Salina Turda (Wikipedia page)
Salina Turda is a salt mine in the Durgău-Valea Sărată area of Turda, the second largest city in Cluj County, northwest Transylvania. Opened for tourists in 1992, the Salina Turda mine was visited by about 618,000 Romanian and foreign tourists in 2017.
There's an awesome 3 level trampoline park in an old slate mine in Wales. I think its called Bounce Below. They use an old miners train to transport you in and out of the slate mine. Been there once with a school trip!
That sounds pretty rad
I went 10 years or so ago. It was awesome.
There's also a massive zip line over the quarry, which we also did.
Wouldn't this be noisy AF with rides going and full of people??
I haven't been personally. I just learned about it and wanted to share, because it's cool looking. Maybe someone who visited can share their experience.
I looked at some vlogs on yt, and it seems noisy but nothing crazy.
Example: Some random vloggers on the ferris wheel (time stamped), gets louder when they get off the ride.
I've been down there.
You hear a constant humming, but not too loud. The amusement park is not big, and has slow rides, so maybe some kid will scream..
Salt mines are so awesome. They're usually room and pillar, so they're the closest we get to the Mines of Moria. Plus they are almost always bright white inside, unlike most metal mines.
It looks like a sci-fi research facility.
So people keep asking me: "why build a massive research facility at the bottom of a salt mine?" Well, I'll tell you: science! That's why. Those safety-obsessed, bureaucratic government types are always slowing things down. Better to move this operation indoors so we can get to work. And that's where you come in: get your assignment at the desk, and let's make history.
Cool settng. Reminds me of the Carrières de Lumière, in France
That's really freaking rad.
Down here, salt is a way of life.
I understood this reference!
Turda.
Perfect, now we can get this birth certificate filled out and go home
Would make a sick climbing gym
Man if I were there I would be tempted to try lick the walls. To see if it's salty.
That’s why we keep the walls super cold
Welcome, gentlemen, to Aperture Science!
