NO SPOILERS - 2012: Nemesis Sub-Terra... Part 2
You stated "significant" teething problems as though it was something unusual to Alton Towers. Generally all new attractions have some level of downtime in their first few weeks of operation. I imagine Sub-Terra will be the same but hopefully it will not be "significant"

The thing Sub-Terra will have in it's favor is the fact the ride system has been installed and working for a while already. Therefore hopefully the ironing out has already been done while the effects were added/tested.

Quite bad, there heavy and only like a lap bar really, if you were small enough and flexable you could easily push yourself out... But for me they were too low, and over too quick, onload/off load took longer so, i hope these are better than them, there a bit like hex's fit to the biggest person, :/haydn! wrote: What are the restraints like on these Extremis rides?
Are we talking Air with plenty of room for the bigger person, or Ripsaw, no chance if your an ounce overweight? :P

This ride is perfectly safe. Everything has been designed for your comfort and enjoyment. :Pmrbrightside wrote: I can assure you that you wouldn't be able to push yourself out as they are designed for the smallest rider to be able to sit safely on the ride...

Yeah, it's called sitting forward slightly so that when you sit back there's a lovely bit of space between you and restraint during the ride...
Of course, that only works for individual seats... For ones like Extremis, find a big person and ride with them...

Some decent pics of the exterior have been uploaded in the spoiler thread if anyone is interested. No images inside the ride so nothing to spoil. There is some info about the nature of the ride though in the thread, of course, so just scroll until you see the pics. Just so you know nothing dramatic has been revealed yet.
An image of the inside is expected soon so just stick to page 2 of the thread.
