A view of the site from the monorail, construction is moving at a more rapid pace, In the left hand corner new footers have been placed, these concrete footers will support the steel tubular sections of the first drop. The final turn of Nemesis, the lift hill footers have been in place since the start of the season and all awaits is the lift hill track.

A clear view of the first tunnel from the monorail. The first part of the tunnel work is complete, with walls and a floor, currently the remaining walls are being filled with concrete. A view from the Ripsaw queue of the fence and work beyond. Notice the new viewing holes in the fence for visitors to look through.
Construction work seen through a grid fence. Looking closely the tunnel walls can be seen on the left and towards the back left of the picture hole 3 starts to take shape. Another view from the monorail, this time the tunnel walls can be seen behind trees and bushes still on the site.

This picture has been taken from where the break run will be, soon the flat land in front will be the station and the track will travel through the tunnel ahead. This picture has been taken from the mid ride tunnel, currently only a dip. In the background the first tunnel can be seen.
A close up picture of the first tunnel, the first section of which has walls and a floor, but, still it is covered in scaffolding. This picture has been taken from inside of the first tunnel, scaffolding covers the top due to the upper wall still to be poured. At the end of the tunnel light is seen and the concrete slope which the ride will incline.
  Please remember that the construction site is out of bounds to anyone who does not have authorised access- It is a dangerous place.
17th June 2001  
Construction work is progressing, the first tunnel is nearly complete and soil is starting to fill in the sides behind the walls. New footers have appeared in numerous places around the mid ride tunnel.
The area of land behind the final turn of Nemesis has been cleared and footers have been set.
