@nostalgic_nyc: The iconic amusement park of Brooklyn that represents New York City history: Coney Island (Luna park). The amusement park has been around since 1903, but the original Coney Island resort and railway district was around prior to the making of the amusement park in the early 1800s. The most iconic ride known as The Cyclone was created in 1927 and serves as a staple for Luna parks most influential rides. To add on, Nathan’s is also a popular food spot that has opened and been standing on Coney Island grounds since 1916. During 1944, fires burnt many of the rides in which renovations had to be made. #fyp #xyzbca #coneyisland #viral #Brooklyn

I was born in Arecibo , Puerto Rico we moved to Bklyn Coney Island when I was a 5 year child today I’m 63 . We almost lived every other few blocks . My parents moved a lot because there was more kids was five sisters and I still love Coney Island to this day. The boardwalk is beautiful the rides everything you gotta we learned to swim because beach was just 2 block away and we did fishing on the pier with our Dad .
