Luna Park and History
The original name of the Luna Park Sydney is the Luna Park Milsons Point. It was constructed during 1935 on the northern bank of Sydney Harbour. The amusement park worked only nine seasons a year until 1972 when
it became open all year round. During its history of the Luna Park experienced failures and success, tragic events, long-period closures and substantial improvements (Marshall, 2005). As a matter of fact, the construction of the amusement park followed the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge back in 1932. These two places may be considered as the symbols of the Australian modernism which was influenced by the developing
industrialization and the success of the capitalist ideology. Being a part of the British Empire, Australia was one of the places where society had to develop and integrate into the industrial world. The construction of the
Luna Park was a kind of manifestation of the use of industry not only for construction of facilities but also for entertainment.
The Luna Park Sydney became the place of continuous fun with the availability of advanced facilities for entertainment and also symbolized its modernist strategy. For Australia, the Luna Park project may be considered not only as a symbol of industrial growth but also as the symbol of self-development and self-improvement (Gillen & Ghosh, 2007).Being the major political and economic center of Australia, Sydney became the place of modernity trend and transformed the traditional reality of this city.
