Next week all of the boarding will be replaced before new render and scenic painting is applied.

Nemesis seems to be getting a lot of attention. Through Neme21s' semi repaint (bolts, inside of station) and this year's track repaint, the ride will be returned to its former glory. However, it's left me wondering if Nemmy's trains will receive anything beyond routine maintenance.

I personally think that Nemmy should get new trains like the ones on Banshee at Kings Island.

[NemesisRider]

Trains like on Banshee have been pretty much ruled out theparklifekid, mostly due to having a larger clearance envelope then Nemesis' current trains. Also, I just doubt Merlin would invest in them. Nemesis is a bit rough and new trains would solve headbanging but if Merlin spent all that cash on new trains Nemesis would get a full on relaunch I'd expect (to make a return on the new trains).

Should a wasted building. Could easily move the frog hopper and put the building back into use.

Is it sad that I have just spent 5 minutes playing spot the difference with these photos? :lol

As shown with Th13teen, scaffolding does not stay long ...

At least, no more than 5 years.

Nemesis wouldn't be able to have vest restraints as the trains for these are wider than the standard B&M invert so the safety envelope against the landscaping on Nemesis wouldn't permit this.

To be honest, it's not been proved that these trains wouldn't fit within the landscape, it is normally just assumed they won't. I don't personally see this ever happening, but I would love for it to happen in the next few years as currently I find Nemesis quite uncomfortable to ride and end up whacking my head on the restraint.

I don't think Nemesis should be too comfortable. I personally find that some coasters are too smooth, especially considering their theme *cough* The Swarm *cough*. Perhaps a few years down the line when it gets even more uncomfortable, they'd be good (if they fit), but for now I'm happy with Nemesis as it is.

I think that image was taken by towersstreet.

That section of track hasn't had its white coat yet as you can see by the MI7 update.

[Aidan Lowe]

Indeed it was taken by TS, found it on Twitter however by another account.

It may not have been painted pure white like other parts but its definitely been painted recently with the bright red. The same angle back in December here shows the state it was in.

Not sure if its going to receive a white coat now considering they applied the red.

[MakoMania]

Somebody on theme park review suggested that if the track had undergone a thorough jet wash then the red could've appeared as a base layer applied back in 1994. I haven't a clue myself about that, all I know is that it hasn't been painted white like the rest of the track yet.

Yeah, that will be the base metal, on the TLC Twitter, they said that the track had been shotblasted to base metal and inspected. If you look around the white areas near the red, you will see that they aren't the same pure white of the rest for the track, which can be seen below the loop. This suggests the loop hasn't been painted yet.

[Justin]

The joints have likely been painted with a red oxide primer to stop rust occuring on the structure at the most vulnerable points. The inverted loop is probably the most difficult part of Nemesis to paint due to it's surroundings. I can see the pit and nearby track causing issues, but they will have experts in to overcome this quite easily.
