Do notice that the gold rush alley sign from the roof of the old entrance to eureka mountain mine ride.

Oooo I hadn't noticed that  So it has

I noticed a month or so ago too that the old broken Frog game thing (that had been sitting inside there for ages, despite them still using the sideshow during school holiday periods) had also been removed. They have two other target game things in there still, but they look like they are easily removable. Everything else that was in there has been removed.

Would be an odd spot for water guns, thinking sideshow game more than anything.

News from eureka mountain, there's some floorboards and construction happening from behind a blue screen. more test dummies are sitting at the station, photo taken from through the exit door around the side of the ride, and there's still the old mine cart sitting behind the door. It's cart number 10, which is the same one that's been sitting for a while now. I'd take this as good news! 

Carnival sign and equipment has been removed too

^The removal of the carnival games and signage is a promising sign that they will be reopening the ride.

Obviously a lot of work to be done, but it does appear that they are actually doing it at last!

I wouldn't be so sure yet, I'd be more looking at they "want" to reopen it, but realised for the time being the carnival games aren't making enough money to be viable. I'd say we'll likely see a replacement in that area before the ride reopens. Wouldn't surprise me if it was those stupid sales people from outside the rapids. 

Although, wheeling in a couple of popcorn machines, churro machines and drinks freezers could be a nice addition to the area. Especially now summer's almost here.

Well as it's been mentioned for the forum that it's the town of gold rushes 30th anniversary there more than likely to do something for it and eureka re-opening would be perfect. They did something for the parks 30th birthday by opening the shockwave and buzzsaw that year.

Yep it's new

[Ashley]

Newly built that is.

Ocean girl up-loaded a picture of this last week

[Brad2912]

And the off cuts/old wood from the original door is the rubbish piled up that someone posted earlier today. I don't think its a sign Eureka is re-opening, just part of their cosmetic improvements around the park 

[Xexon]

Yes but the water dummies are definitely new (at least the last few months), plus there had been a mine cart sitting at the station for quite a few months, which has been moved. Certainly something is happening inside Eureka.

[Brad2912]

Or it's being used as a storage area as has always been the case, and a few things have been moved around 

[totta3]

Last week there was 1 mine cart in the station with water dummies in them and the same cart later that week was located behind the cave location in picture.

[bladex]

Yep it's new

ahh so that's where the new shop is going

[Reanimated35]

What was behind there before? Old chairlift building?

 

[pin142]

Entrance and exit path for the chairlift.

[totta3]

The big carriage was always there.

 

The exit for the chair lift was on the left hand side of the jail.

[Ashley]

Definitely something going on expect this to be under wraps  for while you know what DW is like with keeping secrets

[coasterdude44]

Maybe their keeping it under wraps and planning on reopening the ride in late 2016

 

Gold Rush Country's 30th anniversary which is also the same date the ride opened

Could you be slightly more specific? I could have guessed that from the photo.
