Dreamland shoot-the-chutes

 

William Reynolds understood that the Shoot-the-Chutes were one of the biggest draws at Luna Park and he decided to copy the ride for his park. In fact, that was his theory when building much of the park. Many rides, from the Chutes, the Fighting Flames (a copy of Fire and Flames) to Bostock's Circus (Luna had elephants) were only some of the similarities between the parks.

Nighttime has descended on Dreamland. This view is looking up at the chutes. Beyond that the ocean is rumbling endlessly.
