    It actually spells 'Dazzeland'.
    The props that hung from the ceiling over the roller coaster are now currently residing at a place called DeYoung's Salvage on Baden Terrace in O'Sullivan Beach.
    You should check out the videos of the lifts that I filmed too (just before refurbishment).

    Finally some more footage of the rides and a bit from the lifts back in those days, they kept that look and those chimes until the 2013 upgrade, I saw RS 1990's videos from before the lift refurbishment taken in December 2013 after the upgrade was finished and the lifts that go down to Carpark 2 were refurbished but before the ones that go down to Carpark 4 were, there also used to be an elevator filmer called austelevators, check out his channel, he filmed the lifts there before the upgrade, I wish they had kept level 4 open, now that has no entrance to the store and level 5 is now closed off completely even in the store so it's now impossible to get up to those levels in the center, but some people have found a way to glitch the lifts to get up there, I saw a video from last year up on level 5

    The video does show Dazzeland’s shortcomings. The rides were aimed at young children. I remember even at aged 11-12 (funnily enough when this would’ve been shot), the only rides suitable for me were Jazz Junction and the dodgem cars (and maybe the train if I wanted some variety). Everything else was really suited for kids 8 and under.
    The arcade stuff was ok, but then there were a plethora of Timezones covering that in the suburbs anyway.

    Interesting to see it from someone who came to Adelaide in 2008. The Myer centre seems to be exactly as it was then so in like 22 years it has barely changed except losing these amazing arcade games

    My Dad was a Mall Cop at The Myer Centre back in 1995. He got a family pass off one of the DazzleLand clowns for me to spend the day at DazzleLand. Great memories.
    DazzleLand reined supreme in Adelaide... until someone decided to jump out of Jazz Junction (the roller coaster) while it was in motion.
    That happened in 1995 as well.
    She was the first of I think there were 3 successful suicides there. 😥😣
    Still don’t understand how that “Chris” managed to jump off one of the escalators to his death that Friday Night when my Dad called home like 3 minutes before he was due to clock off work about it. He was meant to finish at 9:30pm because the Adelaide CBD had (and still has) late night shopping on Friday Nights. I think he got home at close to midnight.

      My friends partner was one of the suicides there a few years ago. Now everytime I see these kind of videos of the interior it triggers those memories. :(

      It should never have been built. It was a silly attempt to modernise our CBD and it cost the state millions in bankruptcy. The most glaring problem was that the building it replaced, a 19th century Victorian Myer department store, was 10x more beautiful than this green/yellow high-rise contemporary, which now is basically a ghost mall.

      It this the debt caused by this credit that sinks businesses & Adelaide CBD is a special case.
      The entire money supply is interest bearing bank credit.
