It's an historical tribute to the men who broke their backs and were severely injured doing the incredibly hard work. I'm sure they would be very honoured about the kind gesture to keep the damned thing up.

Can anyone expand on that?

Also, is Magna still going or is it just a beer festival venue now? Seems a long time ago but we were there on or close to opening day when there were queues to get in (around Easter 2003?).
