In some parts it used to have pieces of some dismantled rides and it also has the check in buildings for employees and it's where they do all of their hiring basically stuff like that.

They used to have the Power Dive , pieces of Shockwave, and some of the bird cages form Sky Whirl. I believe that's all they had back there.
Last I saw this was the beginning of last year.

The only ride currently stored in the employee lot is Power Dive. Everything else has been removed.
YOU ARE A FAILURE AT LIFE!

I agree with you Coaster Alex Power Dive was one of my favorite rides.

Power DIve was removed due to roughness. I don't see how (barring an unforseen refurbishment) they could put it back up. Besides, It didn't really thrill me anyway. Upside Down. Wow

Who ever decided to have the price for shockwave so high that no parks would take it is crazy! And im sure by the time they wanted it, it was all rusty!

Yes, some park almost bought Shockwave, but they backed down for some reason, probably too much. So SFGAm scrapped it since it sat there for so long that it got ruined, somewhat.

Just to CoasterAlex, don't double post.
As for you, S:UF in SFOG replaced Viper, a Schwarzkopf Shuttle Loop originally known as Tidal Wave at SfGAm. That was removed for Batman. Our S:UF replaced Shockwave, a one time record holder for height, inversions, and I believe speed. So yeah, two Supermans replaced two SFGAm rollercoasters.

Power Dive is a inverting swinging ship, basically River Rocker but it swings all the way around
I'd rather be riding the Voyage

I think it was either an Intamin or Chance Inverter.
