I have never been to Adventureland but have heard the Dragon was a really bad coaster. Hopefully it's replacement will be a better ride.

The last picture makes me think of the movie Poltergeist-  “You removed the coaster but you left the loops!  Why?  Why?”

You can see the lift hill is still standing in one of the pictures too.  SkyHigh Coasters is doing the demo of Dragon and the install of Dragon Slayer.  Maybe they will finish taking Dragon down once Dragon Slayer is complete.
