Oops- i didn’t see those signs about alcohol. ?
Kinda glad those slides are gone, though, as long as they are replaced with something equivalently thrilling that eliminates all the burninating and static electricity. Highly unenjoyable.
Though I did enjoy the complete lack of upper limits on height. I’ve been THAT 6’-4” guy shamelessly accompanying my little girls down those slides when they were too scared to go on their own — with my mind full of the somewhat gruesome stories illustrating why it’s actually a bad idea to do that.

Given what everyone has said about the problems with the old slides, maybe they are just replacing them with non-metal versions?
Seems like a terrible reason to demolish them. They would often run with either no staff or they would close them off.
They frequently did it. I've been there a number of times with my kids and the slides were blocked off. Other times they have been open but with no attendant.
Hopefully a better slide will come. Those really were hard to slide down.
As for the alcohol they have long had signs here, FoF, kids areas at WCUSA and all bridges saying ABC law no alcohol... but they are usually ignored. I don't believe I've ever seen enforcement.

While it does make sense from that stand point. I also know, as bgwnut mentioned, there have been a lot of times where there isn't somebody there and the slides are open. Which is why that reasoning is very "sounds fake, but okay."
The whole ride is basically still there. You can still see pretty much the entire trough peeking out from under the mulch.
Question to @Zachary did you happen to see (during your recent flyover) if any work has started on the area of LotD that was slated for renovations?
I didn't see anything obvious, but I also really wasn't focused on anything other than Pantheon. My guess is that with the top cover in the area it would be very hard to spot much though.
I’ve looked back through all the pictures and sadly, LoD is just too buried under the tree line to really see anything from as high up as we were.
Yeah. I actually looked through @Zachary's photos hoping one had it in frame and found the same.
I posted with the hope that maybe there were some shots that didn't get published or something was seen visually that wasn't able to be photographed. It was worth a shot.
Curious to know their plans for the area.
