttractionSource]

It was an old cover for vending machines. Glad it's gone!

[@AmusementInsider]

Excellent video

[@AttractionSource]

Thanks ☺

[@mynameiskrysta]

Honestly when you put them together like this, I hate to say it but I think i liked the old look better, it just looked,,, realer

[@AttractionSource]

Yep, is all subjective! I definitely miss elements of the old theme.

[@justbob4646]

What do the stats say? Is the new one faster? etc

[@AttractionSource]

Identical.

[@xsm5525]

Reborn for sure the clear winner. but it needs to run for a good year or 2 because B&M's age better as time goes! it's a all a bit stiff at the moment.

[@CoastersThrillsAndAirtimeHills]

You can actually tell it’s a monster now lol

[@wildwestadventures2168]

The ride I had yesterday on it felt really rough,

[@AttractionSource]

They are working on it!

[@LaurenceGough]

[@VelocicoasterFanboy]

Nemesis Reborn 100%

[@LaurenceGough]

The old one looked and rode better, shame about the trees, I hope they are replanted but I bet they won't be :(.

[@jen8639]

Its such a horrible rework all around to be honest and this side by side proves it. The only thing that is incredible is the eye which is world class, other than that, Alton should really bring in some new creatives with high level thinking instead of this tarnished cheap look. Maybe start pinching some people from the parks in Europe like Phantasialand, Europa or Efteling. Airbrushed veins onto a track like some gypsy fair ghost train.Theres a good reason no other B&M has this. Because it looks incredible tacky. Close up its even worse and will age horribly. Why is everything so,...black? Black fences black supports black track, black signage. The original was beautiful because it had some elements of contrast. Now its just a wretched mass of glossy black paint everywhere.

[@scw55]

I think it's to reflect the aesthetic of the time. Today, strong design has strong colour contrasts and aggressive impact. Maybe things will look different in another 30 years when they retrack it again and change the theme to fit then-tastes. The veins do communicate that the track **is** part of the Beast more successfully. Whilst with the old theme, it wasn't explicit. The veins are a continual motif that echoes throughout the zone with the tentacles on many things. It helps communicate **how** Sub-Terra narratively even works. Even though Nemesis is pinned down and contained, their tentacles are still able to roam. Whilst I miss the aesthetic of Entropy and how well it aged since the natural decay of things would only heighten the theming, I think the current theming more successfully communicates what Nemesis **is** to the public, even if it's very over-the-top.

Nemesis reborn 100%
