The big merged Scooter Guy thread of nonsense

When I was about 3 or so, I've heard of Dazzleland by seeing it's ads on TV! But I've never been to it, and now it's sitting vacant since it closed to public!
If anyone else can make a photo tribute to this place, please let me know! Thanks!

Anyone remembered this amusement ride? It collapsed at the Royal Adelaide Show 9 years ago!

Was that really 9 years ago already? Wow! I remember my sister ringing me from the show saying she had been lining up and a piece of the ride had hit her friend in the leg and they were at the Royal Adelaide hospital. Scary stuff!!!

It was the seat gondola which collapsed, in other words, broke off it's arms!
Where is the ride now? My guess is it is idly sitting at a workshop in an obscure location!

Anyone remembered Ampol petrol stations? They're becoming very hard to find these days as they're being ousted by Caltex/Woolworths!
Watch my tribute video!:

while I was watching your video above, I came across this one. I was surprised to see that our O Bahn gained so many international interests when it was built that we've offered to sell this technology to other countries!
Wonder where has our spirit gone? Pretty much dead since then I supposed.

Are you a Coca-Cola or a Pepsi drinker and why? For me it's Coke for most of the time!

Upon completion of the Entertainment Centre upgrade, I predict it will become a home of fantastic game shows such as Deal or No Deal, or The Price Is Right which is one of my favourites!

While searching every nook & cranny, I discovered this bird's eye photo of Tea Tree Plaza, possibly from the early 80's!

I haven't been to TTP in years and years - not since the mid-'90s when there was both a Toys R Us and a World 4 Kids, and the trip up on the O-bahn was a special treat. Ah, memories.
