* AmusementParkOfDoom: On June 9, 1979, the Ghost Train exploded into flames, with the fire being able to completely destroy the ride, as a result of inadequate fire protection, understaffing in the park, and low water pressure (water from Sydney Harbour had to be used to put out the fire). 7 people, 6 of whom were children, lost their lives that night. The cause of the fire has never been determined, although according to evidence from witnesses, it was most likely arson (an investigation by Creator/TheABC in 2021 revealed possible links to police corruption and organized crime).

Luna Park Sydney is a small amusement park located in Milson's Point in Sydney, Australia. It opened on October 4th, 1935, and was heritage listed on 5 March 2010. The park has been closed multiple times; on June 9, 1979, following a fire in the Ghost Train, which killed 7 people; 6 children and one adult. In 1981, almost all the old park, excluding Crystal Palace, Coney Island, and the face was auctioned off, with the remainder being bulldozed, with new rides being built in their place; in addition to being renamed "Harbourside Amusement Park". In 1988, the park was closed again, and this time did not reopen until 1995 with new attractions. However, this was short-lived, as people from adjacent apartments complained about the noise being created by the Big Dipper, an Arrow Looper roller coaster. The park was closed in 1996, and Big Dipper was sold to Dreamworld and renamed Cyclone.[[note]]The ride was renamed Hot Wheels Sidewinder in 2015, and in 2020, was renamed yet again to The Gold Coaster.[[/note]] The park was closed in 1996, and then, only opened on special occasions until reopening permanently in 2004. In 2021, the park closed for major renovations, which includes a revival of Big Dipper, this time an Creator/{{Intamin}} Hot Racer, and the world's first launched single rail coaster.
