I don't think Universal is of the state of mind to be reselling an old product, in this case, two roller coasters. They will probably be melted down and become the chassis of your next new car.

It was so depressing yesterday when I stopped by the Speedway behind Universal.

I wasn’t a fan of DC at all when I rode it last year, but seeing it get demolished is quite a sad sight.

It's sad to know that both coasters will soon be reduced to this:

These photos provide an interesting and sad contrast to the grainy ‘90s construction images of the ride looking in a similar state of semi-completeness.

What a D-bag. "I love my job can you say the same" is the adult equivalent to neener neener neener with a thumb on your nose and wiggling your fingers.
