You can still make the trip to Coney Island this summer and enjoy what it has to offer. Cyclone, the famous roller coaster, kicks off its 2009 season on April 5th and the first 100 people in line will be treated to a free ride. The opening day festivities begin at noon with Miss Cyclone and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz breaking a bottle of authentic Brooklyn chocolate egg cream against the coaster’s lead car. After riding on the coaster, maybe stop by the beach or visit the aquarium (it’s still there!).

Markowitz is going to break a bottle(!!!) of eggcream on the front car? How authentic. It really is time for Marty to go.
Coney Island USA is still running the freak show, among other things…
I been meaning to go into coney island and pick up a nathans hotdog and a bag of heroin.
Just to ensure that the awful, rotten dairy smell gets its start on day 1. By the first warm weekend, the smell will be in its full glory.
Also the wonder wheel and Dino’s kiddie park next to it.
Nice pic.
I could do without the symbolism and just enjoy it for what it is.
