Alton Towers Resort’s Nemesis Sub-Terra egg found homeless and unwanted.
Alton Towers Resort’s Nemesis Sub-Terra egg, one of the eggs in London’s The Big Egg Hunt, has caused controversy today for being ‘too scary.’ Already rejected by Canary Wharf, Covent Garden and Primrose Hill, the egg has had numerous doors shut in its face.
The Big Egg Hunt showcases over 200 uniquely crafted eggs, created by leading artists, designers and jewelers and are all scattered around the capital in allocated hidden locations. However, this morning four men in biohazard suits were spotted removing the gruesome Nemesis Sub – Terra alien egg from London’s Carnaby Street after it was deemed too ugly to be homed in one of the capital’s tourist hotspots.
The Nemesis Sub-Terra egg has been created as part of the launch of Alton Towers Resort’s terrifying new attraction, Nemesis Sub-Terra. Opening on 24 March, and unlike anything seen before in the UK, Nemesis Sub-Terra is based upon the alien back-story of the original Nemesis rollercoaster. Nemesis Sub-Terra takes guests into a restricted facility deep underground where a system of hidden caves has been discovered, as it emerges that the Nemesis site, first excavated in 1994, is not all it seems! Even the bravest of thrill seekers in Britain will struggle to keep their cool as the fear of the unknown creeps up on them and they realise their worst nightmare underground!
Katherine Duckworth from Alton Towers Resort commented, “The other eggs are all so beautiful and eye catching, but that’s resulted in this nightmare of our ugly egg becoming homeless. Several of the locations called us at the last minute to say that our Nemesis Sub-Terra egg was just too repulsive for their area, even if it was hidden! Our egg was always supposed to be scary to represent the theme of the new attraction, but we never expected this kind of backlash ’
The egg is temporarily residing in St Christopher’s Place, but a spokesperson from the area has confirmed that they will not keep the egg for the full 40 days, but how long it’s able to stay is unknown…

Ride 'too scary' for under 12s
Fear ... attraction is too scary for under 12s
FILM chiefs have rated a theme park attraction too scary for under 12s.
The British Board of Film Classification moved after examining the Nemesis Sub-Terra at Alton Towers.
Until now the BBFC has only dealt with films or games, but were called in by the park before the ride went live.
Bosses at Alton Towers decided to take advice after seeing testing panel results before the opening on March 24.
Now the film board has slapped it with a 12A certificate, meaning under 12s need an adult with them to go on it.
Murray Perkins, Senior Examiner at the BBFC said: "We are seeing a real blur of the old boundaries of visual content and physical experience in both 3D and 4D cinema, and at theme parks.
Sneak peek ... artist impression of attraction
"After experiencing the attraction first-hand, based on 100 years of experience and line with British public opinion, we would recommend that Alton Towers Resort classify the new Nemesis Sub-Terra a 12A. "It contains some intense moments, in some respects comparable with scary scenes which may be experienced in horror or science fiction films."
Secrecy surrounds the new attraction, but it is set underground in a system of caves.
It is based on the back story of the original Nemesis ride, which opened in 1994.
Spokesperson Katherine Duckworth said: "The classification is important for the resort to ensure the wellbeing of our guests.
"We are aware the enforcements that will now be implemented will mean that many of our younger visitors are unable to experience Nemesis Sub-Terra, which we are obviously concerned about.
"However, the Alton Towers Resort prides itself on offering a variety of rides for all ages and we hope that those under the age of 12 will continue to enjoy our other attractions."
