With a capital injection of $65 million, Wonderland began life in December 1985 with the financial backing of the NSW State Superannuation Board (33.75%), James Hardie Industries (23.75%), Leighton Holdings (18.75%) and Taft Broadcasting (23.75%). The initial goal was to capture the family entertainment market in Sydney with the trial of an American-style theme park for Australia.
I have just got to mention one of my fondest memories from Wonderland was getting a freshly made, hot cinnamon donut on a cold winters day from the little booth near the Snowy River Rampage..
