In late 1995 a new symbol rose from the ground at Australias' Wonderland - "Space Probe 7".
SWR-FM approached Wonderland and gained a handshake agreement to install some temporary equipment and conduct a test.
One limitation was the type of antenna they could use, they were limited to using a Co-Linear (Whip) type antenna so as not to distract from the "look" of the probe. A few weeks' later the heavy equipment was hauled up 75 metres inside the probe by the technical team, installed and switched on in November 1996.
So people all is not lost, you can still go and have a ride on the Bush Beast. Just have to fork out the cost of an airfare to Toronto. It looks about as rough as it used to be at Wonderland Syd as well.
My name is Jarad but alot of people know me as Jazer.
I'm 21 years old and currently living in South Australia. When I was younger my family used to live in Sydney and just like everyone else, we used to go to Australia's Wonderland.
In 1998, I celebrated my 13th birthday there with my family and I can tell you all that I had a great time.
Sadly I didn't go on The Bush Beast, The Beastie and The Demon (as there were too scary for me ) but I loved going on the Snowy River Rampage & the Zodiac. I think I went on a couple of more rides but I can't remember as it was so long ago.
I also went to Wonderland a few times before but this day would be the last for me. I'm happy that I still got photos from that day, including one of me eating my lunch!!
I will show you guys my photos soon as I'm getting them re-developed.
Has anyone else here celebrated their birthday at Australia's Wonderland??
