  1. I know that it would go for this new expansion. But I didn't know it's gonna close tomorrow! When I was there just 2 weeks ago. I went on it and everything was fine!
  2. It's that the person who I was quoting has the username, BringADecentParkToSydney.
  3. I'm trying to say that LPM needs a makeover like this! I think everyone can agree on this. And also it's a bit difficult to read them all at this time. It's very hard for me to slow down with something like this. It's just impossible to calm down, even when I'm trying to calm down! Yes. They will be redoing the fascade to Dodgem City. Instead of the current neon sign for Tumble Bug. They will be painting it to an Arabian theme. Matching with the Big Dipper entrance. And another question. Wonderland had 3 roller coasters and LPS will now have 4 roller coasters and over 20 rides. Is there now a decent park in Sydney now in your opinion?
  4. Hold on... You volunteer at the Sydney Tramway Musuem? That's amazing! Thank you for all that you, and your mates at the Tramway Museum for your hard work and all that you do for the trams! Would you happen to know David (who's another volunteer at the Tramway Museum)? If you do, tell him that I say hi and that I will forever be grateful for his help when I was extremely upset one time there. From Matthew. Now for everyone else. In the images that we've seen so far. I can already identify some rides that will come to Luna Park as part of 'Luna Land' First is the world class roller coaster that will be named 'Big Dipper'. After the other 2 Big Dipper's that have been in that area. The ride will have a maximum speed of 72kmh. 2 inversions. And 3 moments of Airtime. 7 people can get on at a time as well. It will also be breaking numerous records as well. Next, there is a shuttle coaster which they are calling an "anchor coaster" .It will have a helix, and that's it. Good enough for me, NEXT! There is also a junior coaster that seems to be in a similar alignment to Silly Serpent in LPM as well. It seems like it will be themed to an aquatic theme. And there is a mini drop tower like in LPM. I hope LPM is stage 2 for this project. They need something like this. Also there will a ride called 'Shockwave'. It will be a Gyro Swing ride which will be coloured in a blueish green. DON'T CRY ABOUT IT FOR GOODNESS SAKES! Oh, there's also gonna be a mini ferries wheel as well. I don't think it will be whirly wheel as it looks very different to the current one. It seems like it will be themed to an aquatic theme too. There's also a balloon ride, similar to the one that used to be at Wonderland. But a teeny bit smaller than last time. And there seems to be another ride below the green shelter as well. I can see some reds, yellows, and blues which could indicate that a ride could be there. And we all live in a yellow submarine could be a new ride as well? I know it's unlikely, but it's 2020. We can never know! Luna Park has said that there will be 6 children's rides at the park. The 3 new roller coasters. And the new thrill ride. That's 10.... Where's the math's gone? And I've only been able to find 3 or 4, maybe even 5 out of the 6 new rides. If anybody has more information about this. Please let us know!
  5. I can't! I'm having a literal heart attack in my sleep! SOMEONE CALL THE DREAMALANCE NOW!!! Oh..... they're in Dreamworld. They're gonna take 12 hours via the XPT and Gold Coaster as well! And the border's shut!
  6. I don't think is as visually invasive as the 1995 Big Dipper. And I don't think they're going to have flashing lights on there. But noise will be a certain problem. But it's going to go ahead anyways, no matter what the neighbors think. The NSW Government seems they really want to make sure this happens and stays here. This will certainly be the end of the Spider, at least in Luna Park. I'll be making a video about this topic and gonna try to head on over to Luna Park soon.
  7. When I was there on Saturday and Rockin Tug was being operated by Luna Park staff there. This could be a sign that it's now owned by Luna Park. I'll ask someone when I next go there. On Saturday. There was Power Surge where Moon Ranger used to be. And Roundup where Mystery Manor used to be. But this Rockin Tug is different to the one from Joylands. Joylands has one with a knock off version of The Little Mermaid. While the one at Luna Park has a Zamperla logo and has Popyeye on it.
  8. Due to inclement weather, this event has been postponed. Clearly someone thinks this is a joke..... Good on ya mate! Oooh..... 2 people now? You gotta give me some time! There.... Now we can keep going!
  9. Rockin Tug is currently being borrowed from Joyrides. It is only a TEMPORAILY RIDE! There's been 2 Rockin Tugs since the reopening of Luna Park. 1 between July to September. Then another from September to today. For Luna Park to all of a sudden go "Joylands, were never gonna give your ride back. We love your little copyright free little mermaid! Goodbye!" would be highly unethical. When the next time that Spider goes under maintenance. That will most likely be the end of the Spider. Luckily I've been able to get on Spider now. Magic Castle was replaced by Crazy Cars (from Joylands once again) around the end of 2019. Does anybody need more information???
  10. Yes, that is Mach 5. I checked the same page. But when you actually look at the map. Mach 5 isn't there. It's clearly Wet'N'Wild just pretending that Mach 5 is Mammoth Falls, because they look so similar. In case if anybody doesn't know (there will be someone). The red circle is where Mach 5 used to be. And can no longer be seen on the map. And Mammoth Falls is the one on the blue circle.
  11. Luna Park Sydney closed down in 1996 due to poor attendance. This was because of the restrictions of the operating hours on the Big Dipper and the Park. The residents in the apartments above Luna Park sued the park due to noise, height, and light problems. The courts ruled in favour of the residents. And so restrictions were put in to reduce the noise and lighting at the park. Sydney had quite adverse weather for the park. And also residents (especially from Western Sydney) would just go to Wonderland instead. Nowadays, any ride at the park must not exceed 40 meters in the park, no strobe lighting is allowed, a development application must be made before a ride can be built, and Luna Park does not now build big roller coasters in the park. Something like a Eurofighter Coaster could be put in, but that’s as far as they can go. And even that would be a struggle!
  12. Goodbye Luna Park! Like making mistakes again? Here comes a new Trade Center for Sydney! But even if you were serious, even with this new space. There is just not enough room to put it in. And also it would still hurt (I don’t know if it hurts. Everyone tells me it is). And also there just isn’t enough money that Luna Park has right now to get the ride here either. And Sidewinder only has a few years left. Even if the new renovation that has happened. If Dreamworld didn’t do the renovation. They would of most likely sent it overseas, or scraped it. And even worse, you would be repeating mistakes again! (Just a joke, please don’t hurt me)
  13. Sorry, I'm not the best of recognizing jokes or sarcasm. Never has been, properly never will.
  14. I'm trying to say that people have a opportunity now to ask, what is next? People are allowed to think about what rides they want to see at Luna Park. It might be even helpful so that the management at Luna Park know what people would like to see. I believe at this time. It is not worth it to buy new rides at this time due to the pandemic. I think these rides have gone is because it is too expensive to keep maintaining them for any longer. I think that if the Spider breaks down again, it will be the end of the Spider. And that would be the end of the HUSS era for Luna Park Sydney. After the pandemic (especially when big venues happen more often) (and no COVID Safe regulations). Then we should start getting permeant rides in. I think people would love most is a permeant version of Pirates Revenge and Mystery Manor. And a roller coaster of some sort. I would like to see for the first ride (to replace the Moon Ranger) to be a Mega Disk'O themed and named to the old Whirler Ride. And then there are numerous options after that. Maybe a Eurofighter? I don't know, there are too many options.
  15. That's what they will do. But we don't know what rides it will be. This means speculation time! But you also have to recognize that most people who go to a theme park aren't thrill junkies going bananas. There needs to be enough rides for thrill seekers and the squeamish (me) at the same time. And if me (as a adolescent) is/was too scared to go on Hair Raiser, Wild Mouse, and Moon Ranger. They've done a good job.
  16. 666, the devil's number. Eh, it's too late. I made it go to 667.
  17. Please don't start a fight. Is it because your back on now @AlexB? I don't want to have a sneak peak of Monday's episode of The Real Housemates of Theme Park Enthusiasts! PLEASE, NO SPOLIERS FOR GOODNESS SAKES!
  18. If everyone is all so worrisome about them doing a backlot tour to Wet N Wild. Maybe instead having a people-mover system like in Disney World? And having it stop at the entrance to Wet N Wild, Australian Outback Spectacular, Topgolf, and Movie World?
