yeah once they started bolting lights to the track and removing the safety cowling and power bars (not to mention scrapping the monorail train), it was done.
This is the part where i'd lambast Bikash for his statements when they scrapped the other train, but the reality is they may not have had a decision at that time and now they do, so benefit of the doubt. It's a shame to see it go, but if it is truly done for, then I hope that:
The park makes every effort to remove the track and pylons around the park wherever possible and as soon as possible.
A new, modern slow-paced, family friendly attraction is investigated and procured to take advantage of the unique and picturesque location on the spit. (I'd love a modern transport attraction, but a big wheel would be just fine. The Southern Star Wheel in Docklands Melbourne is having some financial difficulties - Imagine that giant star lit up across the spit at night!
Since Flume and the castle are both done too, now would be a great opportunity to redevelop that whole mid-station precinct. Despite New Atlantis, there is a gaping (physical) hole in the park's lineup right now that needs to be addressed.
