Amusement History

Welcome to Coney Island. As I walk this boardwalk, I can't help but wonder how it felt to be in this place in its prime. The boardwalks filled with people and the beaches just the same. Everyone coming here as a way to relax and enjoy the New York summer heat. Women testing the water in suits that showed skin (a shock at the turn of the 20th century), hotdogs at Nathan's, a ride on the Wonderwheel and later the Cyclone. Awww, the excitement.








The Cyclone. World's Fastest Roller Coster 1927-1972.
