  • The warriors

  • @69moondog69 I finally got round to watching 'The Warriors'. Great film! Thanks for the tip!

  • @MrRik2 wow after nine months to look back at our conversation about this feels like last week, glad you enjoyed it m8 its one of my favorite films, hope everything is going ok in new york, keep in touch

  • @69moondog69 Haha, it does! You'll be pleased to hear that the park at Coney (including The Cyclone and the Wonder Wheel) is up and running again. It was reopened this summer under a new/old name "Luna Park" and it's looking quite nice.

    The other thing about watching the film was that I now understand all the samples and stuff in PWEI's "Can U Dig It?". It's only taken me 21 years :)

see all

  • I'm from Sheffield, originally but was in Leeds for a while. where are you? I moved here to get married. Coney Island is actually in New York City, at the very far southern tip of Brooklyn. From Grand Central, it would maybe take 45 minutes on the subway. Not very far at all! I have some pictures that I took on a couple of occasions I was there (one of which was the day I shot this bit of film). I'll have to dig them out and send them to you. Rik

  • @69moondog69 ran out of characters lol

    Thank u very much Mark

  • @MrRik2 Wow were abouts did u live in the UK and what made u wanna move to america if u dont mind me asking,

    It would be a shame to lose something so memorable i hope that wonder wheel and other things are still there for when i visit when my children have grown up a little.

    I know america is a huge place, how far is new york from coney island i could look on google earth but o well im sure u know. i was just wondering if u have any decent pictures from the place u might have could u send them

  • Oh cool. I've never heard of the film - I'll have to give it a go as I love Coney Island. I'm from the UK too (now living in New York). Coney Island is, sadly, a bit in limbo at the moment since Astroland closed last year. The Cyclone and the Wonder Wheel are still going and there is a popular movement to get the place suitably revived and developed and not allowed to be destroyed by evil money-hungry developers like Thor Equities.

  • @MrRik2 hahah sorry m8, this is one place i wanna visit in my life as i am from the UK. Coney island is on the film The Warriors which was made in the late 70s, i enjoy watching old films to see what things were like back then, watch it my friend its a great film. Thanks for the upload

  • Please explain.
