  1. Hi there all! I want to give you all a... interesting update to the construction. First, lots of signs for Lipman have been created around the park. Second, some trees that have been cut down and rubble from the digging have been piled up into a skip bin at Maloney's Corner. Third, a digital closed and countdown sign have been added to the Face. Fourth, parts of the platform outside of Coney Island have been torn down. And Fifth and most interesting. You can see a man in a cherry picker in one of the photos. Just after I took it, he said. "OI, OI, OI! DON'T TAKE PHOTOS! LET ME TAKE ONE OF YOU!" And then poked the middle finger at me. And then he said, "**** YOU FOR TAKING PHOTOS! **** YOU, **** YOU, **** YOU!" And continued pointing the middle finger. I was frozen, then started crying. And when I tried to go back. He kept doing it and started to look like he was about to become physical. It's even more of a problem because people like him cause me to have flashbacks from bullies who were much, much, much worse than him. But they still did that as well. THIS GUY IS NOT A LPS STAFF MEMBER! He works with Lipman. And lots of Tradies do act like this. Not all of them. But some of them. Luckily, thanks to Billy, Natillie, and a nice Truck Driver. They were able to help me and deal with the situation. And they've reassured me that it's fine to continue these construction updates. So I'm very thankful to the LPS Staff. Kanga Bounce seems like a good idea for a ride in the future actually! hmm... kanga goes boing boing... (repeat infinite times) Next update (hopefully not so dramatic) will be there when I get there. (Coasterlife, weekdays rule for me. weekends are your weekdays for me. HA!)

  4. If they keep the work speed going like it has the past few days 1-2 months sounds pretty realistic

  7. The big top service door is open. Most likely vehicle storage as maybe a nice alternative to store coaster parts. The action will ramp up within a month. Can't wait to see the changes.

  8. 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!

  9. 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!!

  10. Drove past on way home, sx360 was running, couldn’t tell if people were riding it or it was in being tested but it’s great to finally see it running at last. Hopefully they will announce something soon as well as the spinning coaster

  11. Also Gold Coast them parks said in a video released like a hour later that vertical should start within 1-2 months but take that with a grain of salt though
