What are the names of the three amusement parks operated at Coney Island New York?
To my knowledge, there have been four amusement parks on Coney Island, not three: Dreamland, Luna Park, Steeplechase Park, and Astroland. Steeplechase burned down in 1907; Dreamland burned down in 1911; Luna Park burned down in 1944. Astroland was the last amusement park in operation on Coney Island. It opened in 1962. But over the winter of 2009 to 2010, Astroland was torn down and rebuilt. It has been renamed Luna Park, in honor of the old Luna Park. The new Luna Park opened in May 2010. See the Related Link below for an excellent website on Coney Island's history, including a Timeline of major events.
Is New York city a peninsula or island?
No, Coney Island is not an island, although it once was. Now it is a peninsula. It was only separated from the rest of Long Island by a narrow creek, called Coney Island Creek. The center of the creek (the part that separated Coney Island from mainland Long Island) was filled in sometime in the early 20th century, turning Coney Island into a peninsula.

Why is Coney Island called Coney Island?
There are three etymologies. First it may have something to do with the Coney- spelled the same way, a type of short-eared rabbit-like animal. 2. and this is probably most accurate, a corruption of the Dutch meaning approximately ( King"s Island) or Royal, Kingly, Island) ( Koninglink or something like that) as Brooklyn is known as Kings County- and the park is part of Brooklyn, this seems to hold water. lll. acronym for City Of New York- CONY that does not explain the (E) in Coney but is pronounced the same. take your pick. I"ll say explanations one and two have it nailed down. 3 is at best , based on chance lettering on subway cars ( City of New York over the doors) and chance similarity- like the folk etymology about Wampum ( Indian word for Money) derived from mispronunciation of Wm.Penn as one word- try it! Wemm-Penn- Wampun! it gets you over the shakes, I suppose. (Penn was famed Quaker).
