Slotzilla Question

One thing I haven't figured out in reading about the new "Slotzilla" zip line: Where exactly will it be located, and will it mean the current zipline will be taken down? I really hope it replaces instead of augments the current zipline. As cool as it is, I am not a fan of how the current structure and anchors block the flow of Freemont St.
The two permanent structures will be at the same location as the old structures (which were taken down and moved closer to each other by about 40 feet each last week to allow for the new construction). The current zipline will be in operation until the new zipline becomes operational around June, as the current one is now between the two future permanent towers. A third permanent tower will be built between the Golden Gate and Vegas Club on the west side of FSE.

As the current structure will be permanently anchored 30' down into the ground, the need for those space-eating concrete anchors will not be needed. Traffic flow should be significantly enhanced along Fremont, and the structures will not look like a mishmash of piping, but instead finished buildings.
Yeah, one of the bad things about all the people who used to never set foot downtown is that it's a lot more crowded, and the zipline anchors haven't helped that.
