Coney Island is great. We went there as part of our honeymoon back in 2000 and loved it. I’m guessing the closed-down amusement park isn’t there anymore. I know the overgrown wooden roller coaster burned down. Those were our favorite parts, but we also enjoyed the overall weirdness. Totally worth the very long subway ride from Brooklyn.
Edit: This was what the roller coaster looked like. Is that awesome or what?

Is that the Cyclone? If so it’s still there. I can confirm it’s super fun with just the right amount of “is this safe?”.
No, it’s not, but it didn’t burn down like I thought, which is so weird because I swear I remember seeing a news report with a video of the fire…

I missed my chance to ride the Cyclone.
I’m way too tall now.
