Awesome pics Jim!! We’re starved for more, would you be able to do so and if possible hold your camera/phone above the fence or inbetween the bars to get clearer pics?? 😄😄

I have uploaded another photo that I took on Saturday, next time I will remember to take better photos with more details. But thanks for the kind feedback, sorry that the photos are not great I was just walking and took a few quickly. Anyway, here is another one.

Big dipper is looking like one of these right now.

Really? 

Can't appreciate something new for what it will deliver?.

I think it was an observation of the long wide spanning arcs, not a critique of the ride nor comparing the experience to a playground.

In other news looks like the new opening date will be on the 16th of July.

Apparently there is a announcement that  lockdown for Sydney is going to be extended tomorrow, so Luna park shouldn’t be picking a reopening date yet.

Well Here comes another opening day delay.

Another delay was bound to happen. When an estimated 70% of the Sydney population can't understand stay at home orders it was bound to happen.

The Big Dipper will be ready by the time the park opens!

Let's hope not! 😂 I think they hope to get all of big dipper fully assembled just before the 31st of August as that is when they hope to get Glenn St stairs back open, I feel that even if BD is ready to open earlier than predicted they might still wait till December until they open it to the public and give possible previews to Annual pass holders which would be a great offer for pass holders as stated in their website "Members will receive special offers that are not available to any one else like our Behind the Fun VIP Tour and the Luna Perks Fast Pass" I think if previews were to happen it would be really cool but only time can tell at this stage

They should continue to plan to reopen at the first available opportunity. Even if they have to keep postponing, sitting on their hands waiting for the govt to say 'this time we really really mean it' is not the right way to approach it - they might as well close for good if that's the outlook they want to take (which it isn't, for good reason).

I’ll post more later but the biggest elements are going up!

[Gazza]

Are these clips for strip lighting?

once again, happy to see photos but I hope this was on the way for essential services with all the covid restrictions. 

If we want the park to open (better yet Sydney) we gotta make sure we do the right thing.

I too go excercising to a completely out of the way private carpark during a stay-at-home order!

Carpark exercise is the best exercise because the lockdown police wont think to look for people there 

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

I mean, the guy was there on a regular basis pre-SAHO, so i'm happy to give the guy the benefit of the doubt that he is being sensible and is entirely within the rules on this one, rather than assuming he's doing the wrong thing. Could well be that he actually parks in that carpark on his way to essential employment...

...and that he's really fast at framing and composing photos whilst moving.

True, he could easily work in the  Harry Seidler & Associates (location of mentioned car park) building.

That's an office building, not a residential building.

And the posts mere minutes before of him driving over the Sydney Harbour Bridge are also actually about his daily commute, one that a few days ago he wasn't able to do because of the stay-at-home order according to Instagram
