Funtime is an amusement ride manufacturer based in Bundall, Australia. The company manufactures rides such as the Sling Shot, Star Flyer and Vomatron.
In 1998, Funtime was established in the suburb of Bundall on the Gold Coast, Australia. Shortly after, the company opened a small amusement park in Surfers Paradise, a nearby Gold Coast suburb. At the time, the amusement park was known as Adrenalin Park and featured the company's Sling Shot and Vomatron rides.
In 2010, Funtime threatened legal action against Dutch amusement ride manufacturer, Mondial, after that company unveiled the WindSeeker which bears similarities to Funtime's patented Star Flyer ride. Mondial responded to the threat by stating that "there is no merit to Funtime's claim". The matter did not progress.
Funtime operates a small amusement park in the centre of Surfers Paradise, aptly named Funtime. The park features installations of their Sling Shot and Vomatron rides. The park was previously known as Adrenalin Park and featured several other rides and attractions including an Intamin Parachute Drop tower, a mini golf course and a bungy tower.
