The Ring of Fire ride at Manly fun pier could quite well have been there, Flea. What I remember of the place was a mixture of kiddies & adults rides as well as arcade games. It was located right next to the ferry terminal. The last time I was there was in 88 with my family & we were the only ones there! Tilt was put in after they closed the fun pier & renovated the wharf, I think sometime in the early 90s. All that was left was the ferris wheel, carousel & a games arcade.

Does anyone remember the old fun pier at Manly? Remember going there as a kid in the 80's. Even then it was run down. Does anyone remember when it closed? Also can anyone verify the rumor of the octopuss ride collapsing and floating into the water and still running? Or was that one of those urban legends just like the water works razor blades story? Where have the Ashfield water slides gone to? My brother heard that all 3 slides were brittle and falling apart, so they had to tear them down. Mel.
