Nice video, though it doesn't give much away with regards to the ride itself.

The logo for the ride.
Here's the trailer again as well because it's a new page and easier to spot when it's embedded.

I still dislike the name though. I wouldn't mind if the bit after Nemesis: sounded good on it's own. Hardly anyone is going to call it by it's full name so saying you're going to go ride Sub-Terra sounds stupid.

Its not a random wizzard .. It was professor Haldane who had been turned by the Nemesites... He was working with Heather on the book and talisman that was dug up at the Towers .. you can see him in the original promo video and earlier in the comic..
Top tip read the whole of the comic and all will make sense .. nothing new has be learnt except the name unless AT are playing a prank...
Just hope we get a full on Phalanx v Nemesis / Nemesites experience ...

So from nemesis what lies beneath to nemesis sub terra. Am I the only one who finds it strange?

Well. That's just rubbish.
At least Nemesis Inferno is at a different park.
This would be like having The Matterhorn and The Matterhorn: Underground at Dizzyland.
Stupid.
I'm hoping they're having a joke on us.

Soooo basically revisiting the original story...
Eh, too early to tell really, gonna wait and see when actual ride details turn up...

^I think some guys at Walibi Belgium would object to that. Perhaps the technical team at Arrow as well. Or even old Kinzel, who spent millions building world's most power- and maintenance-requiring ride for the sake of nagging a record or two. At least, Leviathan is bound to rake it in on the financial side. While enthusiasts say "Meh, two coasters that are exactly alike", the public say "OMG! Two giant rides at the same park! It's cool because I can ride two big-ass rides while paying only one ticket! This makes Canada's Wonderland a better holiday option than [park] because [park] only has/hasn't one superbig coaster!"
(I will keep on repeating this until somebody objects to it, 'cause every time I bring the marketing perspective up, people change topic. But if you want to quote it and reply to it, do so in the Leviathan construction topic)
On topic, though: This looks promising for Nemesis, at least. It looks like its position is cemented for a few more years, with this tie-in attraction and all. We can put all the "looks like Nemesis will only last a season or two more"-talk aside for a few more years. Alton won't invest millions in a new ride, only to ditch the coaster it's based on the year after.

To be honest? Meh.
I think the poster and trailer are quite boring and nothing special, but I'm hopeful that the ride might be quite fun. At least (like Poke pointed out) it's kinda secures Nemesis for another few years.
This will be a decent enough addition to justify at least one visit to Alton this year, then we can see what they'll do with the 2013 addition.
