Wonderland Sydney To Cease Trading
16/02/04
It is with great sadness that the decision has been taken to close Wonderland Sydney.
It is our intention to cease trading on April 26, 2004. The decision was taken in view of consistent losses incurred and difficult market conditions.
The challenges faced by the tourism/leisure industry over the past few years… the Asian financial crisis, Sept 11, Ansett collapse, War on Iraq, HIH collapse and the skyrocketing insurance premiums, the Bali terrorist attack, the devastating bush fires, SARS and now the Asian bird flu have simply taken their toll.
Mr Stephen Galbraith, CEO Leisure Theme Parks Sunway Group said today, “When we took over eight years ago, the park’s future was uncertain. Since then, we have lifted the overall performance of the park, completely rebuilt its image and brand awareness”.
Our efforts were recognised with Wonderland Sydney achieving the major attraction award for Business excellence at the 2002 Tourism NSW Awards and runner up in 2003. Recognition by IAAPA- International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions yielded two “Brass Ring“ awards for outstanding marketing.
However all this has simply not been enough to sustain the operation.
The first priority is our staff. All appropriate leave entitlements under their respective awards and agreements will be honoured. Wonderland Sydney will also provide a range of initiatives to assist and support staff in finding new employment.
