I was in my car listening to 96.3fm 26/5/07 11am when news came on & abe saffrons son reavealed that his father did light the ghosttrain fire at lunapark on the 9/6/79 her father had a deal with harry seidler to close the park so they could build two towers on the prime real estate site plan since 1968 & she reavealed her father didnt mean to kill anyone which both had known all this time they killed innocent people that night. what really happened with guilt.Both abe & harry are now deceased & the 28th anniversary of the fire is next month. 9 people died & since then the park has opened & closed many times.....why?

lps any day.We are all (apart from myself) are complaining about the state of "LPS" in it's current condition. What you don't know is Parks such as the Coney Island, and Deno's Wonder Wheel Park are in a much worse condition. Attached are some photographs. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v413/Coa...ll/HPIM0468.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v413/Coa...ll/HPIM0474.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v413/Coa...ll/HPIM0475.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v413/Coa...ll/HPIM0476.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v413/Coa...ll/HPIM0477.jpg Now compare this to LPS. -
i worked with the ranger,spider breakdance,ufo,tumble bug tristar. at darling harbour carnival for wittingslows, the poor things are nearly 40.they dont look good at the back.The 2 Huss rides out the back aren't junk, they just are treated badly!.... they are very expensive, and nice rides! Get the Breakdance trailerised, with backdrop etc, and get them both back onto the road! would be much more successful! chris -
you, dont happen to live at milson,s point do you.Now surely those 4 posts within 4 minutes could have been rolled into one and surely you know how to turn the caps lock off or take your finger off the shift key. "The Bus is now leaving for Mandarin Caps, South Australia" -
no.. your right there mate its the worst its looked in its entire history..if i had the money or owned it i restore it with a mixture of what was there between 1935 to 1979...but its a dream.I tell you what Colin, the current Luna Park would certainly be an easier model to build. All you'd have to do is add a few conference buildings, a big warehouse/shed (Big Top), an office block, a brasserie building, a large ticket booth with a car park ramp behind it and a large flat area out behind Coney Island with a few portable pieces of junk scattered around randomly. Not nearly as fun as the old models though

YES I SURE DO.Have you got any pictures of the model? -
YES I HAVE POSTED PICS OF THE MODEL. Here are the new ones of it rebuilt oct 07I would love to see you post pictures man. That would be great.
-
NO ITS NOT THAT MODEL. THIS ONES A LOT BETTER.If I'm correct this would be the same Model seen on the LunaPark History Video. The snippets that I have seen looks amazing. It would be good if you could make it look like the original! Good on ya Screammachine -

simple, it needs more rides..in the 70,s it had 27 rides now about 8.And thank goodness for that too as not only is it a fun ride but one of the few remaining pieces of heritage significance in the park. It was originally built around 1960 in the exact spot where it stands today. Does anyone else have any other ideas for new attractions or improvements that could work well at the park? -
