Coney Island has been closed since 1964.

Realistically, between $260.00 and $375.00 depending on condition, box, parts included. Have seen it for as high at $600.00 but I believe that's a rip off.

Yes, they do. The last time I went to it was 5 years ago (summer of 2005), but according to Coney Island's official website, the Coney Island Circus Sideshow is still running this year, 2010.

Be warned, though: it's not a particularly exciting freak show. It's definitely nothing like the freak shows in the old days. They only have a couple of performers, and none of them are "real" freaks (you know, like, the bearded lady, Siamese twins, the mermaid lady). None of them are deformed.

Instead, they do tricks. There's one guy who swallows fire and escapes from a straightjacket in 2 minutes. There's a guy who lays on a bed of nails while people jump up and down on him, or put heavy blocks of concrete on him. Then there's a tattooed lady, and this really weird old guy from Brooklyn who acts as an MC (Master of Ceremonies).

It only costs $5, so, it's not like you get ripped off. But it's not like, something you just CAN'T miss.

When I was there, the freak show was located just inside the main entrance to the park, on the right side. But according to the second Related Link (see below) the freak show has moved this year.

You have to find a private buss line or metro north so you can be near the D train in fordham road and the D train will take straight over there.

They are right next to each other. Brighton Beach is the neighborhood east of Coney Island. If you walk east on the boardwalk from Coney Island, you end up on Brighton Beach.

Coney Island is 10 to 11 miles from the East Side of Lower Manhattan (the City Hall area). It's about 10.5 miles from City Hall. The City Hall area is about a mile from the tip of Lower Manhattan, and Manhattan is 13.4 miles long and 2.3 miles wide at its widest point.

So it would be up to 25 miles from the Inwood neighborhood (at the northern tip of Manhattan), and somewhere between 10 and 25 miles from any point in between City Hall and Inwood.

Yes, there are quite a few new rides opening for the 2011 season at Coney Island's Luna Park. There are a few new roller coasters (the first new ones Coney Island has had since the Cyclone opened in 1927) and there is a whole new area of the park called the Scream Zone.

See the Related Link below for the Luna Park website. There are two links from the home page to the Scream Zone section: either click the text link near the top, right side, next to the links to "Job Opportunities," "Webcam," and "Contact Us." There're also six large icons you can click on in the middle of the page. Click the top left one ("ARE YOU READY TO SCREAM? DISCOVER THE BRAND NEW THRILL PARK, SCREAM ZONE AT CONEY ISLAND").

They also have photos, descriptions and height requirements for all of their rides. Scroll to the bottom, left side, under the Park Map section. You'll see the heading, "Attractions," and three links below it: High Thrill, Moderate Thrill and Mild Thrill.

The same as the rest of New York: a melting pot. Mostly whites, blacks, and Latinos, but also Asians and Middle Easterners. There are a lot of Russians, too, since Brighton Beach (the biggest Russian neighborhood in the city) is just a mile down the boardwalk from Coney Island.

Coney Island attracts a more working-class crowd, since New Yorkers who can afford it go to the beaches on Long Island, Fire Island, the Hamptons, and Cape Cod. All it costs to go to the beach at Coney Island is a subway ride. And it's not just a beach; there's an amusement park with rides and games as well.

One of the best things about Coney Island is the food. They have regular boardwalk and amusement park food: corn on the cob, fried shrimp, fried clams, hot dogs, cotton candy, etc. But the very best thing is these Mexican taco carts. I've never seen these taco carts anywhere but Coney Island, and they have the best tacos ever, with all homemade ingredients.

Basically, it's a happy, well-fed crowd. Occasionally you meet some sketchy, creepy people, but for the most part it's pretty safe.

Donna Coney Island was born on September 8, 1961, in East Orange, New Jersey, USA.

Coney I-Lander was created in 1926.

in a year they would make like over a million dollars :)

Titan Light Shows does the Coney Island Light Show. It takes 9 months of planning. There are over a million LED lights.

The ride was 65 feet tall. It no longer exists.

The Parachute Ride in Coney Island closed down with the rest of the park in 1964. It was designated a city landmark in 1977. Then the city changed its mind about the status, and talked about demolishing it again. But in 1989, the city again made it a city landmark. In 1993, it was repainted. The city talked about remodeling the ride and did add lighting to the tower.

My guess: Brooklyn Union Gas used to have a large gasometer on the shore of Coney Island Creek until the early 1970s.

It means that you have little short curly hair like in the 80's. Their perhaps trying to say it in a nice way.

There have been few sharks spotted at Coney Island Beach, which is the resort district of Brooklyn, New York, on the Atlantic Ocean. However, the rest of Long Island (east of Lower Bay) has reported sharks, although in some cases only well offshore. This is likely due to the poor water quality. In 2007, a swimmer carried a baby shark back out to sea after it became lost along the beach.

In 2012, the New York Museum at Coney island announced plans for a new shark exhibit complete with a huge new glass saltwater tank.

No, Coney Island is in Brooklyn. Brooklyn is one of the five boroughs of New York City (Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island). New York City is in New York State.

This is an invented term from Eloisa James's book "Kiss Me, Annabel." The book is, roughly, a Regency period romance and in it a Scottish earl uses the slang term "coney" (meaning rabbit or hare, but also slang during that time for more intimate parts) to make up a term alluding to oral sex in order to shock a young woman back into propriety. During the Notes for the book, James mentions the term is something she invented for the book but where the root of it (coney) comes from.
