Eureka Mountain Mine Ride reopening discussion

[Theme Park Girl]

After a bit of rehashing through this thread, I am convinced AndrewH aka Xenon is a troll... he can't even seem to keep up with all the blatant contradictions posted between the two accounts he has been using on this forum between last year and today. The dates of the posts speak for themselves.

 

June-Sept 2015

 

Today....

luv the new title

How does closing Kevil Hill even save that much money... it's a one-staff-member attraction. Surely one staff member's wages can't fund the refurbishment of eureka.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

depends... could be a really shitty refurbishment...

 

or perhaps that was just to fund the cost of installing an extra 'Andrew-proof' upper door panel on the exit gate

#expensivedoors.

[Santa07]

Kevil Hill was only closed in off-peak periods, and I'm pretty sure the reason they closed it is because during those times it's too hard to get the minimum 10-person per game requirement during those times.

All I am going to say from reading what OceanGirl posted, Xexon did get the cyclone makeover and new train correct. So maybe that source could be accurate???

He also said something was happening inside Eureka, whilst also saying nothing will happen with Eureka.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

To explaind on alexB's comments. 

I don't know anything about any anniversar plans but hey it would make sense if they could.

 

But I would think about the fact that it obviously closed and stayed closed for a reason. Whatever that reason was can't be a small minor detail so removing that reason obviously would take a lot of planning, testing, design, fabrication, installation, testing, adjusting, rebrabrication when it likely doesn't all work first go, certification and then opening. 

Thats YEARS of full time work, and given this is likely a bit of a side project, maybe more.

Let me ask you some questions that should help guide you in the right direction:

- What themed area in the park is having an anniversary this year?

- When do new rides or refreshes generally open in the year?

- How long does construction of that type generally take?

With a bit of common sense, you can guess if anything were to happen, you'd know when.

Ooh ooh sir, I know this one! Pick me! pick me!

Umm,

- The entrance

- When they're ready

- Twice as long as half of it

Well, technically every area, since you never specified what anniversary it is

Good point but I think as we are in the EUREKA MINE RIDE forum he would be referring to the area where eureka is Town of Gold Rush.

DW's response to someone asking if the Mine Ride will reopen on FB, pretty much a typical response they have said for a while now

Well DW doesn't really like to let cat out of bag even if they did know if it's going to reopen this year.

[Ashley]

I emailed DW today to ask about the mine ride but got the same answer as per usual just keep a look out on the website and Facebook page.

So do that if you didn't know already.

Should have typed it all in caps so they knew he was serious about getting the info. I mean if he's making the effort to hold down the shift key, they can make the effort to give him the answer. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

what... no caps lock?

[webslave]

Caps Lock is cruise control for cool.

I thought that only happened in jail. and ipswich. 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Joz, why are you harassing WWW Worker for? Why can't we all just get along? Kum-Ba-Yah... an all that.

[J-Rod95]

Even if the Mine Ride didn't reopen. I was told by one of the Park Staff (maybe a month ago) that it will always be there even if not operating, because when it was built; it was built along side the Thunder River Rapids. Each ride needs each other.

A concrete water channel  needs a spraycrete and foam mountain just sitting above it?
