Luna Park Sydney (originallly Luna Park Milsons Point, Also known as Sydney's Luna Park) is an amusement park located in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. Luna Park is Located at Milsons point, on the northern shore of Sydney Harbour.
The park was constructed at the foot of the Sydney Harbour Bridge during 1935, and ran for nine-month seasons until 1972, when it was opended year-round. Luna Park was closed in mid-1979, immediately following the Ghost Train fire, which killed six children and one adult. Most of the park was demolished, and a new amusment park was constructed; this originally operated under the name of Harbourside Amusement Park before resuming the Luna Park name. The park was closed again in 1988 as an independent engineering inspection determined that several rides needed urgent repair. The owners failed to repair and peaple the park before a new reopening in 1995, Luna Park closed again after thirteen months because of the big dipper rollecoaster: noise pollution complaints from residents on the clifftop above the park caused the ride's operating hourse to be heavily restricted, and the resultant drop in attendance made the park unprofitable. after another redevelopment, Luna Park reopened in 2004 and has continued operating since.
Luna Park is one of two amusement parks in the world that are protected by government legislation; several of the buildings on the site are also listed on the Register of the National Estate and the Nsw State Heritage Register. The park has untilised as a filming location for several movies and television shows. (Source: http://goo.gl/8XNJQd)
