How has that location NOT been used in a James Bond movie?

I've heard of Salina Turda, are all Romainian salt mines awesome?

Such a wasted opportunity to design the mine like an ancient underground dwarven city to then use as a major tourist destination after the mine closes down or even sell as a usable and livable underground city.

Well, it is a tourist destination without the Dwarven design. It's an amusement park inside of it. (A pretty small amusement park though.)

One could fill this up with so many cheese wheels.

Walking along the catwalk at the top must be pretty wild.

Is that there mostly for maintaining the lights, or is there another function?
