righty

Great Review!! Its good to get a decent discription of it all for someone like me stuck in S.A and it will be a while before i get to ride the sucker! I wish we had a park here i would take any park!!!

Wow that new one looks so ugly. sure the old one didnt look the greatest.. i think this new one looks like it will age very badly once the slides start leaking.. colours fade.. ew. its still going to be an eye sore. a whole heap of water slide tubes really dosnt fit with the area anymore.

Dazzeland was the best that adelaide ever had.. sure it was targeted at children.. it was the top 2 floors of the myer centre.. the bottom floor being mainly an arcade but also had a carousel.. water gun thing where you would shoot the water guns at things and stuff would happen.. i also remember a musical fountain.. i think that it was on this floor too.. but the top floor was where all the major rides were.. jazz junction.. the dodgems.. the giant indoor playground.. a plane ride.. helicopter ride.. a train that weeved around the top floor.. also went through a spooky tunnel (well it was for me when i was younger!) but one of the best thing about dazzeland was the themeing it was great!! the top two floors of the myer centre always seemed like a totally different place.. with people riding fish hanging from the roof.. rabbits with glowing red eyes popping their head out of the roof and freaky dark trees.. i think their faces moved.. im not to sure about that though. But realistally.. a place like dazzeland could never last in adelaide.. they started off with a token type system where a ride would cost so many tokens.. and then near when it closed i think it was like $5 or $10 for unlimited rides on any ride in a day.. they had arm bands so they could keep track of you. if only the we still had dazzle land.. some time last year they repainted the whole inside of the myer centre.. sad.. its now just painted different shades of white and all the colour is gone.. its now just another generic mall.. with the top two floors that were once dazzleland are now a gym.

Adelaide would be a great place for a themepark.. cheap land, close to cbd airport.. and i dont think a small local population would really matter for a disney park.. its all about the tourist both disney resorts in america wernt really in high pop locations where they were built.. but adelaide would never get it for lots of reasons.. its adelaide (:S), not the best weather, really bad transport system.. the local goverment wouldnt help much.. the list goes on. If you wanted to build a disney park in SA build it in the riverland! It has sunshine more days a year than the goldcoast.. land will be super cheap because of the vineyards and citrus farmers going broke and its on a major highway... but all this will never happen My vote is that queensland will most likely get it.. sydney maybe.. and melbourne never. that is if disney ever decided to build a park in australia.

Why does dreamworld need two kids areas? the parks not that big! Does this mean a wiggles themed coaster... The Wiggles:Big Red Coaster?

A big brother themed land would be a horrible idea! The theming would end up just being so tacky! What a Big Brother themed wild mouse ride that goes through "the house"?

i got my ds on thursday and im really happy with it !! i got mario 64 DS

hasnt Dreamworld already got a (insert brand name here) Cyclone that blows and sucks? and has bad airflow

so from the discussion so far... Dreamworld will expand into Egypt and have a new rollercoaster that goes through the pyramids. or are people just getting offtopic?

i had nothing better to do so i did that.. isnt it great and stuff

interesting?

Would ASIO Land be the area with all the kiddy rides in it?

I dont think there is much left from the Adelaide one as they have repainted the whole inside of the building, but last time i went to one of the upper floors just outside of myer was a dazzeland themed water fountain with instruments spurting out water but that was a couple of years ago so that might be gone now too.

nope it aint metroplis it was a wood coaster. Iam fairly sure that it was the wooden big dipper that used to be at Luna Park Sydney. yep iam sure that it was the big dipper as Luna Park Adelaide was reloacated to to the Sydney site where it is now... It was relocated because: "Despite several successful seasons, the Glenelg park was forced to close because of friction with the local residents and a local council that resisted anychanges or expansion of the Park." http://www.lunaparksydney.com/visitor_info...ark_history.pdf wow does this sound very familar or what!! I also found some info on the Adelaide Myer Centre... http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/6897/myercent.html here are some quotes: "Commencing a whistle stop tour from the Rundle Street level of the centre, there are four levels for shopping and above that, 'Dazzeland', a fully themed entertainment park set on the top two levels . Below is the terrace level, which is mainly eating establishments with some service and speciality shops. Below that there are four levels of underground carparking, which provide quick and easy, albeit expensive, automobile access to the Myer Centre, also the Myer department store, via lifts. The Myer Centre is serviced by two pairs of glass covered lifts which connect all levels staffed by Information Officers there to help you with any questions regarding directions to shops and services, and four pairs of moving stairways which also services all levels, but so designed as to shepherd their patrons past many shops to reach connecting stairways, and effectively break horizontal space and add interest." "This was clearly in evidence at the Myer Centre, starting at the London Tavern in the basement, throughout to Dazzeland at the top levels. High speed glass lifts sweep the visitors up to the upper levels decorated with mobiles, balloons, plastic moons paper birds and a rider on a fish. The vista experienced is of a whirligig of time space and noise and fantasy designed to disorientate The visitor is then whisked down to the basement. To find the way out can be notoriously difficult. Exits in the Myer Centre are obscure and not easy to find, this results from the goal of such centres to trap the consumer in a universe of consumption." The other bits of the article mainly concentrate on the design of the myer centre. Now for my opinion: As you can see in the past the Myer Centre was quite a special place. But in recent years Dazzeland was replaced with a Fitness Centre... the whole inside centre was repainted from nice greens, blues and yellows to a range of white colours also plastic sails where put inbetween the levels... the centre nolonger had its amazing views of the floors below. The myer centre is now just a normal inner city shopping centre... it is no longer themed.. you can no longer look up too see kids screaming and having fun as they enjoy the special place that was dazzeland.

i remember the thrill of magic mountain and dazzeland as a kid. Jazz Junction was my first rollercoaster experiance... it was a bit scay as a kid looking down those 6 or 7 odd floors all the way down to the bottom of the myer centre. Another of my favourite rides was the train that went around the area too it had a tunnel and everything. Also Dazzeland didnt just have one floor it had two with the top floor having most of the big rides and the bottom floor was full of arcade machines. I also remember the musical fountains they had up there too. Magic Mountain was no where near as nice as dazzeland with not so well themed rides and its main drawcards were the mini golf, water slides and acrade machines. Once dazzeland had closed down Magic Mountain got some of the themeing from it.. some of the stuff included rabbits poping out of hats that seemed to come out off the roof... they had red glowing eyes.... another bit of themeing that was moved over to the mountain was the guy riding the fish bike that used to hang from the roof of dazzeland... which at magic mountain became a wizard with a dodgy beared and a pointy hat. S.A still has few other parks open such as Puzzle Park at Murray Bridge and Green Hills Adventure Park at Victor Harbour. Also I belive that the rollercoaster that used to be at Adelaides Luna Park was moved to the Sydney or Melbourne Luna Park. But iam not sure about this.

maybe this person knows what a dinosuar really sounds like and it sounds exacly like the ranger Those residents are soooo stupid :mad:

hahah! My grammer good! People always complain about how bad it is!

I remember going to Dazzeland as a kid it was the best. The dodgem cars, the little helicopters and airplanes , the big pipe playground, the train and of course the the roller coaster. You could see right down to the ground floor it was great for a little kid. That ride wasnt as fun anymore when they put those shade sails in between all the floors. So you couldnt see all the way down anymore. The did this because a school kid fell off one of the escalators and died. And the area that was Dazzeland is now a fitness centre!!
