[edit] Magic Mountain

Whatever happened to Magic Mountain? When I lived in Adelaide circa '95, plans were afoot to pull Magic Mountain down for apartments. I guess it's gone by now? Is information on it worth including here in the article? It was quite a fun and unique amusement park for it's day. -- Longhair | Talk 14:13, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it's been gone for nearly a year http://www.abc.net.au/adelaide/stories/s1156154.htm --ScottDavis 14:21, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

No spoilers in edit summaries is there :) Thanks Scott. I might even have some old photos around. -- Longhair | Talk 14:25, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

How's this for an old photo: Magic Mountain's very demolition.--Cyberjunkie | Talk 17:14, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] palindromicness

I'd love to mention the fact that Glenelg is one of the rare few palindromic place names in the world, but there isn't a home for that tidbit just yet. But don't forget it! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stevage (talk • contribs).

[edit] Expanding History

I added the Expansion Request tag because Glenelg is a very historical suburb for Adelaide, and I'm sure there's heaps I've missed out. Any additions would be appreciated. Cheers. --AtD 14:21, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
