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?

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)

I'm sure if you asked Brooke Shields she would be able to tell you where it is.

That'll sort the kids from the adults

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.

Once the mountain is gone they are going to put a koala enclosure within the ride's footprint.

its sad that the mountain is not fire safe and has to come down but also good to see some progress to a future new attraction

@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?

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.

You don't know Dreamworld very well, do you?
