Australia's Luna Park is to get a $30m renovation including new children's rides and a new rollercoaster.

Nine new rides will be built at Sydney's famous Luna Park next year under a $30 million overhaul, as the NSW government urges tourism operators to invest in attractions to help the state recover from the coronavirus crisis. The historic park, which opened at Milsons Point on Sydney Harbour in 1935, will close for six months from the end of January in 2021 to allow the installation of six children's rides and a new "Big Dipper" roller-coaster.

Eight of the new rides, which also include a "family coaster" and a "thrill ride", will be open for the school holidays next July. They will replace existing rides, including the Spider, in the children's section. The new Big Dipper, which will replace the Tumblebug scrambler ride in the Midway section of the park, is expected to be operating by November or December 2021.

During the Mark Shapiro era of Six Flags, Legacy Entertainment was engaged to develop several entertainment concepts for the chain's 50th anniversary in 2011. These plans were scrapped with the exit of Shapiro and his team.

One unique concept was that each park would stage a live show (tentatively titled "The Main Event") that would take place on sets comprised of historical artifacts from the park's past. The concept art was based on relics sitting in the boneyard of Six Flags Magic Mountain, including the Buddha from The Magic Pagoda.

Cloud Lake is an integrated resort concept developed by Legacy Entertainment for Chinese developer Zhixin. Planned for the city of Chengdu, the design features retail, hotel, and theme park components, all centered around the theme of water.
