Has anyone got any idea as to when Luna Park Sydney will be opening? I have heard numerous dates myself, ranging from March to late April. Can anyone offer any insight into this? :confused:

April 2, but the official opening will be on April 3 which is Saturday night.

Thanks Jaggie.

I think you will find that due to a financial situation the park may open later than expected, closer to the middle/end of April. The financial situation I am referring to is in relation to some bills not being paid, and a certain group of workers walking off the job until the bill is paid. I’m not sure what the situation is at the moment so they might be back on track, but from what I’ve heard they are approximately 2 weeks behind schedule. "The Bus is now leaving for Doughboy Opening, Tasmania"

The official opening to the public is now on the 4th of April

Yeah I spotted that in today's paper too.

Signs all over buses in Sydney with the Luna Park face saying "Release your Lunatic - Luna Park Sydney reopens April 4"

I will be going to Luna Park Sydney towards the end of the year for Work Experience at my school. Should be some fun.

If Work Experience at Luna Park is going to be anything like Work Experience at Wonderland, I wouldn't bother Jaggie. You'll be bored out of your bloody brain.

Well I've spoken to the girl on the phone so has my mum and she told me that it will intrest me alot, if i like theme parks and rides, alot more interactive type of work experience than other attractions have offered. We will see how it goes, it's only a 4 day period.

At least i will have that nice harbour view and smell all day in the sun......

How old do you have to be before you can do work experance becuse it sounds good but I'm probaly to young.

Our school does it in year 10 (im heading off to a civil engineering/surveying firm). I assume the minimum age for work experience is 14.75 years old, the minimum job age.

Work Experience programs are generally run in both Years 9 and 10. Work Placement programs also exist in senior years, but usually in conjunction with TAFE courses or similar. I'm sure you'll most likely enjoy it. I presume they'll have a better program in place than Wonderland did, if you could even say they had such.

What sort of stuff did the people do at WL, did you get to push any buttons on the ride (I remember being at SW once and the guy let me pull the levers on the tobbogan slide to release the riders down) or is it just a sit and watch affair or pointless jobs like lining bins, watering plants etc.

Students at Wonderland stood around at games, stood around at the shows or sat around in the office. Most likely not the fun stuff they had planned on before they registered. There is no way in hell you'd press any buttons. The operator at Sea World would no doubt not still be there if someone found out what he let you do without the appropriate training. Imagine if someone was injured or worse during that cycle or ride, and it came out that he had let you press buttons or leavers or whatever. Lawsuit city! I'm not saying it's your fault for agreeing to press buttons, most people would, but the operator would be reefed up the arse and I'd throw the bastard in gaol if I was a judge in that Coronial Inquiry.
