Does anyone remember a jingle for Centrepoint (used in the late 80s - or maybe early 90s) that used to state that Centrepoint is "the tower of feeling"?
As a kid, I used to know Centrepoint as "the tower of feeling" and even sometimes (to this day) call it that. Would love to see that ad again - as I don't even remember the song anymore.
People have asked me "why do you call Centrepoint the Tower of feeling?" - I would love to show them that old commercial and say to them "because of this..."
I used to repair and service The Original Lifts that used to go up to top between 1988-1991. I once had to climb all the stairs when all 3 tower lifts malfunctioned. I was also there when The Newcastle Earthquake happened.
I was down there last week and all the shops in centrepoint have closed, westfield now owns the shopping centre as well as the inperial arcade, skygarden and the glasshouse and they are going to redevelop the lot - there were signs saying the tower will still be open but you wont be able to access it from centrepoint itself but from somewhere in market st
not sure if westfield owns the actual tower or not
@westyno6 The Twin Towers did.

This would have been far more difficult to build than the sydney harbour bridge, opera house, eureka tower and rialto towers.
Probably Australia's greatest ever engineering achievement, also given the year.

@jorologo yeh....well thats like so yuk. i had like nutri-grain and banana. omg like my breakfast is way better than yours.

@westyno6
Your Breakfast is not so bad.
The Banana is nutritional as it has plenty of potasium as much as mushrooms do.
But as for the nutri grain, that is loaded with lots of sugar and way high in calories.
You'd need to go for a power walk to burn off those high calories.

Good grief. I haven't heard that advertising jingle in 20 years lol.
You can go out on top and stand on a transparent platform that hangs over the edge. I did it in a gale force wind lol.

Can you still go up there? I hear a rumour it'd closed down.

Maybe you're thinking about Luna Park in Sydney. Sydney Tower has been open forever, and it makes a hell of a profit.
