I remember when it changed to the Waterworks Waterboggan, it was a fun ride to say the least, and on a hot day, was wonderful to ride!! As far as it getting removed, its possible it didn't fit that 'niche' SDC was hoping for. Considering there is Lost River of the Ozarks, complete speculation though. As far as the tower goes, could it be possible for SDC to be using this for a new family coaster? I remember something being said over on sdcfans that SDC could possible see something similar to Dollywoods Firechaser Express. Could they be using this for that?
