Hi All,
Any one remember the tunnel on the Scenic Railway?. It was take down in 1980 by John Husband and never put back, Would be great if it was put back again.

As far as I know the tunnel was removed due to safety reasons, ie passengers putting arms and legs out of train in the tunnel and being dark was difficult to spot or prevent, so the easiest option was to have it removed.

Would be nice to have it back with possibly some strobe lighting - smoke machine, but as the rides future is still fairly uncertain we cant really make any plans regarding that, maybe sometime in the future, but none of us know at the moment.
