Alton Towers have today revealed a new teaser for the Nemesis refurbishment / reimagining coming to the resort in 2024.
The video, which can be found via Alton Towers' social feeds shows "leaked" footage around a Phalanx facility, explaining all is not what it seems surrounding the Nemesis investigations.
In the video, it shows a Nemesis tentacle has been discovered, which is the track for the rollercoaster itself, sporting a black design with red veins running down the spine on the track piece. It is very reminiscent of the original colour scheme of the branding used when the ride first opened in 1994

Over the winter months, investigations have been underway at our Phalanx Research Facility to identify the reasons behind the unusual behaviour of Nemesis during 2022.
We have taken extensive samples for a range of in vitro and vivo tests, including deep cell analysis, chemical treatment testing, radiation exposure tests, antidote research, behavioural analysis and DNA genome mapping.
Our tests are confidential, but all results so far indicate that there is nothing to be concerned about.
We invite you to take a look for yourself via our Observation Platform open from 26th April located at the Alton Towers Resort.

Work on rebuilding the foundations for Nemesis at Alton Towers is well underway. Riding the monorail into the park in the morning yesterday it was a weird sight not seeing the track wrapping around the pit and area. But you get an amazing view of the progress being made in the area.
Construction walls for Nemesis have also been pushed back with more access doors installed in the area meaning we can get a sneak peek at some of the progress being made.
Towards the top of the ride after the list hill, some of the basses of the supports are still visible. You can see where the removal company laser cut the base of the support to get the track out as quickly as they could. From riding air and looking around the area, it looks like these are the last two original support left to be fully removed.
The entrance for the rollercoaster remains for now with a time-lapse camera installed to capture the progress being made for the ride. There is another time-lapse camera installed near the helix section. Every angle of this project is being covered by the camera and it wouldn’t surprise us if there was more than just 2 time-lapse cameras.
At the helix of section of the track, new foundations are being dug. With a huge hole is being dug where a new support will be installed to help relieve some more stress of the ride. It's interesting that only 4 or 5 new supports are needed around the ride.
With the fences pushed back it opens up the park again a little more. The Blade now uses its original entrance again rather than the old Ripsaw entrance which has been used for the past 2 weeks.
We also spotted an old 2022 park map with Nemesis and Duel still on it. We’re sure over the next few days this map will be removed and maybe have some Nemesis is under-protection marketing added to it.
Still, no more signs of Nemesis Sub Terra reopening yet, but the ride has been seen testing the pre-show the past few days. We didn’t see it ourselves but there are videos on social media and YouTube.
Exciting times ahead for Nemesis!

Is Nemesis Sub Terra about to reopen? It looks like it might be!
Extensive work has happened to the queue line for the attraction over the closed season. The queue line has been completely refurbished and the height stick for the ride has been spotted outside the pre-show for the ride.
To add to the speculation engineers have been seen entering the attraction along with hearing the ride testing.
If the attraction does reopen this year we would expect the story of the ride to change a little bit to help build the hype for the Nemesis retrack.
Next to Nemesis Sub Terra, a new viewing platform appears to have been built to allow guests to view the re-tracking of the rollercoaster. Something totally unexpected but we very nice touch!
No news from the park about the ride reopening yet, but we will of course keep you up to date when we hear it.

Nemesis is no more! All of the track (with the exception of the lift hill and break run) has been removed and work on new foundations for the rollercoaster has begun. The ride layout will remain the same with a few additional supports to help relieve stress on the ride installed throughout the layout.
Big construction walls have been installed around the Nemesis ride area with banners also plastered around the area.
"Scientific Testing Is In Progress"
The big question on everyone's lips is, what colour will the track be for the rollercoaster and will the theme and name of the ride remain the same as before?
New foundations are well underway with new footers spotted when peering over the fence. Over the next few months, we expect all of the footers will be rebuilt and the new track could be delivered as early as June time!
Next to Nemesis Sub Terra, a new viewing platform appears to have been built to allow guests to view the re-tracking of the rollercoaster. Something totally unexpected but we very nice touch! You should get an amazing view of the ride construction from this viewing platform when opened.
