There are some grand plans for Coney Island, the famed Brooklyn beach that rests comfortably in New York City lore. Check out what Thor Equities have in store for the sacred spot. (they better not fuck with Nathans!)
First a little education....Coney Island.
Now here is Thor's website with loose plans to turn Coney Island into a resort town.
The Future of Coney Island
Plans of resorts and crap
It's a huge story here because even though it was a rundown piece of shit place to be it was everyone's childhood memory of an amusement park. When I was a kid we went there, when my father was a kid he went there and when his father was a kid he wished he went there!
I'm a little skeptic of course but what ca i do? I don't have 1.6 billion dollars to stop it so I can only hope they don't fuck it up.
Glad they are keeping the Cyclone running though. Gonna have to hop on that thing for old times sake. If I die on it, so be it.

the cyclone was a very bumpy coaster last time i went on it... i think it was '86 or '87.... i felt like my insides were still shaking around an hour after the ride.... i really hope they don't mess with nathans
it's so old and it's all wooden
you could easily die on it
MMMM. Nathan's.
I suddenly have a craving for a chilli Dog...HMMMM
Now if they could just get that Assbury Park, N.J. Revitalization Committee going...
My parents always took me to Avalon as a child. I try and make it down to the Outer Banks every year now ... much more peaceful.
