Corrections - Administration usually results in liquidation, sale or deed of company administration (where the company files a company service agreement and exits it straight out and sees what sticks). But you are right they can't just retool themselves and hope for the best like in Chapter 11, but I wouldn't call it Chapter 7 which more equal to creditors voluntary liquidation or end-stage receivership. Receivership is when a secured creditor puts the company in a sort of administration to force it to refund the debt (slightly different to UK). Apparently they did both, not sure if one triggered the other. - A lot of your photos are from the administration sale before the receivers sale
I was a blockbuster franchisee. Your research was spot on. Great video

For chrissakes CLEAN UP YOUR ACT. This video starts with long blackness then blue screen and static before a full-screen "1990". Amateurish as hell. Needs a major edit so we can fully enjoy the fascinating historical footage. I went to Luna Park in early 1970's.

It was part of the Ribbon "W" hotel development. Two builders - Grocon and Probuild (at least the local branch, they are South African) went bust. When a new builder takes over a site, they have to do a lot of due diligence stuff, so they can't be held responsible for any faults.

I really enjoyed this video! I went there in 1998 and I had a great time, but I remember thinking it was quite expensive at the time (parents paid of course, lol) and now that you mention it, there was no ride about Sonic or other Sega mascots, but I still had a lot of fun. It's a shame it didn't last very long, and similarly how Wonderland closed down as well. I'm from Melbourne, and Wonderland and Sega World were my two favourite things in Sydney when I was a kid. I'm going to dig up family photos of those places. If there's some without family members on it, I guess we could use them for historical purposes, haha.

You've got a real ear for music. A couple of tracks I've been curious about. That new intro music is simply elegant and beautiful. Still the most under-rated channel I've found. I've always wondered what happened to World4kids

So many good memories of the place, from going there with family as a kid to going there on dates or hanging out with the boys as a teen. In the right hands it could of still been a special place and a much beloved landmark in Sydney, and I'd probably still be going but now with my own family. Cheers for the video.

Great video! I have fond memories of World 4 Kids in 1994, I believe it was the one in Clayton in Victoria, and I went there on opening night and I remember how magical it all felt, it was truly wonderful. I am actually shocked to learn how much World 4 Kids and Toys R Us lost over their years of operation, and yet it is sad to see them go. Would you be interested in covering All-you-can-eat restaurants? I feel like they're a relic from the past now. Smorgy's in Melbourne was a big one, as well as when Pizza Hut was All-you-can-eat, and I believe there is only one left like that in Ballarat.
