Constructed during the 2003 redevelopment on the site of the Ghost Train , the Big Top ( originally to be named the '' Luna Circus '' ) is a fully licensed , multi-purpose venue capable of seating 2,000 people ( this capacity can increase to 3,000 for standing-only concerts ) . The modular design of the stage and seating allows the entire venue to be easily reconfigured for different event types , and the concrete building is heavily soundproofed to cut down on noise pollution . Examples of events run in the Big Top include concerts ( including shows from Kylie Minogue 's Anti Tour and the annual Come Together Music Festival ) , award shows and presentations ( like the inaugural MTV Australia Video Music Awards or the live finals for the 2005-2008 seasons of '' Australia 's Next Top Model '' ) , sporting tournaments ( like the Australia Mixed Martial Arts Cage Fighting Championship and the 2013 Sydney Darts Masters ) , trade shows , and other large events . First constructed in 1935 , Coney Island - Funnyland is the only operating example of a 1930s funhouse left in the world . Although some changes have been made over the years , the layout is almost identical to when Luna Park opened in 1935 . The design was based on funhouses in Europe and the United States , and contains rotating barrels , moving platforms , large slides , and arcade games . Today 's Coney Island is also host to the restored artworks of Arthur Barton ( who started as one of 35 artists , staying with the park until his retirement in 1970 , ( along with photographs and memorabilia spanning Luna Park 's 70-year history . The slides and amusements are the same ones first used in 1935 , but modified to meet modern safety standards . The amusements were saved from the 1981 demolition by the ' Friends of Luna Park ' action group , who purchased them for $ 9,200 , on the condition that they remain in the heritage-listed building
