    GoBoi, Its not Magic Kingdom im taking about its an older park that vanished in the 80's...the shoe was like the one at Magic Kingdom but like the size of a large two level house!...Ill grab the photos this weekend and scan away...someone told me that the site is now possibly a gold course?.. I had the idea in my head for a long time now to make a documentary about the forgotten theme parks of Sydney..interviews with the original owners.. maybe try to track down old super 8 footage of the parks in operation..has anyone done a film/doco like this before? Cheers Sean

    Well, Ill tell you a true story, since we are on the topic of westies, snobs, freaks, gays, Miriam's and the lattes & mochaccinos drinkers..I use to work at a Graphic Design Studio in the North Shore the place was full with designers most were "gay"...and funny enough they were planing a visit to Wonderland Sydney, a group of about ten or so...a few of the guys grew up in Penrith, Mt Druitt, etc....so I dont think really you can stereotype people as westies, snobs, freaks, gays, Miriam's and the lattes & mochaccinos drinkers.....anymore...? plus they used the slogan "fully sic bro" and I am not kidddn! Cheers Sean.

    So why then in South-West Sydney, the police are having big issues with drive-by shootings, Murders and LA style gang crime...It would not have any links of course to do with the area being low income earners labouring in sweat shop factories all day long for the basic wage...the surrounds being gobbled up by substantial industrial areas, boredom with life..no real future job prospects?....all concrete no grass? its turning that way slooowly!..is this the future of the local youth?...I hope not.. The site should be anything else than more factories...Why then has so much media been generated about the ADI site in St Mary's with the residential, industrial proposal...

    and whats this ripoff of KLF's "the White Room"???   ZordMaker
    Ah ha...defunct band...defunct park :) see the logic both disappeared overnight!...The have now KLF have left the building... over and out!:)
    That would make a happy neighbour, wouldn't it?
    oH well lets see who will complain when crime rises because the 9,000 youth are sick of the boring "chicken plucker style factory jobs" and the local land value goes way down.... I would also prefer the sound of screaming kids having fun than the 24/7 sound of large trucks backing in and out all night long....
    Well, we're just trying to be realistic. Just like the bank managers were when Walt approached them - you know how that turned out.
    Richard Good Point!, Well just imagine if Walt gave up his dreams...Most of the residents in Sydney are a bunch of Sheep...BAAHHH Cheers Sean

    Daniel, I have a lot of family and friends in Western Sydney!.. I don't know too many "local residents" that want more factories and overgrown housing estates!...It could be a lot better than just factories and overgrown housing estate..just look at the ADI Site!! ...I dont see many locals jumping up and down wanting more housing and factories at that site, adding more factories will just add to the existing stereotypical view of the area..which most "residents" dont like..and I know the stereotypical view of the west is totally wrong...a lot of hardworking families call the west home. So dont give me this latte and muffin chat!:) Cheers Sean

    our children will have better employment opportunities through this development.
    Agree BUT, better employment opportunities??............. I know if they tried to pull this stunt anywhere else in Sydney, for example northside as a big clump of factories, the residents would go nuts...and demand blood, personally I think its an insult the way they treat the local community. Cheers Sean

    I was looking at more of a Luna Park of the west - a concept which does have possibilities. ZordMaker
    ZordMaker, I totally agree with you, it seems like that they believe the community is behind them 100% if you look at Q&A for future plans for Wonderland Sydney on your web site quote: "but we are keen to be good members of the community in the Greater West. The feeling we have, though, is overwhelming support." :mad: My question is from who...the Local Council? I would not consider this as "overwhelming support".... overwhelming support!....yeah right! what propaganda! Good Work ZordMaker!! :D
