Yep was there this morning. Took these.

God job DW not leaving it there to rust away.

Do you think they'll bring in a big crane to remove the vertical part, or leave it because it's less noticeable?

I think they will leave the track directly fixed too the tower because there’s not really a need to. Great to see they have already begun removing it as they said they would around this time

Haha, DW trying to protect their shitty fence.

It would be nice if they did remove the track from the entire tower, but for money reasons, I can’t see them doing so at this stage 

I believe the contract has already been sorted for the removal of the tracks on the tower when the big cranes come in for the new coaster. GD will be down for a month for maintenance while they remove the tracks.

You’ve only given them 1 day to take the whole track down now that actual demolition has begun.

It was a prediction/thought, not saying it should be done already

As I've learned only too well this past week, at this time an order for something guarantees nothing at this point. All bets are off!

Question! With Dreamworld now closed, would they look at using this time to dismantle the rest of the TOT and maybe the Log Ride?

Unless it was already paid for and locked in, no.

if the park is closed for 6 months it will be cheaper to bulldoze the entire place in one go than in stages.... 

If the park is to get bulldozed I'll take the cassowary.

Pretty sure they’ll be feeding the other animals to the crocodiles to cut costs

F^&K!!!!!!!!!!   Well at least the handbrake will be happy she won’t be waking up to a cassowary in the bedroom.

Farewell old friend.

Coasters can't be friends 😢

Seems more of the ToT track is getting removed

Good to see their getting back to work now that vaccines are rolling out

I wonder if they’ve now removed those sections of track to allow for the re-routing of the train line? If that’s the case, that means the Rocky hollow station might be no more. Leaving Main Street station, Billabong station and Corroboree station. If we do loose rocky hollow station, I don’t think it’s a major loss because it’s pretty close to Main Street station anyways
