Australia could definitely use more parks, but this is iconic and historic, whatever that brings.
The park at the 0.29 mark is, in fact, Luna Park, Adelaide. However, it was pretty much the same park that was dismantled and rebuilt in Sydney.
“Sydney deserves better...”
*Wonderland rolls in its grave*
Maybe a Wonderland Revamp sometime? Hopefully… 🥺
Yeah, Luna Park’s history goes so deep that it’s even involved in corruption! The ghost train fire was arson and the children who were victims of the fire WERE MURDERED. The YT channel Australia Crime covered the ghost train fire in great detail and it was devastating 😢
Yes Sydney used to have an amusement park called Australia’s wonderland. It was very sad when it closed. I did however get stuck on a broken down roller coaster there and we had to get winched down. Was rather scary.
What’s it like being stuck
My family stayed at a hotel directly across from the park about 20 years ago. Sadly, at that time, the entire park was SBNO. The hotel staff told us the park frequently closed down due to low attendance, noise complaints from neighbors (bs since the park was there well before any developments), and the bad feelings from the fire (it had about 20 years before I went so most people remembered it fully). I’ve checked in on the park every so often and it seems to be doing well. Although the neighbors are as evil as ever about “noise”. Why move that close to an amusement park if noise is a problem for you?!? Anyways glad to here they put tons of $$$ into it because it’s an awesome, historic, easily accessible park. It deserves the best.
I've always been confused why you would move next to an amusement park if you're going to complain about noise. Like...what did you expect??
That’s like when people move to a house next to a golf course and then complain about balls in their yard 🤦♂️
@@CoasterStudiosliterally!!!!!
@@CoasterStudios facts!
What’s SNBO? There’s like 40 million acronyms for virtually everything, it’s ridiculous. Just write the words out 🙄
the ghost train has a documentary and honestly its very very sad. in 1979 multiple families lost their children and one women lost her two sons and her husband. the fire was arson planned arson attack. The police were so corrupt that to this day its still “electrical fault” as the cause and no real justice has been served to the families that lost their kids and husband.
We're lucky this place survived, because Sydney could of very easily ended up having no amusement park at all. The fact that it's had a major upgrade is great. A real step up over the Melbourne counterpart. Overall I agree that Sydney and Melbourne are both so starved for coasters. It's really sad. Thinking about how we lost Wonderland is like a dagger to the heart.
It’s a world heritage site lol. Wouldn’t have died
This lark has absolutely crazy history.
I love going to larks.
There are rumours that the Ghost Train fire was intentional, possibly caused by someone hoping to buy the land. My dad told me the story of it while driving one night, I wonder if it’s true.
My dad was there the day before it
Yes they were true ! My friend! Underworld figure called Abe Saffron employed people to set fire to the ride because he couldn't get his own way with the owners! However this was 1979 ? He made a cash deal that Harbor side amusements rejected I did security here ! He jacked up & the rest is history! Rip to the 7 victims one of them Richard Carroll my girlfriends cousin!!!😢😢😢😢
g
Charmingly creepy is a great way to describe that entrance. It is memorable, though.
Those views from the boat ride you took to get there are impressive!
I love Luna Park💕my fav ride is the Big Dipper!!
That is so amazing i love it
This is so amazing i really like it
Best. Channel. Ever.
The downside of being herritage listed is that modern airconditioning systems can't be installed into Coney Island.
This park is historical i really wanna go there one day i will.
Yep, shame Australia’s Wonderland wasn’t sold as part of the package of Taft Broadcasting parks to Paramount Parks, which of course became part of Cedar Fair.
Oh, what could have been 😢.
i totally agree being an australian living in sydney we deserve better
What a beautiful city I will one day want to be here so as to enjoy the beautiful of the town
Hopefully the wild mouse is still on track for the summer opening. I went a week or two ago and there was basically nothin left of the wild mouse track left, its great to see them taking measures to ensure the coaster will be able to run for many more years without as much need for maintenance as before where hakf the time the coaster would be closed.
The one day that we had carved out to check this place out it was closed for a private event. Such a bummer since Australia is a once every 10+ years trip
Luna park is my local park and i have an annual pass. if you plan on visiting the park more than twice just get the anual pass. it saves alot
Can you do an updated video of Review of Hershey park please
2:58 yeah right.. electrical fault...
It was most likely arson.
Yep it's believed to be Arson in recent times
@@CarsNCoasters conspiracy theory
@@CarsNCoastersDo they know who started it?
Haven't identified the actual fire starter, but the theory is that a Sydney Crime boss Abe Saffron ordered a biker gang to set the fire because he wanted to get the land.@@Lucy-qz6jx
To be honest i don’t think i’d want anything more than luna park. Ik we can definitely fit more but i just don’t think i want that here? We’ve got a charming little spot that’s so olf and creepy that we can’t even get rid of it, and i think that’s much more interesting than anything else.
The big face you enter the park through is called Mr Moon
I wonder what the airtime is like on the slides
If only we still had Australia’s Wonderland. That park had so much potential and I think you would have loved it as an overall park.
We are going there
And including Wildcats Revenge
Gold Coast is the amusement Park central!
Pretty sure Sydney has enough going on without more amusement parks 😂😂
As someone who lives here, it sucks 😂
I live in Wollongong so I know a lot about it
Only 1.5h to Luna park
YOOOO
I have been there
As an Australian who lives about and hour away from Luna park Sydney. It’s not a very good theme park for our city. I’ve always had a terrible experience and it’s not because of the atmosphere or the queues, it’s because of the staff. Now I’m a bit of a chunky person and I’ve been on multiple rides where I’ve been fine in regards to my weight and fitting in the seats and weight limits (I always try to check) I went on the wild mouse and the worker said I’m “too heavy” (and emphasised the heavy) for the ride which I was taking my little cousin on. Then about a month later I went on the swinging chairs and the worker denied me entry to the ride before I made it past the queue and the reason was because I am “too fat for the ride”. I’ve sent the park multiple emails about my concerns and they’ve never responded. I’ve always been in a situation with the workers at this park and my size and never want to go back again.
So if you’re a little bit chunky. This park isn’t for you
Hi
