The back half of the mountain was in rough shape, but the park already completed their multi million dollar renovation of that back section.

Thanks to WorldofJohn for this shot (watermarked accordingly):
- They're being awfully nice with the supports and the track even though everything is getting cut up.
- They spent multiple millions of dollars over multiple years and we finally get a good shot of just how much "progress" KD made on refurbing the mountain.
- The more perspective shots I see of the condition of the mountain the more I believe it's just going to get imploded and cleared.
- HOLY SHIT is it in bad condition.

This is good news for me, now I'd only have to drive 5 miles to find out that it's broken!
I was there yesterday and looked at the mountain. It's rough, looks like crap in the pictures, but in person it still looks cool and amazing! Of course the coaster looks ready to take a ride on too so far, except for the fence, haha. Mostly I could see nothing where there should be track, you can't really see the ends. As to the holes in the volcano, probably just removal of anything loose or cracked.
Everyone has their bias and opinions and seem to be sticking to them regarding the mountano, which is a big reason I don't entirely trust what is predicted. CF has been stepping up their theming, why would they remove a huge theming device? but theirs are designer relic'd not a big pile of brown stucco.
As to the $250,000 ("valuation"?) they could use other companies for hauling and other later stuff, also continuing after the June 1 date.

Let's be real though. We talk about service life for rides all the time. It makes perfect sense for a scenic structure to reach the end of its service life too. And by looking at the photos and what I've seen over the years, that mountain is ready to go. It's been modified so many times by this point it would just be better to rebuild it from the ground up if they want to have a mountain there for future attractions.
With all this to-do about Volcano...I couldn't imagine what the response would be if BGW tore down LNM....
The only "bias" anyone should have is for the facts. We should be focused on what we actually know, as opposed to what we believe or want. Opinions are not useful data, no matter how emotionally they are presented.
Jesus, yes. We simply don't know and none of us are park execs. We just have to wait and see.
I think the line's trapped in the mountain somewhere.
Let's destroy the mountain to find it. /s

I don't even want to think about that. It's going to be insane. If we thought BBW was bad
I think its entire removal process belongs here as it is news. That said, down the line, this thread may end up merged with the Volcano thread.
