Fantastic to see this video back up, if you’re taking requests I’d love to see a video on the Lachlan Vintage Village.

[@buda3d2007]

Damn I loved Luna Park in the mid 90s. I was so angry when those rich North Sydney a-holes ruined the place.
My Grandfather actually worked there in the 60s and my father got to hang out in the park for free as a kid, I was so jealous when he told me haha

What rides did he work on?

[@MicBain]

@queenielouweekly3160 I'm not sure, I'd have to ask my dad. I think staff probably got moved around a lot, that's what it was like when I worked at Sea World in my early 20s.

Hey, SL films. It would be really cool if you could do an episode on pizza showtime and other Australian animatronic pizza places. It would be pretty cool because 1. I havent seen a proper documentation of these places and 2. They are very popular in the animatronic community. Places like this include billy bobs pizza theatre in Knox, Victoria, pizza showtime in Perth, NSW and Charlie cheese in surfers paradise, QLD and carindale QLD. these places info on them are very slim but lots of them did pretty well except Charlie cheese. But that’s the companies fault. These places all had arcades in them, usually similar to Timezone just better.

I deliver packaging to Luna Park 2 or 3 times a week. It's so trippy to see it in its abandoned state.
I wish it had of occurred to me back in the 90s to go explore it.

Welcome back.

Great video mate 👍

[@MrP4n]

Very very nice! this was a story I wanted to learn more about

[@richalderson6069]

Once the Ghost Train fire happened and the Big Dipper was demolished, that was it, Luna Park was dead.

[@buda3d2007]

I worked there on and off for a hospitality agency, the guy running it back in the early 2000's was a bit of a hot head, he berated staff before an event just as a forewarning, such a little man move, and on a darker note, a security team that had a fulltime guard dog at the site before it opened after the early 2000's refurb had its head removed, not sure the full extent of what happened there but the place at that time had some shady characters attached to it.

[@johnbrooks9523]

Luna Park is loved. That love will never die regardless of whingeing wealthy creeps who move in next door to a noisy tourist attraction & then complain about the noise... Discusting entitled creeps!

[@Lostmusicvideos]

When's the next upload? I remember you said on fb you're working on another big project.

[@everfreebrumby8385]

What about a video on the history Dracula’s restaurant in Melbourne?

[@emrmotionsims]

when are you doing more videos mate

[@Shelbsalexis]

Is this the Luna Park where the fire happened on Ghost Train?

[@johnbrooks9523]

Yes.

[@Magpie_Mark92]
