Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know this was a compitition.

and it showed an picture of a giant shoe and something other stuff in an abandoned theme park. it seemed very interesting

Re the giant shoe, Checkout this thread, http://www.parkz.com.au/forums/index.php?s...amp;#entry56014 It is about Mt Druitts Water works and on page four there is a picture of a big boot, I think this was taken Magic Kingdom. I presume this was the one you are talking about.

i heard the word wonderland thats what got my attention

Tribute mabey. Anyway welcome aboard, what do I get for saying it second Edited October 21, 2008 by cadboy

There was a big shoe at Fantasy Glades in Port Macquarie back in the day. I'm not sure if it's still there, though.

I was contacted by Network Ten looking for assistance with this story. It was a piece looking at the demise of NSW theme parks.

So, judging by the thread on emailcash, Oneill's will be reopening in time for Christmas. Has anyone heard anymore or can confirm this news? I hope it is true, and that they do a half decent job of it, as Sydney badly needs another amusement park.

I don't know about being on the news but I can confirm there was a channel 10 film crew at WnW on Tuesday the 21st... Anyone know what it was about?

Something is re-opening ai? Well I drove past Tomteland the other day and I stopped for a seconds, to my surprise.. the slides had a lot of workers around them, not the mention what looked like they were replacing the ride sign. There also seemed to be more cars parked in the car park than what there usually is too. I thought it was nothing exciting enough to post but it may just be now.

I've been a member for ages and this is the first time I've posted. This is a great site for information on what is going on at all the theme parks and I enjoy reading what is happening. Good work everyone. On A Current Affair tonight they did a segment on Bikini's that uplift. These Bikini's were worn by models and were tested on Kamikaze at Wet N Wild. This was on Channel 9 though. I haven't seen anything on channel 10.

i hope its true, but the people on there have said all different things, so it doesn't seem like a very reliable source.. and i can't find any more information about Oneil's reopening... guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

I did see that on the news. It said that they had purchased 4 new rides to be in place and reopened before the end of the year. I can't remember the name of the park but it had the old boot in it.
