A review of this place: Not what I expected

I would go just to say that I went. It was not what I expected. The rides are old and look beaten up. I wouldn’t go at night alone or with a small number of people (four or more is better). I guess it’s good if:
1. you want to say you’ve been there
2. you don’t have a major amusement park near you (like six flags or larger)
3. you can’t make it to a cleaner beach.

In Brooklyn

Used to live close to Coney Island so visiting Coney Island was always fun.

Oh, I almost fell out of their archaic coaster once (no worries, its now closed…. Or so have I heard :-)

I do like Coney Island. The best is the Mermaid Parade! Wow! Take your camera. The Cyclone just feels too bumpy and dangerous to me, but if you’re feeling adventurous…and the other rides, it feels like the operators are just trying to make you throw up. But the beach is pretty nice. And I love the Wonder Wheel.

C I Baby!

Raised from the boondocks of CI. Cyclone kicks ass. Someone please take me to the Hot Dog contest and the Mermaid Parade. Yes, I’ve never been during my 20+ years residency!

A review of this place

I went to coney island during the mermaid parade. it was amazing and i felt totally safe, perhaps because of the giant crowd of wacky fun loving freaks.. definately a great time to go!

"WARRIORS, COME OUT AND..." -- well, you know the rest.

That aside—it was an unsurprisingly hot and muggy summer day when a bunch of us went for a visit, and we liked it v. much, because there were a couple of good beachside bars with wide open areas to crash out on chairs and cool down while listening to Journey and Milli Vanilli (why yes we were controlling the jukebox, thanks very much).

kinda touristy, kinda dangerous if you’re alone, sketchy people. but i just keep coming back. the cyclone is a must. even if you’re terrified, just do it. it’s a great story to tell people. coney island is a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle. it has a nostalgic feel to it.

The first time I went to this place

Finally went there on Friday after living in NYC for 10 years. Not a bad beach, not too crowded, the water is not too cold. And the amusement park was good for my 2 year old – the only way to get her out of the water was to tell her that they had a merry-go-round over there.
