The link has already posted, but in one of the Thirteen/SW6 threads. , though it was to show some of JW's earlier stuff.
Yes, indeed it was Here
I was meant to move them, but completely forgot.
Thanks though Sam!, saved me a job :P
Some excellent photographs there, some of which would no doubt of been very difficult to source.

PaulB posted them here in the SW6 construction topic when most of team TT were at Alton (opening day). I sent squiggles a link so they could be found but I’m glad someone else has posted them in their own topic.
There brilliant pictures that I never realised even existed. I almost thought the track was airs at first.
The reason he put them in the SW6 forum was apparently:
[quote=""Paulb235""]Thought you might like to see these as a taster to what John Wardley can really create![/quote] Interesting statement.

Thanks to Adzy for the sig & av.
[s:3scek96t]Where's Wardley?
Can you spot John Wardley in all the scenes? Make sure you find his clipboard too! He's in a different place in every scene! :mrgreen: [/s:3scek96t]
I find all of the photos in that album amazing. Nemesis is an amazing experience, and it has thankfully survived the dark period much better than some of John Wardley's other rides. Like he said himself, the whole area was flat and normal, so it is hard to compare the old image of Thunder Valley before they quarried in and built Nemesis. It is such a clever ride to be engineered into that pit perfectly.
I also love the way that the track looks old now but was the same then! :P

Indeed, it was me! At the grand age of THREE!
Some cracking photos here! Love it! I love the ones of them climbing on the track, does make me laugh. Comparing that to what a few members here have done with Corkscrew track, this makes that look pathetic!

I like the rusty effect that some recent paint jobs have kinda ruined. I think its high time both Nemesis and Oblivion got a really good paint job and I dont mean a slap of paint on it, but actually done with care and attention to detail.
aagh! thats where i remember seeing the track laid out when i was a kid! for some reason i always thought it was on the mini bus park but this just made me remember! ooh the memories!

It's weird because the pics must still be on Facebook as the ones posted in this topic are still live.

I always thought that they painted the track before delivering it to the park... . How do they paint it when at the park, do they have a special facility or something. :P
