- Luna Park is a classic amusement park in Sydney, Australia. This park is located on Sydney Harbour and the park uses that setting to its advantage. The park is small, but it has some classic rides and it recently received a big renovation. Was that $30 million overhaul worth it? Find out in this review!

Glad you enjoyed your visit, it was awesome to have you! And thanks for the shoutout to the Dipper crew, it's really encouraging to hear that our efforts to be efficient don't go unnoticed :)
Great job!
I‘ve been waiting for this
Enjoy!
Luna Park seems like a very popular amusement park name
Only goes to show how influential Coney Island was
Sure is.
I don't know why but seeing you on the Rotor all by yourself cracked me up laughing.
I wonder how many people didn't know it was a ride.
The entrance never fails to scare the living bejesus out of me.
Other than that, I love how close this park is to the buildings. Looks stunning.
I can see how it would scare someone.
I find your park reviews super useful for when I visit parks. I'll be going to Alabama Adventure, Lake Winnie, and Tropic Falls in a couple months. Any video plans or recommendations for any of these?
I haven't been to Tropic Falls. For Alabama Adventure, do the water park first if you're interested in that and arrive at opening. Rampage almost never has a line and it warms up after an hour or two.
Luna park was the worst show experience I had as a child lol..
I had to choose between the aquarium or Luna park. I chose Luna park for the awesome rides.
Once we finally got to Luna park my excitement switched to pure sadness when I wasn’t allowed to go on any of the rides cause I was too young/short. All I could go on was the “baby rides” which is exactly what I called them baha.
The Ferris wheel is the only
Ride I actually remember going on.
My local Showgrounds in my tiny hometown in the middle of no where Australia was 100x more fun than boring soft Luna park lol..
That's always a bummer being too short for rides.
This is the first video where I heard the word "Wife". Congratulations if this is new! She scored one of the best RUclipsrs in America 🍾
Australia was our honeymoon, which is why.
@@CanobieCoaster I had a hunch. Congrats 🥰
You should make a video where you talk about if you owned your own amusement park not many of those videos exist
Sort of like a prediction video / what would I do?
@@CanobieCoaster no just for fun
Mike did you make it to Aussie World? They used to have a wooden wild mouse with an identical layout but closed it as well. They now have one of Reverchon's MK2 of their spinning coaster.
I did not. Drove past it on the way to the Australia Zoo though. My wife wanted a mix of things for our honeymoon, so I only put the big parks onto the itinerary.
@@CanobieCoasterCongrats on your marriage! Love your park reviews, great to see some of my home parks in Australia.
Unfortunately, the highlight of Tango Train (no seatbelts) has been reversed with the recent addition of one going across your lap. The operations on that are now even worse thanks to that, but it did add an interesting element with the operators handing you the key to unlock the seatbelts yourself one by one at the end of the ride. Not sure if thats common in the US but it gives a bit of rider participation lol. Very interested that Boomerang was down, think I've only seen it fully down for a period twice since its opened
That's a bummer Tango Train got seatbelts, but I'm not surprised given the safety standards I observed in Australia.
The seatbelts are suprising to hear about as a german. The Mack models here with thier insane speed only have one huge bar for the whole row and it doesn't even touch your lap, nothing.
I love these types of rides a LOT, but to be honest a seatbelt would be a no go for me.
This park would be a perfect place have a Tagada. I'm not sure if they are legal in Australia or not
I don't know if they are, but I'd love to see one.
@@CanobieCoasterThey're illegal, but it really would fit in with the Fun House. Maybe a tamer version could pass but I doubt we'll ever see that.
The video at 12:36 feels eerie and haunting but I cannot identify exactly why. Either way it's the scariest off-ride footage of all time lol.
Lol, not many people were riding it. I wonder how many people missed the ride since you may not be able to tell it is one.
hey canobie coaster, just wondering, how many roller coasters have you ridden in total?
Over 1270
GOING THERE IN 2 DAYS!!!!!
Enjoy!
GOING TODAY!!! Def going on the Big Dipper
It seems the Sydney park is better than the Melbourne one BY FAR. I went in April and LPM was a disappointing experience. Let’s compare it:
Prices: Melbourne is rather cheap compared to Sydney, with $51 tickets. You cannot leave the park at all however, so no getting views on the boardwalk or getting food and coming back etc. Also there is no pay-per-ride option, you must get the all rides one.
Rides: The rides were decent, however Sydney’s were much better and more well maintained. While Sydney tries to mix the theme of the park throughout the whole area, Melbourne crams rides into random spots.
Operations: The operations were HORRIBLE. Some of the rides had 10-minute dispatches as well as most running in reduced capacity like Scenic Railway, that only had 1 train. Since that was a 4.5 min ride cycle, there were basically 1 cycle every 10 minutes.
Atmosphere: Compared to the Sydney one, the Melbourne park also doesn’t have a great atmosphere. As I said before, there is things cramped everywhere and ruins the clean park. Also the dispatches were long (as I said) with lines hardly keeping you in. I was called to go on the Twin Dragon and I had to walk sideways to get through the line.
So it is worth it for the Scenic Railway but it isn’t as good as Sydney. Also if you are tall on the Scenic Railway it is a knee-basher, I am 184cm and everytime it went down a hill, I smashed my knees into the train.
That's shocking about the no re-entry policy. Is that a carried over policy from covid or have they always had that?
How much does it cost
Depends on the day, but it can be pricey. Check their website.
@@CanobieCoaster like is there a additional price to enter or does it come with the pass
It's included on the wristband or you can pay per ride.
@@CanobieCoaster oh ok thanks, I am planing to go at the end of this month.
12:34 Hilarious zen ride
Not many people were riding it. I wonder if people didn't realize it was a ride.
