Minions! 66 Posted September 14, 2017 Report Share Posted September 14, 2017 Just now, bladex said: it'll be no longer eureka anymore. once they tear down the MT they will re-theme and repaint the track like they did with hot wheels . let's face it goldrush isn't goldrush any more whole area will be re-themed for sure. That's news to me!? Where'd you hear this? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was near the old Big Brother shop Originally you could see into the area but it has now been fenced off, (the best way to see it was to go on the Dreamworld Express) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BTTF Forever 28 Posted September 16, 2017 Report Share Posted September 16, 2017 (edited) Just in case anyone needed clarification on what exactly they are doing to EMMR. EDIT: Also it is good to see something finally happening with the area, looking forward to what's in store.

jcgoldcoast 24 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 @JeffreyMoore Not sure if I've missed something, but I can't say I've seen anything from Dreamworld stating that the mountain was coming down because it's not fire safe. Are you able to point me to where this was stated? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jcgoldcoast 24 Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 The Facebook page states: Quote The Mine Ride closed 11 years ago and at the time didn’t meet modern fire safety compliance standards... My interpretation of this statement would be that the ride does not meet modern fire safety requirements (e.g. the required number of emergency exits etc), not that the mountain is not fire safe. I'm sure that if the mountain was not fire safe, it would have come down as soon as Dreamworld became aware of this. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Minions! 66 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Currently whilst the mountain is removed there are a few mine carts sitting out back with the wipeout parts! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Jay The Jet Plane 1,458 Posted September 24, 2017 Report Share Posted September 24, 2017 Forgot to post these from yesterday I know you can’t really see what’s going on in the third picture but there was a mine cart sitting in there with the lift hill exposed TPG managed to get a good shot via the help with James from PCL of the lift hill and the mine cart in sight 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rollercoaster_Lover 86 Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Can’t wait to see the track soon, once the mountains gone we can see what they are doing with the track. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reanimated35 3,493 Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 It's funny to see how little the mountain was actually held up with. Makes me wonder if it was done today how much different it might have to look. Those photos just make it look so flimsy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good enough to have it stand for all this time, taking only an ex-cyclone to damage it enough to trigger action. Also, was curious, but from the pic there is smoke sensors/alarms in the mountain. Cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is probably a mixture of flammability and sufficient escape paths that are it's problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Reanimated35 3,493 Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 You mean it's not just as simple as chucking a smoke alarm in there and calling it a day? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Themeparkfan 23 Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 So sad to see the mountain like this goodbye childhood memories! Gold rush country was amazing when it first opened it was so immersive you actually felt like you were in a mining town the staff wore themed uniforms the ambient music when you went on Eureka you felt like you were in an abandoned gold mine when you went on the rapids you felt like you were going on a raft expedition on a raft made out of old wooden barrels good times! at least they are keeping the ride itself maybe they will put a new mountain up in a different theme?
