There has been a lot of pressure to abandon it for several years, and
it is widely regarded as an eyesore in Sydney. The Sydney City Council
would certainly be happy to see it gone, however, no one wants to pay

primarly a tourist amustment ride with no "transit" benefit of any
significance to Sydney.
