Join us on Expedition weekly as we look at the abandoned history of Nemesis: Sub-Terra at Alton Towers in England. This short lived underwhelming attraction was closed after a few seasons. A unworthy sequel to the best roller coaster in the UK Nemesis.

    Oh God... Nemesis Sub-Terra... I remember me and my mates at a school trip accidentally running out of a fire escape thinking that was the way we were meant to be going. It really broke the immersion of the story, being set miles underground, so it was funny just running out of a door into a wooded area of the UK.

    I had a similar experience but I ran the to the entrance which wasn't there anymore as we had dropped down. And me and my mate were panicking because there was a timer counting down to when the door would be closed and I don't think we ever ran faster.

    Here's how I would have done the ride, assuming a huge budget. Guests enter the queue, which is themed to the Phalanx research facility. They wait in the lobby, where videos give them a primer into the history of Phalanx and the exciting new discovery below ground (backstory and basic ride experience). Groups of 40 are ushered into a room by a cast member, who gives a safety spiel before letting guests into the viewing lift (four rows of ten) and put on their shoulder harnesses. The lift descends a little bit, then stops. Lights go off, emergency red lighting comes on. Ride vehicle shakes as speakers play Evil Nemesis Creature Noises. Emergency lights flicker, go off, flicker again, then stay off as the ride vehicle plummets to the bottom of the 100-foot shaft, coming to rest in front of an animatronic of the creature, which "appears" as a jumpscare via strobes and loud noises. More interactive elements in darkness (leg ticklers, back prodders) as the crew above frantically work to get the elevator back up to safety; guests hear this through garbled radio chatter. Creature lunges for guests; elevator is brought back up just in time and guests are ushered off.

    Off-topic but it was mentioned, I went into thirteen thinking it was a ghost train like the Darren brown one at Thorpe Park, the drop was an 'oh fuq' moment but I think the queue was scarier than the actual ride itself with the whole counting and the strange whispers and the lightning thing, the way they advertised it was so different though, I feel like thats also what they did here, everyone was hype for some super scary ride and it was just a bit disappointing.

It's a shame to see the ride die on its arse the way it did, but hopefully the new concept will breathe life back into it. Haven't been Towers in years so looking forward to coming back to see all the changes on the park. =)

I remember while in the q line a girl q jumped and a few seconds later a woman wearing the theme uniform escorted her out the park. To be honest it would of been better if it was a temporary Halloween ride. I heard a rumer that was depending which q line you go in you get the crazed gas mask guys after the monster attack from the lift. I didn't get them.

    I went on this ride with my family in 2013. We hadn't seen any promotional material for it, so went in completely blind. As a result, the surprise factor made it really enjoyable - one of my favourite rides of the day. We went again the following year, but with the element of surprise gone it was as you said, "a themed fire escape".

In the video the safety bars have been lowered but just before the ride goes up a child can be seen squeezing out of the harness and moving to the the side of the drop rides enclosure. After this incident we were told all the rides that use that harness had been told to stop operation until the harness were sorted out.

I went on it during a school trip and I actually really enjoyed it. I think it was a good introduction to drop rides. Granted, the theming wasn’t exactly ‘family-friendly’, but as parents you know your children and what they can handle - some children are thrill seekers and would have really liked it too. I do hope it re-opens in the future with some alterations. I think it’s a waste of the space otherwise.

    Like what the great scholar Shawn Sanbrooke once said, it seems after the smiler crash, Alton towers and Blackpool pleasure beach switched places. Before the crash, Alton was on top of its game, the best British theme park and of the highest regard and Blackpool pleasure beach was in ruins, most of the rides standing but not operating and an overall mess. However, after the crash, Alton towers became in ruins and many rides SBNO while BPB became new, fresh, gets praises from enthusiasts and the GP alike. I just hope one day Alton gets back on their feet and the general public don't see it as "leg chop off land".

It upsets me that Alton Towers has got to the state it is now, especially when you watch back old videos from the 80s and 90s and it reminds you just what a fantastic place it was, and as you say, the number 1. It was such an amazing atmosphere with all the shows, street entertainment and fantastic rides around every corner. Now many corners are like eerie ghost towns. I will be so happy the day they return to glory, if that day ever does come (soon I hope!).

    There's a stark difference between praises from the General Public and praises from enthusiasts, the prior 'we' don't really hear about. The admission numbers will reflect on how well BPB are doing, but prior to Icon that park still wasn't gaining large numbers despite a new found respect from enthusiasts. I think it's very interesting how every seems to forget the economics behind having a severe incident occur at a theme park. Towers numbers sank 25%, which equates to well more than 25% of the profit. No wonder Towers had to change. Hopefully with the rise of Wicker Man the park can regain momentum, investments, and praise.

    With the announcement today (17th May 2023) of Nemesis: Sub-Terra reopening on the 27th, I guess this attraction is no longer considered "abandoned". I do wonder if they have changed anything to do with its story though. 🤔

    I remember going when it first opened and was so angry after having waited in line for over 3 hours. The new additions were too little too late. I’m glad they’re using the space for something now after seeing it sit there for so long unused. I do love the scare mazes at Alton towers but off to Thorpe park this halowe’en instead. Great video! It’s really interesting to see how it changed so much 👍👏

    I managed to ride this once in its final state of existence (with the added scare maze) and I actually really enjoyed it, especially considering the initial reviews and the fact that this isn’t normally my kind of ride. I thought it was a pretty intense experience actually and the theming was great. I’d love to see it return but like you say, it doesn’t seem likely. Great video :)

    I rode it when I was like 12/13 and thought it was pretty cool/thrilling. It made my heart rate shoot up and my friends and I had a good giggle as we exited the ride. Sure, for older riders it ain't all that. But for teenagers I think it's a nice little lore ride to the origanal and iconic Nemesis.

    Nemesis Sub-Terra is/was a great experience when it was completed and I'm gutted it's closed. The ride was closed due to multiple safety reasons and incidents and requires a new restraint system. I would love to see it re-open though as Alton are just losing so many rides 😔

    I remember going on this ride in scarecest 2012 and I don't know if it was changed for the purpose of scarefest but when the 'egg' broke and you're meant to be released from the harness it was really delayed and all you could hear was screaming and everyone was freaking out and crying, it was so horrible. I was crying and I'd been on it so many times before, even at scarefests in the past!

    I like zombies and stuff so when I went on it for scarefest I was surprised that the ride was still there except it wasn't functioning. The egg was still there by the way it was immersive most of the old ride was there like the lift and the opening area with minor new parts like vines and zombies sadly I never got to ride on the actual ride only videos off youtube. The scaremaze is great though

    I went on this ride not that long before it closed. I begged my mum, her friend and my cousin to go on it as I had seen the adverts for it and it looked super cool. I actually really enjoyed the ride. The leg ticklers worked as they got one of the people who I went with and the "lift" we went in on the way out was a little scary and hilarious as my mum touched her friend's hand and she screamed haha. The actors on the way out were a really good touch especially since you didn't expect them. I went to Alton again probably summer 2017 and was sad to see that it had closed down as it was a ride I really wanted to go on again.

    What you need to keep in mind is that in season we were waiting in line for at least an hour. After such a long wait and with the build up that it is related to Nemesis experiencing a short fall did feel like a big let down. Out of season when you could walk right on in made it seem so much better! Oh and serious props to the actors, personally I LOVED been shouted at by the guards, they were clearly loving their jobs and to keep that energy up all shift must have took dedication!

We walked through different walkways with metal fences either side with the shapes of zombies with lights flashing creating the allusion of movement. My brother screamed at one of the actors and they bike character telling him off

    I only went on it once and I didn’t want to go on it again after that. During “evacuation” I almost got trampled on by other people due to staff having to guide a large group out of the main room, then everyone was crammed into the lift. I got that shook up that I ended up having a panic attack in the lift and non of the staff would help when my friends asked. After exiting the ride we overheard two of the staff members saying that they could’ve handled that exit better. Me and my friends were excited to see what this ride was like due to the ads and loving Nemesis and to be honest it was a let down.

    As a fellow PTSD-haver, I sympathize. Men yelling at me tend to set me off too. Last time I went to a theme park, I carried my "therapy bear" (a homebrew customized Build-A-Bear) with me in a backpack. When a friend asked me why, I explained that autumn "spooky" events were starting up and "either I carry the bear or one of two things happens: I have a panic attack or I reflexively punch some poor scare actor".
