The future of the Sea World monorail remains unclear after the carriages were removed from the Gold Coast theme park this week.
The $3 million ride opened in 1986 and was the first monorail to be built in Australia.
The popular amusement had been running on a 2 kilometre circuit between the theme park's entrance and the Sea World Resort.
A Sea World spokesperson said the monorail was closed to the public due to its proximity to the new Leviathan Wooden Coaster, which is under construction.
The timber ride is due to open to the public on September 3, but it is unclear whether the monorail will reopen.
A spokesperson for the Village Roadshow Theme Parks said they had no update on the monorail's future.
The carriages were removed by Adrian's Destruction Services this week and a spokesperson said they would be destroyed and not onsold.
The mothballing of the theme park ride means the Gold Coast no longer has an operating monorail, with the Broadbeach system closing in 2017.
The Broadbeach monorail opened in 1989 and ferried passengers between the Oasis Shopping Centre and Jupiters Casino.
The carriages have been stored in an Arundel trucking yard since the monorail was decommissioned five years ago.
They were recently advertised for sale for between $2,000 and $4,000 for each carriage.
One potential buyer told the owner they were interested in converting the carriages into holiday accommodation.
