    Dazzleland was my childhood . We couldn’t get up the lifts quick enough. The lifts were all part of the excitement. When you finally reached level 5 you couldn’t contain your excitement. The roller coaster scary yet so much fun. My brother and I would spend hours there. I remember getting my first strawberry lip gloss at the body shop. Still makes me incredibly sad to look up and not hear and see the roller coaster

    I lived in Adelaide until 1992, so was lucky enough to go when the centre was at its height - as a 7 year old, it was the most awesome place in the world! Very fond memories of the rollercoaster and the Lego pirates :)
    I live in England now, and am sad to see the centre has suffered in recent years - but the same thing is happening here. Our latest high street casualty is Debenhams, which is/was the biggest department store in the country with huge buildings in most major towns and cities that all now lie empty. I guess that's what the internet has done - places like this will have to be more about experiences than retail in the future.

    We worked on Myer centre redevelopment around 2013. Dazzleland was long closed , but we had to break into it via the service lift the staff use in Myers. The wall was bricked up and we had to knock the bricks out to get in. No one had been in for years. All the things were still in there, the creepy bit was seeing the laughing clowns all covered in dust. It was used as our storage for building materials but no one would go in there at night alone. Definitely haunted.

      It's hard to believe it's been over 24 years now since it opened and the fact that it's no longer the same as it once was, it seems to be more of a clothing and fashion focused, and many people agree that it's not for us and I don't see anything decent happening any time soon, not even for levels 4 and 5, if they could just include more entertainment type of complexes, and more stores like we have in Rundle Mall Plaza and City Cross it would bring more people in, and being fashion focused and still having a food court just doesn't make any sense, surely it could use more, if they understood what we wanted like the above mentioned for example they'd do it
