John Hughes, CEO of Luna Park Sydney, expresses pride in building one of the most technically advanced environments in the country. He envisages the venue as unparalleled, capable of hosting the best immersive experiences, never-before-seen live music and special events.
The expansion of Luna Park’s offerings is driven by the desire to be more than just an amusement park, evolving into a reliable, magical and affordable destination for all generations of Sydneysiders and city visitors.
Hughes notes that Luna Park Sydney’s transformation aligns with the demands of today’s audiences, who seek engagement, personalisation and immersive experiences in a highly social environment. This shift reflects the global rise of the immersive experience economy.
