Advantages: Fun

Disadvantages: Can't think of any

Luna Park is more like an fairground than a theme park. You won't get white knuckle rides, but you will get fun rides that make you laugh.

You can buy tickets for the rides or a wristband to go on them all. I would recommend the wristband, as you only have to go on about 5 rides to make it worth it. If you have a YHA or other discount card, you get 10% off.

It is easily accessible by public transport, including late at night.

Best rides were The Rotor and Prison Break. I can't really describe The Rotor, it is more enjoyable if you don't know what it is going to do beforehand, but I will say I laughed til my cheeks hurt.
Prison Break is basically a cage-maze with strobe lighting and you have to find your way from one end to another. There are actors dressed up as prisoners that jump out and follow you around. It is one of the scariest fairground attractions I have ever encountered! I literally ran out of the door at the end.

I would recommend going at night. You won't need a whole day to do all the rides, and it adds to the whole 'amusement park' feel. They sell hot dogs and candy floss for the full experience. You can get some amazing pictures of the Harbour Bridge from the Ferris Wheel.

I didn't go to the Melbourne Luna Park, but I have been told by several people that it is not as good as the Sydney one.

Tip: wear closed shoes as there is one section of rides that they won't let you on if you are wearing flip-flops/ sandals.

Summary: Go at night and get candy floss for the full fairground experience.
