coneyrat Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Does anyone know where I can find a copy of CONEY ISLAND: RELIVE THE MAGIC ? I've tried PBS, CET, the Library and I've searched all over on the net but so far I've had no luck. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks coneyrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOB_TOM Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Is it a book, publication, or movie? I have something on Coney, a book that remembers the old Coney, but I dont know offhand if its the same thing you are looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 I believe that he is referring to the PBS special that featured Coney and was made in the late 80`s. If I remember correctly, it starred Nick Clooney as the narrator. Not sure where you`ll be able to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upstop Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Coney Island actually sells both a book and dvd in the park museum. You should check out the museum the next time you are there It is really neat seeing some of the postcards, tickets and pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coneyrat Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Yes, "Relive the Magic" is a PBS produced special that was made back in the 80's. I do remember seeing several channel 12 personalities. Before posting my original message, I contacted PBS and they referred me to CET. CET is aware of the special but they say that they are not licensed to distribute. Media outlets like Amazon do not carry the special, same goes for the local library. I plan on checking out what Coney Island has for sale in their local shop. I did recently purchase "GREETINGS FROM CONEY ISLAND, CINCINNATI" and I have to say that it is worth checking out if you haven't seen it. It's got tons of old footage and it covers the major changes in the park over the years. I'm not sure if it's available locally but I do know it can be purchased from the address below http://members.aol.com/taymed/catalog.htm TYP Distributors 1218 East Main Street New Albany, IN 47150 coneyrat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotank Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 It has been a while since anyone has posted on Relive the Magic? I have also struck out. Does anyone have it? pilotank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jandyb79 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 It has been a while since anyone has posted on Relive the Magic? I have also struck out. Does anyone have it? pilotank I began searching for this video back in 1999 and occasionally ask about it when I meet up with old friends from the park. Tom Rhein who now oversees most of Riverbends operations is the person to ask. He advised me to contact PBS in 2000, yet I yielded similar results to those of you who have searched for this documentary. The Tim Young video is an excellent alternative. I own both the vhs and dvd formats of this film. The dvd offers additional fortage from the modern Coney era as well as additional commentaries from Vic Nolting - the parks general manager. ~Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
