Dreamworld has begun tearing down the Thunder River Rapids ride nearly 18 months after it malfunctioned and killed four people.
Kate Goodchild, Roozi Araghi, Luke Dorsett and Cindy Low died at the Gold Coast theme park in 2016 after a raft they were riding in collided with another.
Two of the victims were crushed to death, while the other two drowned in the water below.
Demolition crews have now moved in on the site – which is hidden behind a 2m metal fence, The Courier Mail reported.

Though it is unclear what will replace the ride, a Dreamworld spokesman said there were no plans in place to build a memorial for the victims.
‘No decision has been made on future plans for the… site. Our hearts and thoughts remain with the families,’ he told the paper.
The families of the victims are reportedly yet to agree on what sort of memorial – if any – should be built on the site.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Dreamworld for comment.

Dreamworld was beset with issues following the tragedy, with profits plummeting despite slashed ticket prices and extended opening hours.
The theme park also had issues with its rollercoasters stopping mid-ride.
In January last year – just a month after the park reopened following the four deaths – one of the rides shut down, leaving park guests dangling 119m above ground.
It was the first day the ride itself had been re-opened after the Thunder River Rapids horror.

In March, six terrified thrill-seekers were rescued from the Buzzsaw ride after they were left suspended high up in the air for half an hour.
Twelve people had to be freed from the same ride in April after a safety sensor was triggered, bringing the ride to a halt.
Dreamworld’s parent company, Ardent Leisure, announced the theme park experienced a $62 million loss for the financial year that ended in June, 2017.
The company said the theme park lost $24million in the six months to December, though revenue and attendance figures climbed dramatically from the previous year.
