Because that’s what Luna Park is…...

Luna Park (Sydney) is an amusement park situated on the gorgeous Sydney Harbour, overlooking the Harbour Bridge and the Opera House. Opened in 1935, Luna Park is an iconic part of Sydney for residents and visitors alike. From 1924 – 1932 the Luna Park site was occupied by Harbour Bridge workers. They built two large workshops and a wharf on the site to assist in the Bridge’s construction. Following the conclusion of the construction the New South Wales Government rendered the site to be used as a recreational area. The park was constructed in just over 3 months, following the hard work of 800 structural workers, 70 electricians and 35 artists, among many others! Luna Park, Sydney opened at 8.00pm on 4 October, 1935. The park was an immediate success and the admission charge was abolished after the first year! The park remained open during the war years, however, the lights were “browned out”. Luna Park became a hugely popular stomping ground for Servicemen, both American and Australian. The park closed every winter, providing the opportunity to renovate, repair and add new attractions. Unfortunately, a tragic fire in 1979 in the Ghost train ride caused Luna Park to close down completely. In the years that followed, the park changed hands a number of times, was threatened with demolishment, re-opened and closed until finally in 1990 the Government passed the Luna Park Site Act, which protected the land. A Luna Park Reserve Trust was established and took control of the park in October 1990. Major restoration of the park and all of its buildings commenced in 1992. This shot was taken using a Nikon D300, nikon 18-20mm lens and processed using Photomatix For visitors to Sydney Luna Park can be reached via a regular ferry service from Circular Quay

My “holy grail” – a stunning, fully restored, fully operation Philidelphia Toboggan Company carousel AND it’s right here in Melbourne !!! I’ve loved the PTC carousels from the very first horse I ever saw – they capture all the fiery energy of the horse (and other animals they create) and also fire the imagination of the riders with the range of fantastical steeds to choose from. If you live here, go see this stunning piece of art at Luna Park, St Kilda – go for a ride while you’re there :-D Luna Park, St Kilda foreshore – Heritage listed / Melbourne, Australia Featured: Carousel Enchantment (April 2009)

FOR A BETTER VIEWING EXPERIENCE MAKE IT LARGER Every Sydney resident and visitor has their own fond memories of Luna Park. This nostalgic continuum is the overriding feature of the Park’s new life. Under the new development, Luna Park will retain its colourful 1930’s fun park personality, including the famous main entrance Face and Towers. The key rides and amusements which give Luna Park its heart and soul will be retained and supplemented with new attractions. Features to stay include Coney Island, the Wild Mouse, Dodgem Cars, Tumblebug, Rotor, Ferris Wheel and Tango. The Big Dipper was removed in July 2001 and found a new home at Queensland’s Dreamworld. A new children’s ride area and playground will also be developed to the north of Coney Island. With seating, shade cover and its own café/kiosk, this will be an attractive area for young families. Luna Park first opened in 1935 and has since become a most outstanding and recognisable feature of Sydney Harbour’s northern foreshore. Located near the northern pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Face and Towers of Luna Park have become iconic to the people of Sydney, and the venue itself synonymous The Face that everybody recognises

Herman Phillips planned the layout of the park, Rupert Browne a scenic artist from Luna Park St Kilda gave the layout artistic imagination and Ted Hopkins made everything work – physically, mechanically and electrically. The whole Sydney site was constructed in just over 3 months and involved the employment of 800 structural workers, 70 electricians and 35 artists as well and many others. When the doors opened at 8.00pm on 4 October, 1935 it cost 6d to enter (3d for children) and 6d for most rides. The Big Dipper and Coney Island cost 9d. The Park was an instant success. After the first year, the admission charge was removed and Luna Park proudly advertised “Admission Free”. During the war years the lights of Luna Park were” browned out” and the Park became a magnet for servicemen. The Park was closed every winter and this gave an opportunity to move, overhaul and paint the rides and add new attractions. This continued until 1972. The amusement Park ran smoothly under the control of showmen from 1935 to 1970 when Ted Hopkins retired. / Luna Park 1935 / / In 1969 the lease on the park was sold to World Trade Centre Pty Ltd headed by Leon Fink. An application was made to develop the site as a trade centre consisting of multi-storey buildings designed by eminent architect, Harry Seidler. The state government refused the application and the park continued. During the 1970’s the park was altered from its original state, some older rides were demolished, and new portable rides introduced but they lacked the artistic facades that had been characteristic of the Park. The lease ran out in 1976 and operation continued on a weekly basis. The Park stopped closing for its regular winter maintenance schedules and in 1979 a tragic fire in the ghost train ride finally caused Luna Park to close down completely. Artists were involved in Luna Park from the earliest days. Rupert Browne was brought up from Luna Park Melbourne, designed the first entry face and did all the original artwork during the parks 1935 construction phase. After the park opened Arthur Barton became the resident artist until 1970. He designed murals, panels and cut outs as well as the fifth entry face. In the seventies Martin Sharp and Peter Kingston along with Richard Liney, and many others were commissioned to revitalise the Park. A tragedy struck the park in 1979 when fire broke out on the ghost train, killing several people. Since then the park has closed and re-opened several times, partly because of complaints by the mostly wealthy local residents to the noise generated by the park. Luna Park reopened in 2004 after several years’ closure following an abortive attempt at reviving the park after a much longer period of closure.
