Remember the old Magic Mountain at Glenelg?? That was ****ing awesome. Had some fun times there as as a kid. It miles better that the current 'Beach House'.
Also remember this clown at Glenelg:

This mother **** scared the shit out of me when I was a kid.
 
I remember the old Magic Mountain. Looked like a giant turd.
Na, they were reserved for the water slides

Also, Marineland. Was a shame that closed down

HAHA it did lol. Though as a kid it was probably my favorite places to go. A lot of great memories there.

I've heard about Marineland before, but it closed in the late 80s (a few years before I was born).
Was it like a smaller version of Seaworld??
 
A few years ago my mate told me that a kid died when he went over the edge of the water slide at Magic Mountain. Any truth to this or was just bullshitting?
 
Those ugly hanging lights in the main foyer at the old Marion :eek:
Aladdins castle , playing EXCITING HOUR and BADLANDS.
When the old Marion pool got a waterslide.
Splashdown at Colonnades.
When the ICA opened at Morphett Vale and Craig McDermott was there.
Coming over the crest on Flaxmill rd heading towards the beach and the sun bouncing off the gulf.
Hot summer nights and we'd all sleep in the lounge.
Top of Taps , Skye , windy pt , Lofty ;)
Lying under the trainline as it crosses the sturt creek near Westminster.
The view looking north as you crest O'Halloran Hill.
The view of the southern vales heading the other way.
Old SANFL primary school tribalism ( Glenelg and Port w***ers everywhere :D )
Pre-internet days , getting your SANFL results by scarfs hanging out of car windows.
 
Anyone think they should bring back the old trams?? They gave our city a vintage feel to it.

Couldn't tell you but if it did i reckon i know what bend it was on , can't remember the slide name ( maybe the " SAFM " slide ) but it was a nasty left-hander near the bottom , think it was the 2nd in from beach where it ended.

Wasn't there only 1 slide that was open and the rest were enclosed?? Or am I just imagining it was like that?

ahh, I could have sworn that there was at least 1 that was partly enclosed. The one I'm talking about is the one at the back of Magic Mountain. When you went in, it was open, you could look over at Glenelg beach, then it went into a tube and then the exit was open. I'm pretty sure that's how it was.
 
Oh will you look at that - another Adelaide thread :rolleyes:
