It's not silly at all!! Everyone loved the roar of Nemesis. It's good there's a retrack, but I'm gonna miss the roar 😂

The roar was actually a massive part of the ride. It really created a sense of fear hearing that roar as you got closer

Luckily the roar is actually still there someone recorded it testing and you can still hear the roar

A roar is still there with Nemesis Reborn but it's slightly quieter. I noticed when I went on Black Mamba in PhantasiaIsland yesterday and it had the original classic roar still there. I miss it.

Yes, I will miss it. It would be nice to keep the roar for the loop at least - something intermittent to surprise the queuing guests.

Great bear at Hersheypark has that classic roar to it and you can here it across the park when it’s quiet

I'll miss getting out if the car into the car park and hearing Nemesis's roar echoing through the area

Dang I thought this had 29k likes??? This is so good. Informative and fun. U should have put an audio recording of nemesis!! Great job!!! Keep it up :)

Loud sounds mean that the structure is vibrating considerably, possibly creating wear and tear over time. It makes sense why you would want to absorb that.

Amazing news it still has the roar

Miss it already, happy i got to go on it again last year before it closed for refurb

The Great Baer in Hersheypark is a good example of rollercoaster with that sound

Kumba at Busch Gardens Tampa has hollow track! Its name literally translates to roar in Swahili. You can hear it half way across the park!

I never knew that! That’s so cool though and interesting to see how the industry evolves their approach to noise etc 😊

I went on opining day and it still has a roar

Fun fact, BnM, I’m actually puts the sand inside of the rails and not the box of the track like a diagram shown, that was a diagram of leviathan at Canada’s Wonderland, which has sand added to it after I was built so they couldn’t put in the rails or else the ride would become really rough as they would have to cut open the rails, and then re-weld them

When you go to chessington you still get a good old roar from vampire and its also designed by John Wardley which is epic

Not been to AT for a few years - well Air was still Air and the log flume was there, so that's going back a few lol. But I did love the "Roar" of Nemmy. Thankfully, they kept that in Virtual Towers Online. :D

You can hear a roar at cedar point on raptor

In Hershey park there is another coaster that is Cary similar to nemesis(also made by b&m) and because of the roar it’s called the great bear

The sand is not just for the sound but also reducing vibration

That's why Valravn and Raptor makes that noise and I love that noise so much

The roar is still there

Thank you, I was dying to know why Raptor and Rougaru were so much louder than say, gatekeeper or valravn

Hopefully Batman at SFOT won’t get sand. Then again it probably won’t need it because it’s right by the highway

Rip the nemesis roar, so glad I went before the retrack so I could experience such an iconic sound, it's like removing the "don't look down" on oblivion, oh wait -_-

It’s actually a combination of the wheels friction on the track (like the sound of drawer because it has wheels on a track), the rattling of the carts and the hollowness of the track (like mentioned in the video.

The "roar" sort of fits nemesis's theming sad to see it go

It might be filled with sand given that theyre surrounded by villages and such so I guess they might be trying to strive for a slightly quieter noise presence. Its a hunch but I figure it influenced the decision.

Even with the sand I am sure there will still be a fairly loud roar, the same thing happened with Leviathan at Canada’s Wonderland, despite the fact that it is now filled with sand you can still hear it from way into the parking lot and outside of the park

I'm going to miss the old Rusty track

There’s nothing like a B&M old school roar!! 🎢

I'll miss that sound! It was the sound of conquering childhood fear ❤

never would of thought about that...but yes, wil miss that noise

"It's going to be filled with sand." *Darth Vader noooo*

Listen to what AT posted, the roar is there!!!!!

Classic sound of Batman at Six Flags STL, love the sound of those older B&M inverts

That track looks exactly like great bears at Hershey park!

At least a lot of other older b&m models have that roar

I’d be surprised if they didn’t, considering the extreme restrictions placed on the park as far as ride height is concerned. Besides, you can certainly still make out the roar, although it is much quieter.

It still has the roar!!

I know that’s my fav sound a roller coaster makes!

The Great Bear from Hershey got it's name from this sound, and has a uniquely loud roar that is audible all over the park. The sound it makes is so ingrained in the identity of the coaster it will probably never be removed like this!

love the sound of an B&M and the launch of an intamin LSM

It's the wheels rolling on the track.

Ok a example of what the ride would sound like is Black Mamba and that ride still has a deaccent roar just not as loud as a roar and that ride has sand as well.

It makes sense tho because they've always had trouble with noise. Because of local people in the area, they've often had complaints about noise. So they've had to compromise so they can reduce noise output as well as keeping guests happy in the park.

They should leave sand out of specific parts so it roars on cue.

It sounds like a train when it goes by me

Don’t worry, we are all with you. Im sad about it too

Yep. The Batman rides make this same sound. Instantly recognizable

Yeah I'll totally miss it montu in tampa busch Gardens has the same sound

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. THE B&M ROAR IS LEGENDATY FOR ALL THEIR COASTERS!

Well, at least for Smiler still makes that noise

Medusa at Six Flags Great Adventure was the best roar from a coaster I got

Oblivion im pretty sure will still have its Roaring echo

Great bear at Hershey park is not only amazing but got quit the roar

the roar was the best

cant remove the sound from great bear. that sound is the reson why it has that name.

Hey look, Nemesis at alton towers!

At least Great Bear has the best B&M roar you will ever hear still!!! If they retrack it, I can see it staying hollow due to it sounding like a bear roaring

I hear that roaring sound when I go to mirabilandia, there’s a b&m invert called katun that opened in 2000, u can hear that sound from the opposite side of the park too

this is great news imo! Besides, it still roars.. just not obnoxiously loudly

I go to Hershey and I can hear great bear all the way from jolly rancher sometimes it so loud

Nooooo that roar was half the fun on nemesis, made it feel like the monster was real! Nemesis was louder due to the echo of the pit it was built in

Yes I will miss the roar of nemesis, but I surpose we'll still get to ride it which is kinda great.

Sand that’s what part of the roar is

Surely they can pump the roar in with hidden speakers?

Kumba at busch gardens tampa has it too

I will 100% miss it

It was detailed in the planning application iirc

Come 2 Blackpool where we love the noise and have far more top rides

it may get that not 100% but i dont think so because they know how many people love the sound

Went back to Alton Towers for the first time this weekend just gone after 20+ years. It has gone downhill massively. Very run down, paint peeling and rotten posters hanging on walls, rides not working (not just Nemesis, also Galactica and Oblivion), 3 hour long queues, service atrocious. Really very dissapointing, I do not recommend it, it used to be where I would go for my childhood birthdays. Very sad.

Their probably filling it with sand so you can hear screams from the people when their on the coaster >:)

Great Bear at Hershey Park still has it

Wow the brittish supermarket made nemesis

I won’t miss it. While it’s iconic, my least favourite part of theme parks it’s constantly stopping my conversations to wait for a train to pass

Great Bear at Hersheypark is a perfect example of this

You are incorrect, it is confirmed that the running rails are the parts that are sand filled, not the box section.

I will miss it

B and m makes roller coasters !!!!!

Rip OG Nemesis Roar

It’s NOT silly, I’ll miss it too 😢

Nah why would they get rid of it nobody complained about the noise. It costs a fortune to do and its a pain to fill the track with all the baffles and braces inside let alone the fact that almost every support which has been reinstalled is identical to the old it's just a rumour started on a forum. No evidence of it. you can even see the hollow rails during install. No point putting an extra 2 ton of sand in the spine of each piece for no reason and another point. Sand is inappropriate. The filling would have to be extensively tested for abrasive qualities and likely be something like expanding acoustic foam if anything but no point as it wasn't an issue with the council

Ha! This Aged Poorly!

B&M i can jst imagine walking in that shop and seeing rollercoaster track 😂

We’ve still got rougarou lol

Rogarou has the best noise at cedar point but is probably one of the worst rides

It made my stepsister cry 😂

Doesn’t Afterburn at Carowinds makes a roar

noooo. i understand why this is happening. as well as not being able to go over the tree line, they probably aren’t aloud to make lots of roaring as such noise, due to the people who live near alton towers. hope that helps!

You should hear the anaconda roar in Goldreef City South Africa

I just learned something new 😀

I’ve been to Alton towers

Hi, at Flamingo Land Resort Yorkshire ,can u explain why Navigators brakes are bad because im not to sure Thanks.

Medusa six flags great adventure be LOUD

It will still make a noise just not as loud unfortunately

I wonder if it’s the same thing with Batman the ride at six flags great adventure

FOLKS B&M CREATED Nemesis IS FILLED WITH SAND. FOLLOWING complaints in the early 2000's B&M obliged in the down season So fear not
