    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…

          I’m very surprised that a salt mine feels humid. Am I missing something, or shouldn’t salt absorb moisture really well? Did you by any chance ask why it was humid?

              everything is covered in a thin layer of goopy brine

              Ah, that explains the extensive use of wood and plastic. That environment would be a nightmare for anything made of steel.
