Much of the amusement park's equipment and artifacts -- including Lionel Richie's piano used only one time during a concert at the theme park in the 80's -- was be sold to the highest bidder. Some of the items, like the park's roller coasters, do have a reserve.

I was surprised at the number of items missing. There were very few ride signs, and I understand many of the items were taken home by employees.
All of the coasters were in some state of disassembly. Most of the track of Serial Thriller was gone, but I was surprised at the number of supports still up. Most of XLR-8 is still standing but some sections of track were removed. Batman had about half of its track laying on the ground. Greezed Lightnin' was mostly in pieces and you could see where the fire had damaged the station.
