PreviousSydney's Luna Park (Visit this link)
Every Sydney resident and visitor has their own fond memories of Luna Park. This nostalgic continuum is the overriding feature of the Park's new life. Under the new development, Luna Park will retain its colourful 1930's fun park personality, including the famous main entrance Face and Towers. The key rides and amusements which give Luna Park its heart and soul will be retained and supplemented with new attractions. Features to stay include Coney Island, the Wild Mouse, Dodgem Cars, Tumblebug, Rotor, Ferris Wheel and Tango. The Big Dipper was removed in July 2001 and found a new home at Queensland's Dreamworld. A new children's ride area and playground will also be developed to the north of Coney Island. With seating, shade cover and its own café/kiosk, this will be an attractive area for young families.
Luna Park first opened in 1935 and has since become a most outstanding and recognisable feature of Sydney Harbour's northern foreshore. Located near the northern pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Face and Towers of Luna Park have become iconic to the people of Sydney, and the venue itself synonymous with fun.
The long awaited re-opening of Luna Park on the 4th of April 2004 saw a significant refurbishment, construction and renovation program that has been undertaken since its inception. Whilst retaining the fun and flavour of its amusement park history, Luna Park's facilities are being broadened to offer patrons more entertainment choice, food and beverage options, better accessibility and a wider range of functions and events.
Major features of the redevelopment include: The construction of a 2000 seat performance space (The Big Top) with two unique foyer areas
The renovation of Yarraman Crystal Palace into a five-star banqueting and function venue. The construction of a three storey Café / Dining facilities with views across Sydney Harbour. The construction of a multi-storey basement car park containing 389 parking spaces. The creation of the Popcorn Hall. The introduction of free entry into Luna Park
Upon reopening, Luna Park will undoubtedly become Sydney's premier location for a host of functions and events, including: Conferences and Exhibitions, Concerts and Musicals, Corporate Events, Circuses, Product Launches, Festivals
Meetings, Birthdays and Themed Parties
Weddings, Children's and Comedy Shows.
