History of Luna Park Melbourne
On December 13th 1912, the construction of the Luna Park was brought to an end by American showmen J D Williams, together with the Phillips brothers Harold, Leon and Herman. Mr. Moon opened his giant mouth for the first time to St Kilda and thousands of people gathered into Melbourne’s Luna Park for the first time.
Since that day, Luna Park flooded with visitors who enjoyed the oldest theme park in Australia to its fullest. Every year, the visitors bring their families back to enjoy the thrilling and amazing rides in the most memorable park. Luna Park reopened in 1923 after being closed in the year 1916 and new and improved attractions.
By the late 1970s, a variety of latest rides were added and replaced some already existing rides. All the lastest rides and the interiors are based on the concept of Coney Island, New York from 1903.
This entire mission was developed by American entrepreneur J D Williams who was accompanied by the Phillips brothers who later brought the Luna Park enterprise to Australia.
