  • This once nice play-area for the hard working people of NYC is now a slum loaded with the coloreds and spics.....oh, and chinks, too.

  • You know, you tube takes HD video. You should upload in HD even if the original footage isn't great. It would still look better than this.

  • Incredible piece of history here... thank you for sharing this.

    

  • WARRIORS COME OUT TO PLAY-AYYYY

  • @kennydale I was 5 & I shit myself

  • @Chrisdrumz you still dont go to coney island at night i used to be there in the early 80s and it was filled with drugs and crime

  • wow i remember the submarine...i was like 4 i was scared shit

  • Thanks for posting this! My dad hung out there in the 30s and 40s, Took my older siblings there in the mid 50s. This is the time I remember,in the 70s, This place was rough by then. as long as you stayed in the amusement area you were ok. But getting to the subway could be an adventure.

  • iam so glad that they are takin out all the thugs outta there and rebuilding coney island.

  • Coney Island at this time was a place you WOULD NOT go to at night. A very dangerous place. I was born in Flatbush in 1971 and lived in Brooklyn until we moved to Staten Island in '79,but Coney Island was a place my parents drilled into my head as being a totally horrible,dangerous place. Ironic,cause both of them went all the time when they were kids. I finally went in the summer of '84 and I was like "Huh? This place is cool." Of course it was during the day!
