A Sydney man has been left slightly disturbed by the news that Luna park was recently sold, assuming that the landmark had been bought up by a casino giant years ago.
The shocking news came out earlier this week as Sydney’s iconic Luna Park has changed ownership for the first time in nearly two decades, with leading local hospitality group Oscars Group acquiring the landmark.
“I swear to god I could have sworn I read about a casino buying that thing a while ago? what’s going on? did they sell it that quick?” Said Matt Boyd (28) a life long Sydney resident.
The acquisition has left many Sydney-siders in disbelief, as they were certain that, like many major property deals, the beloved landmark had already been snapped up by a soulless casino.
Oscars Group, one of New South Wales’ largest privately owned hospitality operators, boasts an extensive portfolio that spans hotels, resorts, pubs, event venues, and commercial properties along Australia’s Eastern seaboard.
“We are excited to announce the purchase of one of Sydney’s most historic landmarks, we look forward to an exciting future” A spokesperson for Oscars Group said to a room that was completely empty due to most people convinced the thing sold in 2019.
“We hope over time people may come to realise that their assumption that Luna Park was bought by Crown or Star is simply just a case of collective Mandela effect” the Spokesperson affirmed.
Oscars Group secured the acquisition amid competition from major theme park operators, including the teams behind Warner Bros. Movie World and Dreamworld, emerging as Luna Park’s new owners.
