MAGIC KINGDOM

Magic Kingdom Amusement Park, opened in the suburb of Lansvale, Western Sydney in the 1970s.

The entry fee was $4 and it featured more than 15 rides plus two water slides and a giant dry slide. Magic Kingdom was popular enough to survive until the early 1990s when perhaps it was built on a flood-prone swamp—attendance began to dwindle.

Abandoned now for more than 20 years but still containing the rusty giant dry slide and a big shoe, among a few other crumbling bits and pieces, the site has predictably become a graffiti-covered haunt for local teenagers. It’s also the subject of numerous urban legends including an obligatory one about ghosts that haunt the site after dark.
