Big Dipper

[steve$]

When i went to Luna Park yesterday, where the entrance for the tumble bug is I saw yellow rollercoster track painted onto the walls on either side of the entrance. Is this where the big dipper used to be. I never got to ride it while at Luna Park.

Yeah thats where it used to be, Shame it had to go.

The 1995 Big Dipper track actually used to go through the top of this building at one section of the ride. The painting inside the stairwell was created this year and is like a homage to the Big Dipper. steve$ - how was your day at Luna Park? If you have the time, please give us a trip report

[steve$]

ok, I will type up a TR tomorrow

I was a little bewildered when I first saw it and then I remeberd that Big Dipper was at LPS.I think it's a nice little tribute.

[supersimpsons]

wow i went to Luna Park yesterday aswell!

[GoGoBoy]

How often do you guys go to Luna Park? Are the rides there really that re-rideable? And what made you go yesterday as opposed to today when the park was making an effort for Halloween?

[scott]

and you and I registered in the same month :eek:

[steve$]

I went to Luna Park on the saturday because it was my brothers birthday party and some of the people couldnt come on a Sunday. I would have rather gone on the sunday

[scott]

In terms of re-rideability the rides at Luna Park are fairly good,if you like Ranger then that's good because not many people decide to go on it,and it's a walk on.

[steve$]

We rode ranger about five times in a row on saturday. We could just get off and walk straight back on. And there was hardly anybody who wanted to ride it. And im typing up a trip report right now

This is a picture of the big dipper painting near where the tumble bug is

Look what i have found. A website full of pictures before Luna Parks Transformation. Here it is. You See, Luna PArk Sydneys transoformation was good and really boosted the parks life. So Stop Bitching.

[steve$]

Good Stuff, Thanks for that Paul

No Prob. As long as you don't keep complaining about how this was bett here, and this was better there, as it clearly wasn't according to the photo's on that page.

[steve$]

I wasn't really complaining about Cyclone. I think its great that we still have it, I dont know what everyone is going on about when they say the ride is so rough because it really is nice to have any coaster in australia of that calibre, and dreamworld wouldn't seem right without Cyclone
