When Thor Equities, an infamous real-estate company, threatens to build condominiums on Coney Island's core amusements, Amos Wengler, the troubadour, must keep the spirit of Coney Island alive with a song before all the memories fade forever. The life, spirit and essence of Coney Island explode on the screen as the film explores the inner-dynamics of Coney Island's social life.

Save Coney Island is a verite documentary which follows Lola Staar, Dick Zigun, Amos Wengler, and Louis Scarcella during Coney Island's first annual last season.

Enjoy the trailer and check out the music video. http://www.youtube.com/user/chdny29

  • Im all for saving Coney Island and making something to be proud of once again, if thats possible. Ill cross my fingers, one can only have hope

  • People may think of Coney Island as fun in the sun. But the Mayor should think of it as a community that NEEDS jobs and affordable housing.

  • The last time I was in NYC I was strongly encouraged to stay away from coney island. Can anyone tell me if they would agree with that.

  • revitalize the coney that has been neglected for so so many years,the time is now to get things in order for the future of the peoplesplayground awaits us all,jobs,amusements and more jobs and build it union ,we care about the communities we live in and let the right people pave the way of the new improved coney island

  • That last message was for LucanWolf.

  • Just because people disagree with your myopic world view doesn't mean they aren't decent. Coney will stay the way it is because it is world famous. People come from all over the world to see coney like I did last month and leave with a great impression of it. It might be kitsch, but atleast it's authentic. Unlike the faceless condos you want to build.

    Hopefully the freeze in the credit markets will lock down your plans. And I do mean yours, as I am sure you are in cahoots with Thor.

  • Yeah motherfuckers KY is right! Yeah fuck yeah.

    Now all you liberal pot smoking slackers get the fuck outta Coney so we can have nice stuff there like TGIF and Olive Garden.

    Everyone of you protestors should be washing Joe Sitt's car and thanking him for being the great visionary he is.

    Now get back to your unemployemnt roll for the off season while you work your jobs under the table and don't declare your taxes you pot smoking long haired commies!

  • KY seems a bit schizophrenic. It's probably the moonshine.

  • KY is just the type of redneck that shouldn't be on the internet. Coney Island is THE only place for NYC families of all income brackets who want to take a vacation without busting the wallet. It's an institution, it's freaky, and, apparently, it's going away.

  • Man all the people on this post that like Coney Island are lame. Coney Island should be a lot more like Myrtle Beach. Lucan's right. Joe Sitt is fine. Who wants to eat hot dogs for money?
