This is a newsreel from 1940. It can be purchased at http://www.coneyisland.com in the giftshop section or if you're visiting Coney Island buy it at the Coney Island Museum or Sideshow.
This was great.. It brought back so many memories to me. My family, mother, aunts, cousins and I used to go to Coney in the morning, stay on the beach all day and go to Luna Park at night which was like a lit up fairyland to us kids in 1940. I remembered all those rides and really enjoyed this video.

Yeah I love Coney Island myself,
When ever I get up to New York I always go by there,
I just love the history of the place,
They still have one of the only remaining sideshows in the country there,
I just hope it never becomes a victim of gentrification.

Yeah I love Coney Island myself, I always get up there whenever I get up to New York,
They still have the Freak Show up there,
I really hope Coney never gets totally gentrified.
