‘I love that it feels like you’re taking a time machine back to an authentic, incredibly preserved, corporate free, fun factory!’ she added.

‘Luna Park is such a special place to me and my family,’ she tweeted.
‘We’ve shared some incredible memories there, it’s one of the places we most look forward to visiting when on tour. I hope Luna Park is around forever and ever and ever!!!’ she added.
Last month The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the future of Sydney’s Luna Park is in jeopardy after a court ruled the amusement park needed to make a development approval in order to start constructing a new carousel ride.

Luna Park’s owners were angered by the Land and Environment Court’s decision, fearing authorities could delay or even refuse the new ride named ‘Flying Carousel’ and any future rides.
‘We are deeply disappointed by this decision, which places a big question mark over the long-term viability of one of Sydney’s best-known and most-loved destinations,’ Luna Park CEO Peter Hearne told the Sydney Morning Herald.
‘We have always played by the rules only to find that, now, those rules are being interpreted in a way that will place the long-term future of the park in doubt.’
