Demolition is proceeding rapidly at Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. Only a few levels of the tower remain.

Sections of the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit tower are cut and lowered to where the station once stood. A demolition shear (at left) then renders it to smaller pieces (at arrow). The small pieces are then trucked to a metal recycling facility. Loaded on train car to a foundry.

Next area in the demolition of the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit tower. The second platform at top. Platform for service technicians to access the track at the peak from underneath. Also the chain run.

Photos of where Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit track was unbolted, instead of sheered or cut with a torch. A rail cut clean with a saw. As if the removed section is preserved for a use somewhere. At the Crowd Surfer section. Barcode tracking still in place!
