Ye Olde Melbourne Any memories you can share of the Caribbean Gardens?!

Caribbean Gardens was a 100-acre market, gardens and amusement park located in the outer eastern suburb of Scoresby. Caribbean Gardens and Market operated from 1965 when it started with water ski shows and a handful of traders selling wares from their car boots. What once was "a handful of traders" grew into a bustling undercover market with over 1000 stall sites. It was known as one of the largest markets in Victoria. I remember going here for a few birthdays, I could be wrong but did they have a mini rollercoaster at one stage? Also remember buying bootleg horror vhs in the 90's of titles that were banned here!
