The famed amusement park by the shore is still going strong,despite attempts to change its character. When i was a kid,my father would take me on the rides on the last day before summer vacation.The carousel, Wonder Wheel, and The famous Cyclone, which I never rode again since my father took me on it the first time. Nathan's franks are pure heaven, and I still go there occasionally for lunch.People who visit here wonder what the fuss is about, it just has a real New York feel and mystique.

I feel like it could be really awesome if this footage was set to Bibio's - Oval Emerald Vertigo

If you go there today, Coney Island has been partly turned into a cesspool full of Obnoxious ghetto people and alot of Ignorant troublemakers, even alot of the folks operating the rides and games have disgusting attitudes! There's VERY little "charm" left unfortunately.

those pinheads were still alive in the '70s. Saw one of them at Gt. Barrington Race Track, 1978.

The Barry Sisters sing it in Yiddish and
English. Yiddish includes many words
in hebrew, and slight variations of
german words.

No Steeplechase Park? Too early?

The video was too large to upload in YOUTUBE.
This one is an intro. There are two more videos,
including steeplechase Park. Look for CONEY
ISLAND Part 1 and Part 2. Click on my name
and all my videos will appear.
