Here is a link to the Lipman website and specifically the Luna Park upgrade. https://lipman.com.au/project/luna-park-sydney-upgrade/ There is not a lot of info on the page but there is some new info and some clarification that can be gleaned. Firstly, the value of works that Lipman are actioning over the total contract are worth $8.35 million. Secondly, there is a new , never before seen graphic, showing the plans for the Gerstlauer family shuttle coaster. Unfortunately, no name for this attraction can be seen attributed as yet .Around the Gerstlauer Shuttle coaster, several other attractions are clearly defined and can be seen clearly named, including The Balloon ride situated in the middle of the overbanked turn of the family coaster will be called Cloud 9 The little kiddie coaster has the great name of the Little Nipper. The kids Ferris Wheel attraction will be called Bug, hinting as to the theme and perhaps the carriages of the ride. The swinging Zamperla Discovery is confirmed as being named Sledgehammer. The kiddies drop tower is to be called Loopy Lighthouse The info on the other graphic also conveys that the first ride containers are due in mid march, as Lipmans move onto the site and prepare the ground in earnest for the construction. Lastly, as we know, the delivery of the project will be delivered in 2 stages. The first will be completed by the end of June and the final stage is to deliver that of the Big Dipper 3.0 opening by end of December 2021. Lipman will also be constructing the Big Dipper as well. Now whether or not the names for these attractions stay as they are reported here is open to speculation, but its a fair bet that this will be close to the final and confirmed names for the attractions shown. Cannnot wait to see the building progress and reach vertical stages. Very exciting times!

Fantastic pics- just look at that first drop!! Oh my!!

Hi there all! I wanna give you all a major update on the construction. First, temporary fencing has been put up to allow the staff to enter, and to put the containers in! The first ones are being brought into the site as I speak! So it doesn't seem like it'll be at Lavender Green. They regularly put up and take down the shelter there. And also Maloney's Corner now is a flat piece of concrete that has acne. The last bits are being digged up as I speak. There is also a container there as well. It seems like it's carrying some sort of electrical items. I got a Ferry to catch, so there will be more information soon! In the meantime, look at the photos. Next update will be whenever I get there! P.S You gotta zoom in to find the containers on the Midway!

Yeah sorry man that's my bad, I should have read through it a bit more before saying that If admin could delete my last 2 posts on this forum it would be appreciated

Yea. I certainly did. Have another read! . 👍 Also, from where did you draw the conclusion of the park getting a Kanga bounce? All the new rides had been accounted for from the renderings from the park.

Sorry to add on but im not 100% sure if anyone pointed this out but

Anyone else think the kiddie ferris wheel should not be called just "BUG" if that turns out to be its official name, Because i just feel like they could do better on a name for that Also possibly a Zamperla kanga bounce is going into the area left of the Loopy lighthouse?

damn beating me to it 😂

Bit of further info for the board members who are interested. The building firm who are doing the major works at Luna Park Sydney are Lipmans. Lipmans also were the main firm used in the construction of Wet 'N'Wild Sydney so they certainly have former experience. The work on the site will start in earnest from today ( Monday the 1st February). Luna Park are also setting up time lapse cameras on the construction site and are planning on sharing new footage monthly. Onwards and upwards!!

Transfer track for the Superman train I believe. Allows the carriages to be removed from the building.

Something Queensland Rail and Movie World have in common.
