@Ashley Jeffery 😂 has been for a while. But as a recreational drone flyer myself, it is annoying when people do break the rules because long term, it makes things harder and stricter for where and when we can fly

Hi guys, I thought that this document deserved its own topic- it has huge historical and current information contained in its weighty pages. Have a look at the list of contents that are contained within: There are some excellent historical maps of the site- dating back to the 1800's and showing the original shoreline before it was taken over by the Dorman Long Workshops. There is for the first time that I have ever seen a map of the famed Cliff face Tunnel that was used as an air raid shelter during WW II There are condition reports on items of historical value with the park as per below: I have cherry picked a few items from within the document to illustrate what is contained within it. Its a long document but one that is packed with comprehensive information about all things Luna Park, the site, the items of historical significance and its place within the fabric of Sydney and its importance as an historical site, condition reports of the historical artworks within the park and even original plans for Coney Island and the site circa 1935. Please sift through it and enjoy the info that is contained within it- its not everyday that we have such access to so much info regarding a park that is 85 years old . This was posted on the Facebook site Lost Amusement Parks of Sydney and NSW ( a great site- feel free to join) https://www.facebook.com/groups/348435523186489 by one of the contributors there so thanks to him for finding this and bringing it to our attention. Enjoy and cheers! Luna-Park-Sydney-CMP-FINAL-December-2019.pdf

Commercial airports (including a surrounding of 2-5km plus additional clearances for approach) are do not fly zones, private helipads and airports operate under a general proviso that you use caution and don't fly near the approach, pad or runway during operating hours and that you land immediately if you see an aircraft/helicopter in the sky. While you can fly 30m above private property, 99% of the time under a recreational license you can't fly over people, crowds, large stadiums, events etc. or fly in a way that is un-safe or dangerous to those around the drone. With all of that in mind - given the amount of helicopter traffic in the broadwater and around the spit when he would've flown his drone combined with the flight paths he took it's definitely dodgy. TLDR; don't go out and buy a second hand DJI drone, fly it recklessly around a park and ruin it for everyone so you can get a hundred views on YouTube.

Jeez when did Parkz turn into a hive of activity for Karen's?

Does anyone else feel like a Slidewheel is just too much for our strict WHS? They look like a lot of fun, but I can't help but think evac's would be a nightmare am I right?

The letters are metal plates on the tower so there'd be a bit of work to go the whole hog of actually removing them considering they're behind the Giant Drop ride system/track.

About the same time some dickhead decided to start flying his drones around the parks

I mean let’s not question or knock them for doing what they should do. Probably they approved the budget for this project to do it properly and get rid of an unsightly closed ride. Getting money approved to remove other crap that should have been removed by previous bad decision makers years ago is likely harder to do.

not quite expansions (yet) They are changing the approvals so they might be able to expand. currently the approvals are for retail OR hotel OR attractions, what they want it the area to approved/zoned for development of any of those options, so if they want to add a hotel, they can. or if they want to add in a retail area and new attractions, similar to Disney Quest, or a park expansion (which they hint at) They probably will expand at some point, but not necessarily soon https://disneylandforward.com/faq

After talking to a guy on youtube called Noah Johnstone he was kind enough to make a part 2 to his drone over of leviathan, hope you guys enjoy

BGH Capital isn't a theme park operator or a property developer but they bought Village. It all comes down to whether a company can find value in the park/land in anyway that makes it worthwhile to buy it.
