Track looks like it isn't welded off so it was bought

Yeah, it does appear that it’s carefully being disassembled, so either it has sold or they are still looking for a buyer. Hopefully we will see it at another park in the future

Well it was on the market for sale so they obviously felt it was saleable. even if it hadn't been sold yet, you wouldn't just demo it because nobody had bought it yet - this is why RCDB has an 'in storage' category.

I can't imagine they'd want to do that. 

It's a bit like building a new rapids ride..

Figured I’d stop for a couple of snaps on the way back north. 
 

Top section of the galley-way and the turn into the inversion looking likely to be next removed

thanks for the pics.

Forgive my ignorance - what is a 'galley way' ?

[Gazza]

Im guessing gangway or catwalk.

That maintenance/support tower for Buzzsaw is so dramatic. Surprised to see it coming down so effortlessly

Shows it was engineered in a good way for assembly/disassembly.

The whole structure will easily come apart and down.

I dunno why I chose that extreme angle for my talking head but there you go. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Well it wasn't during covid, so it wasn't to eliminate a double chin...

[Brad2912]

About 50% done

Interestingly, Jags Journeys’s on Facebook are suggesting that Buzzsaw has been bought by a park in Australia.

If this is true and 100% legit, care to speculate on exactly where  it will be heading?

Who wants to lay some bets?

If it’s true my money is on Gumbyah World.

Dark horse? Luna Park Melbourne!! 
 

Bets are now OPEN!!

😂

Another version of 'i know something you don't know'. 

This guy's put his credibility on the line (although judging by some of his thumbnails i'm not sure how much was there to start with) - so it seems likely to be legit. It was a pretty cheap price for what it was, and it'll have an easier life at any other non-GC park so the maintenance demands might not be so burdensome.

It'll be interesting to see where it ends up if it is staying local. I'm sure it'll make some people happy.

With Aussie World slowly getting through their list of new rides they are installing, it probably rules out Aussie World.

 

Typhoon 360

Crazy Mouse

Drop Tower

Air Race

Windstarz

Star Fly

Aerobat

Master plans are fun and all, but a quarter mil for something that cost 10 is a hard deal to pass on if you've got the capital available - plans can change.

I agree though Aussie world is probably the lowest likelihood simply because it's 'just up the road'

I agree,  Aussie World has recently extended the approval for the remaining rides.

It's coming down pretty swift-like! Gonna be great having ST visible properly from the front of the park afterwards.
