Could Sea world be getting ready to demolish the castle?

I think recycling stuff is often a false economy because you basically have to shoehorn your design around an existing layout and features and legacy engineering limitations, and that forces other parts of the design you wouldn't necessarily do otherwise.

Whereas with a clean slate you can do the most optimal solution, which can well work out cheaper.

I totally agree with that. I think reviving the Flume would be a good way to spend a few million, but I don't see it as something that should still be there in another 42 years. Ideally in 10-15 You'd want to have a proper vision for how the middle of the park works. Reopening Flume just buys you time and helps fix the immediate problems the park will face in the medium term till it can be fixed properly.

Agree there, which is what happened with Sky Voyager. It possibly would have been quicker and more beneficial for them to build a new purpose built building for the ride, rather than trying to shoehorn it into the existing cinder block building. 
 

That’s just my 2 cents I guess

It’s definitely closing now after seeing those photos 

'Definitely' ? They couldn't just have removed the signage because the film has done it's run and they're doing up new signage for the next film to arrive?

I'm not saying its true, but its a bit rich to say it's 'definitely closing' simply because signage has been removed.
