Hundreds of visitors and staff at Sydney<\/a>‘s Luna Park were evacuated after the popular theme park received a mysterious ‘threat’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A police operation at the iconic harbourside landmark at Milson’s Point ended about 5pm Saturday, after dozens of people were seen exiting the venue.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The operation concluded without incident, with no threat to the public.<\/p>\n

‘There was a threat received but there was nothing to suggest it was legitimate,’ a NSW<\/a>\u00a0Police spokeswoman told Daily Mail.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘The area was evacuated as a precaution; however, all people have now returned.<\/p>\n

‘There is no threat to the community.’<\/p>\n

Visitors and staff spilled out into neighbouring parks and roads after they were ordered to evacuate.<\/p>\n

Photos showed confused visitors crowding around Milsons Point.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Police told Daily Mail a threat had been made against the park, but investigations suggested it was not legitimate<\/p>\n

Guests were left in the dark and later flooded Luna Park’s social media pages seeking a reason for the evacuation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Why has Luna Park been evacuated?’ a woman asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘When will we be able to get our car out of the car park?’ another added.<\/p>\n

‘We spent over $600 and got evacuated,’ a third said.<\/p>\n

‘Is there any chance we can get a credit to come back?’<\/p>\n

Daily Mail has contacted Luna Park for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
