You're not very old are you? Most of Coney island's tradition was torn down by the 1950s. I was there in 1974 and I thought it was exceedingly awesome. Although the fun house did smell a little like pee. LOL. I didn't ride any rides (not my thing, sorry), but I loved just walking around and looking at the kitchy buildings and just enjoying the place. I also loved it that you could actually buy a BEER there, which most theme parks do not offer. Em ----- When in trouble or in doubt, Run in circles, scream and shout. |

Not much really has changed. But it's worth a day to visit it and get out of Manhattan. Coney Island is the working man's day at the beach. I went on a saturday and saw many families taking the kids and beach chairs, coolers, etc. for a day at the beach. The amusement area was okay, the kids enjoyed it and the prices for the rides and food were reasonable. Pan |
