That's interesting. It was fun and did have a kick to it. Though it really was a carnival ride, maybe it's gotten irreparable or too expensive to maintain like you observed.

Hair Raiser, which has been closed since March and supposedly in need of a significant maintenance upgrade, has been removed from Luna Park Sydney's website. I usually wouldn't find this particularly notable, as the marketing teams who run webpages aren't likely to be the first informed of ride alterations or removals, but this is sudden and unexpected. Historically LPS' website usually just marks rides as "down for maintenance", even during long closures like Wild Mouse's, so this is setting off some alarm bells for me. I think especially the fact that Wild Mouse's page was used to provide ongoing updates of the lengthy renovation, and that was so recent... if the needed upgrades were going ahead, I would have expected a similar approach. Thoughts? Anyone been to the park lately and heard/seen anything about what's going on with it?

I think it slots nicely between Actventure and Habitat Waterford, nestled in closely with Australian Disney.

Probably should have been filmed across the road but I can understand why it wasn’t with another reality show currently being produced across the road.- 139 replies

You'd require all of production to be set in that space during the broadcasts, plus many runs of fibre and so on to get back to the OB Trucks/Suites. Would be a huge mess having that area so far away from the rest of the production lot. Plus, it would most likely require changes that would prohibit it from running during park hours... You'd spend less money putting up a temp truss roof instead of trying to use that space.- 139 replies

TBH i'm surprised they didn't utilise the Dreamworld Theatre. the video wall would easily changeover to BB styling for broadcast. (Maybe that's their wet weather plan for the future)- 139 replies

Can you feed it to us on a spoon, because other than playing Rugby for the bedford blues and a Zambrero empire spanning two countries - what else is there to find? (Just to be clear here - I'm not rubbishing the Z - just asking for more info.)

It's hard to tell what you're indicating - but taking our lead from most of your posts shitting on the park, it was a fair assumption that your post was intended to ridicule. The emoji didn't alter that.- 139 replies

2025-2026 Christmas trading hours for the Gold Coast
Aw hype replied to New display name's topic in Theme Park Discussion
Bearing in Mind this was a year ago when I was there, I remember Dreamworld and WWW shutting lines at park close, (1700+line length) and MW shutting lines to get out at park close (1800-line length). In an Ideal world both parks would be open later, but that is obviously unsustainable.- 6 replies

the launch cables seem to be installed back in place and all the tags and ribbons across the track have been removed, my guess is the major issues are sorted and testing shouldn’t be too far away.- 6 replies

it's in a "studio" so it makes sense to make use of existing rigging where possible for lighting etc. The US/european houses are like that too. It's only that living area that has the function centre ceiling exposed, the bedroom, bathroom, diary room etc are all have ceilings from what i've seen in little snapshots- 139 replies

While Australia has typically had a 'traditional' house with ceilings and the like, there are plenty of versions internationally shot on sound stages that have nothing but trussing and rigging overhead.- 139 replies

They’ve done very well with the house given the confines of the area they had to work in. Time will be the test on how well it is received and whether future seasons are ordered. One will think if they are, they won’t want to go to the efforts of pulling it all down and it may stay a permanent fixture. The decision to have an outdoor stage for the shows however was proven horrible with the weather for the entry on Saturday night…- 139 replies

From what I'm aware, Sky Voyager and SX360 ran into issues due to the changing regs around that time. Without directing anything at particular manufacturers - they may assume they are compliant with Australian regs without realising they have changed. They can provide assurance they meet the standards without becoming aware that those standards changed. At any rate, i've simply put forth a suggestion on why, based on historic examples. i'm not suggesting it as fact, nor should it be read as so. Feel free to put forth your own suggestions on why the ride has essentially sat for months.

Sea World skews younger. while the park is busy, the younger families tend to drop off earlier in the afternoon and the park is a lot quieter close to closing. Without a night event to anchor later attendance, I don't see much merit in SW operating later, and there isn't much point opening earlier if maintenance and animal services aren't ready.
