Lost Amusement Parks of SE Queensland - Part 1: Brisbane and Surrounds

- Theme parks are undoubtedly a huge part of South-East Queensland's identity and culture.
Back in the 80's and 90s, a lot of Brisbane folk would have likely spent many a summer holiday at Top's, Amazon's, with the animals at Alma Park Zoo, or maybe even rode the Titan rolller-coaster at World Expo Park. Or perhaps your ancestors saw the tiger shows at Hemmant's Queensport Aquarium...
Whatever happened to these places?
While Brisbane has boasted a large number of theme parks, waterparks and wildlife centres, many of them fell in favour of the more tourist-centric areas like Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, among many other reasons.
This video is the first part of a series of South-East Queensland's lost theme parks and amusement centres. This first episode will take a brief look at the lost theme parks of Brisbane and its surrounding areas.
IBIS Channel 32 acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the lands presented within this documentary, and we pay respects to Elders past and present.
Any parks we've forgotten? Where was somewhere in Brisbane (or surrounds) you used to visit during the summertime when you were growing up?
Mirage Grand Pix at Oxley comes to mind. Thank you for this, seeing Amazons again even briefly brought back so many memories.
@@CycKath They mentioned it.
@@CycKath We gave Mirage a mention! Albeit very briefly!
Aussie world deserved a passing mention, still running, was an interesting choice for a holiday from Brisbane in the other direction than The Gold Coast.
@@UncleDanDota Thanks mate, but this video is about theme parks no longer running. Aussie World are still going.
Thanks again for another fantastic trip down memory lane, and also for some education!😊
I remember the Warrego Waterslide in Haigslea. The big tube slides were a stand-out feature from the Warrego Highway.
Brilliant video mate. Been a SEQ resident my whole life and have always loved theme parks. Never knew half of these places you showed existed!
I look forward to the next video, and look forward to the inevitable coverage of magic Mountain on the Gold Coast. Never got to go there, but I did go on the chairlift.... after it was relocated to dreamworld after it's closure!.
Keep up the excellent work!
I really enjoyed that. I love how much history our city has
Great video! Bunya Park was a smaller wildlife park on the Northside. It had koalas, dingoes, emus, wombats, kangaroos etc... plus a maze near the carpark. Kumbartcho Sanctuary & Nursery is now in its place.
A small part of Ferny Groves Woolshed waterslides is set up in a backyard on Lilley Rd Cashmere. Loved the Amazons footage. Thanks for the great info and Merry Christmas to you!!
Great video.
What a great flash back have a great xmas!
Good flashbacks. Have a lovely Christmas mate!👍
Awesome Mate, Takes me back..The woolshed at ferny grove was cool as well.
I remember Wild Waters at Logan had awesome slides . We would arch our backs so only our shoulders, elbow and ankles would touch the slide and we would absolutely fly down!
Would love to see one covering the old video arcades like Playtime & Timezone in a similar fashion.
The Woolshed always seemed like a fever dream to be. I was once when I was in primary school, remember having to go down the slides in my school clothes because we weren't told there were slides. I got a sandwich bag of freshly shaved wool to take home and I had it for a couple of years until I had to throw it out. I could rarely find any information about the place when googling and whenever I asked someone about the place, they remember it existing and maybe even visiting but couldn't remember anything other than that.
👍 good reporting
I'd totally for gotten about Scarborough Fun Fair until I saw the photos.
