well, i was gonna get all poetic and stuff (hence the title) but fuck it.. i wanna rant....
how fucked up is it that they are gonna close wonderland sydney....
yes, thats right peoples, in april, wonderland will shut its doors for the last time...
the great(?) theme park has already started its walk down the green mile with a skeleton staff manning the park....
i'm sure there are many of us out there who have great memories of the many utopias spent there, getting to wander round a place made to capture the imagination of children (which is the same state most of us were in at the time...) the joys of rushing on the rides, the magical feelings that went through us walking through the gate, then even again at the end of the party.... even the afterparties in the carpark....
even before that, i for one have great memories of wandering the park at a kid, finally happy when i could reach the mark that said i could go on the big kids rollercoaster... hell, i still even have some hanna barbera dollars (kinda like ichy & scratchy money..)
so now, the kids of sydney are forced to party in sterile warehouses, and good old homebush... and no matter how many giant slides, jumping castles and cha cha's, we cant replace the pirate ships, space probes or flying chairs...
wonderland... a place of dreams and memories for a lot of us.... now designed to be sydneys next big industrial park....
