Following the accident, the Verruckt slide stood silent and decaying for over two years, a grim monument looming over the park. After immense public pressure, demolition began in late 2018. The slide was dismantled piece by piece, and its iconic pink and orange fiberglass chutes were crushed and hauled away. Today, no trace of the ride remains.
