Skyscraper operated for the last time around the start of the 2006 season and was standing but not operating.^[1] The following year, it was announced by Cedar Fair that Geauga Lake's ride side would permanently close on September 21, 2007, only leaving Wildwater Kingdom operating.^[2]

The ride was sold at auction in June 2008 to Ralph Plumpton of RP Motors for $12,500 and was later resold by ITAL International LLC.^[3]

The ride was eventually dismantled and removed during July 2009.^[4]
