Was my favourite ride as a young lad, watching this brought it all back I even got fusty smell lol.

[@ianhawcock8312]

I would love to ride the goldmine again

[@paulbeesley5743]

I miss the old charm of it, all the squeaks and the music. I also loved when it went through the river caves and you could see it from the Café.

@@paulbeesley5743 as a child it really did my head when the ride passed though the cafe
To see my mother and grandma drinking coffee from the ride was somehow special

@@ianhawcock8312 Exactly its those special nostalgic moments and memories people have of the ride. I got warned it was due for a retheme and we had a rare lights on tour of the ride the year before it was rethemed and I had to record it.

Is that the same track they use for gromit ride ?

[@paulbeesley5743]

It is yes, the same track building etc.. just rethemed to fit in with Wallace.

Is that all it is.......just empty?? Even the one in Barry Island was better than that, before the fire, in fact it was quite scary.

[@paulbeesley5743]

There are no people Kath apart from the animatronics. It's not really meant to be a scary ride although when the lights are off you can see how it would for young children. This was shot with the working lights on.
