Australia's Wonderland

Australia's Wonderland opened on December 7, 1985, as the sixth member of the Kings Entertainment amusement park family. At 219 acres, it was the largest amusement park in the Southern Hemisphere. The park's design was based mostly on Canada's Wonderland. It was also a sibling, though, of Kings Island, Kings Dominion, Carowinds, and Great America. Indeed, Australia's Wonderland shared much design and theming elements from the rest of its North American counterparts.
