Wonderland Sydney

In 1997, Sunway Group purchased Wonderland Sydney. Only one ride, Skyrider which was the former cable car at the Sydney Showgrounds, was added between the 1997 takeover and the park's closure. CEO Stephen Galbraith stated the September 11 attacks, the 2002 Bali bombings, the collapse of HIH Insurance, the SARS virus, the bird flu virus, "consistent losses" on the Asian financial crisis, the collapse of Ansett Australia, the Iraq War and the 2003 bushfires all contributed to the park's closure. ''The Sydney Morning Herald'' stated that Sunway Group "blames Wonderland's demise on everything except poor management".
