"Details of the transformation are being kept under wraps for now with more information to be revealed nearer the time."
Kate McBirnie, head of product excellence at Alton Towers Resort, said: "The legendary rollercoaster is loved by thrillseekers across the UK and beyond, and we want to give fans of the ride the opportunity to experience Nemesis in its current form before it closes on 6 November."
During the 80-second ride, its 32 passengers feel a G force of 3.5 - a bit less than Formula 1 drivers feel when they brake - as they race past the rocks and rivers of the Staffordshire theme park's Forbidden Valley.
An unfortunate group of adrenaline junkies became stranded at the top of the Alton Towers ride Oblivion, and had to walk all the way back to ground level on one of the hottest days in British history.
While many chose to do as little as they could in the record-breaking 40C heat on Tuesday, some clearly thought the stifling temperatures were the perfect conditions for a trip to the theme park.
Oblivion suspends thrill seekers at the top of a vertical 180ft drop into an underground tunnel, which they plummet into.
But when the ride got stuck at the top, one group were left stranded 65ft in the air and treated to a much slower descent.
Dramatic!
