Nothing Last Forever - Coney Island

If Paris is France,
CONEY ISLAND, between June and Sept,
is THE WORLD.

Coney Island will be demolished to make way for new constructions with the exception of a few landmark pieces. Steven and I decided to take a train ride out there to catch a glimpse of the past glory of this historic amusement park.

Lamarcus Thompson's Switchback Railroad was the world's first roller coaster - 1884.
