Sad times, went there in school 4-5 times, the place was awesome, too bad they neglected it and now they’re decommissioning it

Don’t understand how they cant repair it. Looks to me it is cables and metal that is having the issues.

I thought most of the expensive sensitive electronics are not in the part that is having the problem is it?

But if they do have to tear it down HOPEFULLY they will build a new one in its place.
