Norway News: TusenFryd 2013 - £5m dark ride

^ Totally, of it was hardware alone, possibly, but as a whole ride, it'll nowhere near be able to afford such high quality.
 
Cheeky bit of copyright infringement from Blizzard in that artwork! Pretty sure I recognise a few other arty bits in that, too.

Still, if they manage anything near that - who cares?
 
It looks like they may be reusing some of the animatronics from the original boat ride (like the snake on a stick). So that may bring some of the coast down.
 
Also, they already have a rather large cave (a cold war bomb shelter, if memory serves me correctly) to build in. No need to erect walls or a roof, no big deal with electricity, fire safety or plumbing (everything is installed already, but might need to be rerouted), no outside themeing (the pre-existing dragon head is all there is to see of the attraction from the outside).

Not saying a ride like this comes cheaply, but they already have a lot of infrastructure in place, and that might bring the cost down a lot.
