Eureka Mountain Mine Ride reopening discussion

[Santa07]

It most likely would be. It would make a very good 'number 10' as well.

her tradie son is very happy at the moment because he has a job working on an old ride Dreamworld are getting going again

 

Hopefully it's not just the Cyclone V8 retheme he is working on and it is Eureka being referred to? Not that I doubt they are reopening Eureka, I'm fairly convinced the ride has a future! But until we have official confirmation we can only continue to speculate on what's happening ?

all aboard the hype train!

I personally couldn't care less about thrills, or whether there's big 9, big 10, big 11, or big 20 million!

All I want to see is more fun, entertainment, and adventure!

Fencing has been removed, time for us to get off the hype train

[Santa07]

Awwwwww

Was never on it. Maintenance team could put a hammer down within 20m of the mountain and it would spark hysteria about a revamp.

I'm sorry, I could not help myself.  Normally I don't hand out any medals at the start of the month.

 

On second thoughts this medal goes to totta3.  His LEAKED INFO has paid off.

Are the water test dummies still in the station if they are then there's still hope.

[Wil_i_am_not]

Gotta love Totta!

[Santa07]

Totta is the real MVP.

He gives us so much information.

Whether that information is correct... well that's another story.

[bladex]

wah haahaha so what was the fencing there for? were they just cleaning out the cob webs?!

Yeah it's so strange that they would require fencing, but only for a few days? Seems funny

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Maybe the fencing was required, or maybe they just wanted to exclude guests from the area so that they could undertake the work in peace...

[Ashley]

Well even know that the fencing has gone doesn't stop them from continuing on testing and work inside the mountain and if the ride will re-open next year they might put the fencing back up to un-board the old queue.

Maybe.

[Xexon]

With the old carnival games gone it's certain that at least something will be happening to the old queue.

[bladex]

^ yeah they are putting a shop in there

[Ashley]

^ yeah they are putting a shop in there

Hooray

[Xexon]

Where's andrew when you need him? Are the any more signs of construction or is it all been taken down? Also, what's up with the seamore graves theming that just went up?

Some photos from today

Nice shots Xexon. Wasn't this area the old queue section?  I rode it several times but it was years ago & I kind of remember this was the right position for it. The track used to do a drop then a sweeping right turn above the heads of those in the queue where the corrugated steel is.

the shop is coming along nicely. what do you guys think they will be selling in there?

[Xexon]

I really hope it's not just a new shop

the area pictured was the entry way to the queue house, the actual queue line is still in tact behind it from memory. 

I really hope it's not just a new shop

what else would you like it to be?

[Theme Park Girl]

I can't help but feel that they are just using it as a storage area for the paint & stuff they are using to refurb the Gold Rush cosmetics in general. As much as I hate to say that. But it doesn't really look like there's much there to work with, and the queue area doesn't look like it needs a new coat of paint. 

The dividers are just there to hide the stuff in their easily accessible place and stop people stealing them.
