Not much left of Arkham asylum, it has definitely been cut to pieces with a blow torch.

You can always train people, and no doubt there are current heritage volunteers that would do the same thing for a wage. It's all the expense of certifying and maintaining a pressure vessel operating at 150psi/1000kpa+, containing water at around 180 degrees. Look up boiler explosions for what it looks like when it goes wrong. QR currently don't operate any services (but are keeping staff qualifications current). Then, because of those requirements, you need a skilled and qualified person. You need at least two to cover leave and illness. Train crew typically earn $100k-$150k in Australia. Or alternatively to all those costs you can train someone to operate an amusement ride and have a diesel mechanic.
