While I am still personally pessimistic about the mountain's future I do see some possibly positive signs. Namely the above the old Smurf Mountain station which appear to be relatively new. Why cut holes in the mountain if you are about to knock it down. On the other hand the bridge between the two parts of the queue has been stripped to bare metal possibly a sign that the part of the queue attached to the mountain is going but that building itself might stay.

They were cutting holes in the mountain when they were refurbishing it.
It'd be kinda hard to take down several parts of volcano without a decent way to enter the mountain. They're demolitionists, not Houdini.
If they are removing the coaster part they could very well have to cut holes into it to gain access to disconnect parts to lift them out.
Yes I don't recall these particular holes and a quick photo search from earlier I did not show them. Which might mean they are new.
Was more pointing out that drilling holes in the mountain was something they've been doing for a while to refurb the mountain, so seeing them doesn't really mean anything towards either sides because no one knows what the hell Wack is doing...
because they're:
I have a picture of those exact holes from Preview Day, and that was before the demolition permit was approved.
Thanks for the info I was not able to make preview say and was looking at shots from last year.
I watched a NatGeo show on volcanos. Those are side vent holes. ?
I think. I was playing video poker in my tablet when it was on

It looked to me from I305 that there's now a section of coaster without mountain under it. I think they're removing the mountain first. Or certainly what they're removing from it.
I guess the chance of a new coaster relatively soon is higher if they ditch Mt. Cost Overrun. Just a necessary condition. (sigh)

^^-- between not carrying any phone or cam and the greatest visibility being from on I305, no. From the top of the brake run it was impressive, but since the glimpse was so quick, I definitely thought about it, even if only for personal inspection.
For anyone needing a visual clarification of what is happening, a buddy of mine filmed a great video. Crazy to see an icon just get torn down like this.
There is a crane over Volcano today. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a picture, too much traffic on Route 30.
