Underground Theme Park in Romania
Salina Turda, located in Turda, Romania, is home to an underground theme park that's nestled inside one of the oldest salt mines in the world. Salina Turda is around 400-feet deep. Today, it has been transformed into an incredible underground theme park. (Business Insider)

Haha salt mine... this won't end well..

A theme park? In Transylvania? Nice try, Vlad.
daianaaaa
I’ve been there. It feels very otherworldly. 10/10 would recommend
diviusimperator
I've been there! It's really cool going through all the tunnels to get down there, but the temperature drop is real. Take a jacket.
ZiomalZParafii
I've been there. Amazing place! but I wouldn't call that a theme park. Few ping-ping tables were sure a surprise but that's all from "theme"

The theme is "If there's a blackout the monsters from pitch black are gonna kill us all"

Or possibly the rising groundwater when the water pumps fail

Joke's on you, I've never seen "The Descent"!

The whistling will echo through those halls nicely.

“Looks clear”

Salina Turda seems like a fancy way of saying salty turd
bigblindguy
Pretty much is, the place is a fucking DUMP, these photos are the best PR you could have for it, place is a deathtrap.

Cave Johnson is at it again
Zucheto
What could possibly go wrong?
LonSuder
Just add dinosaurs
Bystandr
Just bring emergency lighting, and not much. The cave its carved out of is centuries old, and it isnt an earthquake region.
RigoryMorty
Not much?
skellington01
Dude, vampires.

Dracula has found some interesting new ways to lure his victims to their ultimate doom...

As a morlock, this looks amazing.

Well, it is not only in Romania, but smack in the middle of Transylvania, so suspicious indeed.

Covid lock down has been hard on everyone. But the 1% are always going to find a way to prey on people.
Cozysockdrawer
Um hm um hm, go down into the depths of a cavern in ROMANIA...for fun. Sure, sure. I'm not falling for that again.
docneel
Turd..a?? That's interesting.
yourbassist
I see no theme. I see an amusement park.
AlxEverett
I’ve been trying to figure out the theme... salt? Being underground? Fear of death?
kalamariner
Yeah obviously they'd have a theme park in a dark cave devoid of sunlight
MeSeiden
I was there! Long story, it's super cool but much sketchier irl than in the photos
abyssfiend1
It's still a salt mine at heart :P
nobodyyouveheardof
9 out of 10 times, "but much sketchier" describes Romania perfectly.

Underground park in Transylvania? Look out for vampires!

Does that translate to “salt turds?”
Cretule
Turda mine.. sorry for the disappointment.. Turda is the city's name.
nobodyyouveheardof
Turda salt (specifically) mine. Salina means a mine for salt. Like saline solution is a solution with salt. Because Latin.
randombrain
I've been there! Neat and salty. There was a chamber you could step into that looked out over a larger cavern and there were good echoes.
belongsinamuseum
Can you lick the walls?
randombrain
You could. I licked my finger, touched the wall, tasted my finger. It was salty.

How was the air? Soothing for lungs?
bigblindguy
Nah, smelled like Turda.
randombrain
The air was salty. I didn't notice any effect on my lungs that I remember.
laiskamato
I was a very allergic and sickly child, but most of the ailments went away when travelling to the Mediterranean with me ma. Was it the salt
laiskamato
in the marine tourist locations or the sunshine (or just the D-vitamin) that was so beneficial, I'll never know. But I've kept my mind open
laiskamato
towards the salt therapy and such as an adult.
Ministellar
Hehe, Turda.
DadJokesAreAlwaysFunny
That's a shit joke...

Yeah I know, the marketing department did NOT do their research.

It’s not about marketing, it’s the city’s name

Found the kid still in middle school
HillCountryRambler
I'm 35. It's immediately what I thought. I may need to mature some.
Ministellar
I am also 35. I don't think you need to mature. You just get to an age where you stop pretending fart jokes aren't funny.
HillCountryRambler
I don't think I ever pretended fart jokes weren't funny.
Drillgorg
Gotta say I would NOT ride those boats in that black water.
castoncomment
There's probably pirates of black water there. I'm with you pal
CorporalHumungousErectus
Floating on turda
Tuskora
I have. The water is freezing cold, idk how deep though, but still... if you fall in it, you're gonna have a bad time
JustPissingAgainstTheWindYOLO
Don't even worry about it...it's only shitfull of dead souls waiting for revenge
crashmat
Would you be pulled from your boat by grey slimy tentacles and dragged down to your doom in the freezing water? I'm going to say definitely.
snailbanana
absolutely.
TickleMeFlymo
I am the Lizard Queen!
manyhellostoyoufwiend
Fucking rights!! Shits creepy as fuck yo
fineDayforWineday
I did. It's terrifying.
randombrain
I've done it!! You just go around a little salt island and back.
crasemanna
You've be
bazookasoup
Most of it isnt very deep. The extreme saturation of salt makes you float in the water if you are to fall in. The boats are super crusty tho
HomoSumHumaniAMeNihilAlienumPuto
Why not? just too creepy or is there actually a danger?
hillbillyhitler
The inferi will attack if you touch the water, don’t risk it for a hot lake pic
Oprean
The water is cold
cheekysheikhy
Salt mines often contain carcinogenic diesel particulate and chemical spills that aren’t tended to. Source: I work at a salt mine.
blainetog
Underground kelpies. Fucking nasty motherfuckers.
agermanguy
It's fucking cold
StubbornViking
Is...is that all though?
agermanguy
Like really cold
RelartOfGivia
They have a lagoon like this in th Wieliczka salt mine in Poland. There was a boat accident and a bunch of people died. Now it's roped off.
HarryFrumvrk
Seems like it would be really easy to float if you fell in.
ButteredNoodleDriver
Is that why they finally closed that off? Wonder how hard it would be to drown in ultra saturated saline... Seems like it would push you up
Luuseri
shits cold af around the year so propably panicked when dropped in and drowned
Luuseri
first thing you need to do when dropped in freezing water is to recollect your thoughts and calm yourself
ButteredNoodleDriver
As long as you're not trying to collect your thought-pennies (or grosze in this case) from the cavern bottom
UWantSumFuk
I was taught 1-10-1; 1 minute to catch your breath, about 10 minutes of useful movement, 1 hour until you pass out
RelartOfGivia
I don't know exactly. I was a kid and it made an impression on me. I know there was a large raft that capsized.
ButteredNoodleDriver
I suppose if you're trapped between the raft and the water, you're kinda fucked. Can't dive under, it's like mud
pobbitSbreaker
Yea, I see how that could ruin your day
