the whole fiasco is one giant clusterf**k of Lets Re-invent the Wheel type of thing. it sucks i rarely went to coney island except for the mermaid parade and the siren festivals for the most part, but i went this summer to really experience it all and i wish i had gone more. grr

If that’s supposed to be Keyspan park, they are going to have to do a lot of wishing. for starters, The Brooklyn Wall of Remembrance is on the side of Keyspan park, with the laser engraved portraits of all the first responders who died on 9-11. The whole let’s make Coney Island into the new disney is upsetting.
Rob- that was greatly funny!
Whats with the “Some Goirls” cover art on the side of the arena? How random. I guess this is what a designer in their late 50s considers “hip”.
I second the hovercraft parking lot!
it irks me looking at all these imagine coney pictures cuz we all know it won’t look anything like them. coney island should have been left how it was with just minor renovations for safety. the place is probably going to sit dormant for the next 10 years now. idiotic planning and greed. hey why not turn it into a crazy town international space station with an area 51 themed park. and a big giant roller rink. let’s throw in a couple of pools that are 3x the size of mccarren park. and lets make 200 condos, half of which will be affordable. can we also make 5 golf courses, a neon lit outside bowling rink, 4 drive in movie theatres, an annex for manhattans madame toussad’s wax museum with a move-able size that will get you from coney island to midtown manhattan. 40000 square feet for a hovercraft parking lot, a new cemetary, Central Park 2.0, a statue of bayridge girl, how about a nice big grain silo so some of the midwestern transplants can feel at home? and i want a giant water slide. actually no a giant jello slide, and a hooters restaurant.
