The tall bumpy wooden slides you slid down on a burlap sack, the rolling tunnel, the floors that jiggled this way & that & bumped up & down - so much fun. I loved it all.

Luna Park once or twice when we lived there, but I don't think they really appreciated the nostalgic aspects of the place, compared with the modern theme parks they were used to.
