Rides at Darling Harbour

[grifter]

Can anyone remember when they used to have rides down at Darling Harbour where Cockle Bay wharf is now? Did it have a park name or was it just a collection of random carnival rides?

Pretty much just a random collection of rides... there was a fairly permanent "Australian Supermaze" which was more of an exercise in colorbond fencing than anything really amazing. There was the standard carny rollercoaster there for a while as well as a few other bits of Easter Show style rides, but everything came and went seasonally and it was never hugely popular.

thanks, i remember they even sold showbags - a Hulk Hogan WWF one comes to mind. They also had one of those 'loopers' that every carnival seemed to have at that time.

I remember but never went on any of them. Now that you brought it up, i kind of miss them because some of them were better than what ended up at Luna Park.

anyone find some pictures of the set up?
