Xmas 2010
Posted: Mon Apr 12, 2010 10:50 pm
I was at Luna Park over the weekend. Had been meaning to go there for over 10years so decided to drive down on Friday go to the RES Saturday (the day after the Tower Loop broke down) and Luna Park Saturday night and Sunday morning then drive back.
I was speaking to a Park Supervisor who told me that Pirates Revenge will be at the park this Xmas.
On a different note I've never seen a park work so slow in peak periods. We were in the line for the Tango Train for 40mins and there was only 2 rides before us. Each ride cycle from load operate and unload was more than 15mins each rides. They ran the ride for nearly 8mins of those each cycle. I must say that is way too long for a ride like this as our necks were so sore still 24hrs later. I mentioned this to the Parks office and they just said "Yes it is one of our longer rides" in a pleased with themselves tone of voice.
On a possitive note I saw more street entertainers and characters in the 5hrs I was there than the last 8 visits to the big Gold Coast theme parks combined.
