    What a great way to put the abandoned mine into good use. Looks stunning! Good job to the people who thought of this idea. Thanks National Geographic for sharing.

      I've been there 2 times already, and it's awesome. The air is so clear down there, once you come up, the air itself is so gros to breath in, because it was clear down there. You should definitely visit :)

      Azliana Lyana I disagree. I think it was a waste of space. Could do a lot more with the little space leftover on this Earth than more entertainment bs. Not to mention being 400 feet underground with roller coasters shaking I don't like it lol

      @@7ItalianStallion it not only for entertainment, it all so a treatment for people with breathing problems, that`s why you have activity`s staying there for few hour`s a day can be boring without nothing to do.
