A lot of it is still there, but sadly may soon become another casualty of "development". The beach and boardwalk are the same. Nathan's and Greg & Paul's are still there along with other stands, and the Cyclone and Wonder Wheel have been landmarked. The status for the 2009 season is uncertain, but I urge folks to support preservation and visit if you can. peace

I love footage of the late 30s and 40s. It looks like such a better time minus wwII

It was great until the end. I can't watch the part at 5:57 without thinking about poor Roy Horn.

Brings back great memories as a kid enjoying Coney Island, especially if I had enough money for Steeplechase Park with it's rotating barrel and especially the conical,wooden circular disc which you slid off as the speed increased. 1939-1943

The Barry Sisters {Clare & Merna}, 'Volentiru', who were a fixture on New York radio as much as Coney Island was at the time! |
