Lovely retrospective site on the theme park that Sydneysiders lost...

Is there still anything recognizable here if you look at it from Google Earth? (And do you know the coordinates?)

Wow, this is sad (and reminds me of my nostalgia for Frontier Village in San Jose) :(

Big Sky in there, wow! The earthmovers do nothing for the landscape.

When you come to California, go to Great America and ride Grizzly- it's a clone (and runs just as sadly) as the Bush Beast at Wonderland.

There is actually a page of comparative satellite shots on this page of the site linked by Lashie

Wow, that's depressing to look at. I love how theme parks look from overhead. Warehouses? BO-ring!!! It's a pity Sydney lost this very nice looking park. My first billion, I'l come down and put up something myself.

you can just make out the footprints of some of the rides and the snowy river rampage, but only faintly. :(

From the time Sunway took over and until the parks closure the only major attraction added was the Skyrider. It's often claimed that the park was run on 'remote control' with the parent company indifferent to any real development of the park.

While this may not be the only reason why it closed, it does speak to Disneylands' success.
