Games and Sideshows (1985)

Besides its rides and shows, Australia’s Wonderland opened with games and sideshows in each land, paid for separately from the pay one price admission. The 1985 souvenir book names them but describes only a few; the rest are listed here as named. They were separate from the park’s electronic Games Arcade in Goldrush.

Hanna-Barbera Land

• Astro’s Action: a timed ball toss in which players tried to throw balls into a can before its lid closed, named after Astro from The Jetsons
• Jetson’s Star Maker: named in the book, operation not described
• Jabber Jaw’s Water Wonder: named in the book, operation not described
• Pebble’s Ring Fling: named in the book; the name suggests a ring toss, but the book does not say
• Wilma’s Weigh-In: named in the book, operation not described
• Old McScrappy’s Golfing Farm: the mini golf course on the site later taken by Fred Flintstone’s Splashdown

Medieval Faire

The book identifies five games centres in Medieval Faire: Jester’s Court, Ye Pitching Place, Royal Sports and Courts, Tournament Faire Games and Dunk The Foole. Ye Pitching Place and Tournament Faire Games had their own signage and games areas. The book does not describe the individual games played in them.
