I will be talking about the version of the ride that I experienced.Īs you headed through the queue line, TVs told you briefly about the backstory. Alton Towers took this information and actually did something about it. I have heard though that the ride began its life as a substandard attraction. I never experienced this version of the ride myself as I didn’t get to the park that year until Scarefest, by which it had already been revamped.

The ride itself was originally met with a lot of negative feedback as the ride was confusing, underwhelming and a missed opportunity. Sub Terra brought the area of the park together and gave it a great atmosphere of a secret military facility. Breathing new life into the Nemesis story was a genius way of generating hype for the new ride while also bringing Nemesis back to the forefront of everyone’s minds.

Despite this improvement, over the years, the ride was stripped back and in August 2015, Alton Towers closed the doors to Nemesis: Sub Terra for good. Though opening to some pretty harsh criticism, Alton Towers took the negative feedback, did some work and came back stronger with the revamped ride winning over a lot of people. Nemesis: Sub Terra opened in March 2012 at Alton Towers as a new dark ride, something the park definitely needed.
