O'Neill's Adventureland was a small amusement park located in Edmondson Park, New South Wales, Australia.
The park was promoted in the 1970s and 1980s on television commercials with the lyric "Something for mum and something for dad, something for grandma and old grandad...at Adventureland". The park operated under the name of Adventureland Sydney and was open throughout the year.
More recently the park has been used as a set for the television show Double the Fist. The rides at the park have also featured in movies such as Babe & Ghost Rider.[1]
The park was also used extensively in the 1983 Australian Drama - Hostage, where the initial first section of the movie was based. This movie was also know internationally as The Christine Maresch Story, which starred Judy Nunn and Kerry Mack.
