1984 World's Fair Gondola in New Orleans | What Happened To It?

In 1984, New Orleans hosted the Louisiana World Exposition, or World's Fair, which featured all kinds of attractions, rides, food, and displays. The ride most people remember though is the Gondola that crossed the Mississippi River from over 300 feet in the air. What happened to it and what is left?
