I really hope NCC does something more that what they already have with the Victoria Island Timber Slide.





Throw away the iron trough (why it's even still there?), let the water flow, open it up for the public.

Find a partner in one of the local rafting companies and have them maintain and manage it and run their rafts down the slide. This could be a major tourist attraction for next to no cost.

Repurpose one of the abandoned buildings on the Island for the Timber Trade History Museum. So much history there and such a unique and fitting thing.

I didn't even know that Royals came to visit and rode the slide in the 18xx.

Anybody have any more photos from here?
