Kids who have been through cancer treatment or are still battling the disease enjoyed a terrific day at Scenic World on Monday, squealing to the thrill of the rides under a perfect blue sky.
Seventy Camp Quality children and their families were invited to the tourist destination to mark its 70th birthday.
Cara Woods, from Camp Quality, said it was a welcome break from difficult times for so many.
"It's a great way for families to put cancer on the back seat and just have a good day out. It's a dose of normality for them."
Anthea Hammon, joint managing director, said the staff were almost as excited as the children.
"Everyone's been looking forward to this day for weeks," she said.
To continue the good cheer, for the duration of the spring school holidays for every child who visits the Blue Mountains attraction, Scenic World will donate $1 to Camp Quality to assist in delivering support programs for kids living with cancer.
To ensure all families can join the party, Scenic World will also be offering free entry for the first 70 guests arriving onsite on Monday, September 21, the first day of the holidays.
Ms Hammon, who runs the attraction with her brother, David, said acknowledging the last 70 years was a very proud anniversary for the family-owned tourism business.
"Seventy years ago our grandfather opened Scenic World, inspired by the curiosity of visitors to the Blue Mountains and the steep railway into the rainforest. This celebration is all about an experience which continues to delight hundreds of thousands of visitors annually from across Australia and overseas," she said.
David Hammon said they have opened up Scenic World to Camp Quality families in the past.
"These occasions have always been special for the families and our staff, it was important to our team that we include Camp Quality in our 70th birthday celebrations," he said.
