. The Coney Island Cyclone may be getting some competition. The NY Post reports that city officials want a new roller coaster added to the destination spot. That would be just one of many new amusements if a city-appointed panel gets their wish list. "The panel said 12 acres along the fabled boardwalk is sufficient space to build 30 new major amusements, including a roller coaster with a drop tower, water rides, a House of Horror, other thrill rides, and rides suitable for kids." And, uh oh, the panel also said that the city shouldn't get stuck on preserving artifacts from the historic Coney, but rather come up with ways to entice visitors. Still, might be better than leaving much of the area vacant as Thor Equities Joe Sitt and the city have their little turf war.

They *had* another coaster. It was called the Thunderbolt. Maybe you remember it from Annie Hall. It was a great relic, at least until Giuliani unceremoniously tore it down early one morning in the fall of 2000.
But a nice new shiney one would be teh awesome.
"but rather come up with ways to entice visitors." Free blow jobs?
Come on people. Coney Island does not need another roller coaster.
"a city-appointed panel" says it all.
you'd like that from a young boy snoppy- your Bi- right?
some one told me about you.
Do you have a name and number you can attach to your reference? I would really like to meet that same person and tell him, he or she, that they are totally full of shit. After that I will buy them a beer and when they are finished with same, smack them over their head with the empty bottle, and then kick them under the bar like Joe Pesci did in "Casino."
Capesce?
How about repairing and reopening the Parachute Jump instead? Wouldn't it be better to actually use that than just have it sit around as decoration? I'm sure a good engineering firm could bring it up to any applicable current safety codes.

no more Pay One Price, goodbye Coney Island.
