  1. I know that this might be a bit off topic compared to the last few posts, but i guess it is relevant to this enormous thread's title! I have noticed the last few times that i have been driving up Walgrove rd that the demolishon crew have left one building standing. It is situated up around the back of LG and i can only ever get a clear view for a second (at 70kmh that is) Does anybody know what this building is? For all i know it could be a toilet, but between that or some mains point (eg power, water, gas) i cant think of why they left it there.
  2. Hehe, Being a "raving shirt lifter" i think this is all funny! Everyone is so politically correct these days!
  3. After living in Melbourne for the six months this year, i would have to say Sydney or Goldcoast. Melbourne is a great place to visit, boring place to live. Unlike the other two where any night people are out and spending cash every night of the week with high tourist numbers. Bar certain parts of the city on saturday nights, its a ghost town most of the week. The only time you see people is at a AFL match or at Crown. (and i lived in Fitzroy st St Kilda) For something like that you have to rely on the high numbers of overseas tourists which they dont get, People go to the Gold coast from all over the world because of the beaches and holiday atmosphere. Tourists go to Sydney for all the icons, the harbour and the electric atmosphere! Melbourne has a few discount shopping strips (Bridge rd, Smith st, Chadstone) and trams. The park would have to placed where the people are, and where the weather is decent all year round. I love cold and snow, but Melbourne is bitterly cold in winter, and rains a heap!
  4. It had not sat there the whole time, one weekday morning around march when i was on the way to work i saw SP running. I would say weeks before they cut the power off. (well i assume after being stuck in melbourne for six months) so it was not that long since it last run, and being mainly electrical components it would run no problem. Plus if it was scrap they would have just cut the thing down, instead of dissassembling it with a crane carefully.
  5. ok i might have missed a post in the last million on this thread ...but do we know where the rides are going?
  6. just a little bit of news, zodiac now has the western arm in the air, stripped of all its gondolas. Sad to see! Whilst Bush Beast is totally levelled with them just putting everything into big piles and from what i can tell, dumping it in the carpark
  7. drove past today and saw the carnage! Not good at all. Notcied that they were working to pull down the station around lunch time, guess they just wanted to get the dangerous part of the demolishon done, and now working at the clean up
  8. i noticed that too the other day and sadly when i took a closer look up Wonderland drive, i didnt like the look of the big bulldozers sitting in the carpark
  9. Hey i would hate to break it to guys, but living just around the corner from Luna Park Melbourne, i believe that Sydney walks all over it! It would have to be the most unfun fun park i have ever been to. Metropolis (the wild mouse) is constantly closed, The Scenic Railway (there big dipper) is in great shape, but being built in 1912 it breaks down a few times a day and stalls (which is quite funny to see all the staff up on the track pushing it along, with the guy who drives the train screaming faster!) The park is tiny being limited inside the track of the coaster so i cant see it changing that much. What makes Sydney i would have to say is the Harbour backdrop, openess, and Coney island with Crystal palace. They make the place really appealling. Lastly Sydney has a happy face! melbournes is just down right scary! Just like Bart in the Simpsons...."Cant sleep, clown will eat me" Must be what goes through every childs head!
  10. Sorry to say but a company is not there to be ethical or reasonable, they are there to make money, and as much of it as they can. By what you said that Sunway was not doing well in there home parks, you look after your core business first, even if that means selling your offshore investments to maximise profit and maybe inject some more money back into your core business. I know this well by moving to Melbourne 4 months ago, to find out now that im needed back in sydney. Now that is annoying! Just hate the fact that the office is in Glendenning so ill have to drive past Wonderland on a daily basis again and see it getting torn down!
  11. Why is it that they went in and demolished SRR so quickly, there were so many useable parts on there from pneumatic rams to pumps etc. But on that note, when you are talking millions of dollars of land, few hundred or thousand means nothing!
  12. hehe oh dear that is terrible Bus....
  13. Yeah i know but i just got off that vomitron thing! should have watched where i was going!
  14. i just love that the tip basically backs onto the back of Prospect Reservoir. Gives me higher confidence in Sydney Water, there has to be some sort of ground water movement
