The Interpreter Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Thank you, thank you, thank you! Three things: a. I have three nickels. Can I ride the Wild Cat? Pretty Please? b. My memories of Shooting Star are confirmed yet again. Bunny hill after bunny hill, all filled with air. c. NAD's??? Wowsers. I suppose they were on Wild Cat. Does anyone KNOW? Quote
CoastersRZ Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Well, Raptor already posted a link to that footage in this thread. And I have seen those historical photos before. That site has some nice and unique photos of Coney on it in its glory years. Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Yes, and I watched it then, too! Still, I wonder... Quote
markr Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 How I loved the Cuddle Up. Why oh why KI did you have to remove the Cuddle Up? Quote
pilotank Posted September 29, 2008 Posted September 29, 2008 Just thought I'd pass these links along.............. Coneyrat Thanks, that is great! You can see the locks or dam(?) crossing the Ohio river at the 00:25 mark during the aerial portion of the video. pilotank Quote
coneyrat Posted September 29, 2008 Author Posted September 29, 2008 I didn't realize the links had already been posted. Oh well, I guess they are worth a second look. If you take a look at coaster1robert's website (http://coaster1robert.tripod.com/id42.html) he mentions that he has high resolution Coney pics available to anyone who wants them. I've e-mailed him several times to get copies but never heard back from him. Maybe one of you will have some luck if you're interested in getting the high res pics Quote
CoastersRZ Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 I too have sent numerous requests to him via email inquiring if he would be willing to share the high res pictures with Coney Central. And I have not, as of yet, ever received a response back from him. Quote
The Interpreter Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 ^^^ What he said...and for quite some time here. Terpy, who thought at first it was just him... Quote
Beast1979 Posted September 30, 2008 Posted September 30, 2008 Coney looked so nice back then, great pictures. What I wouldn't do to visit that place once..... Quote
pilotank Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 Found another you-tube video of Coney Island history: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-N1Fb-YEic...feature=related pilotank Quote
CoastersRZ Posted October 1, 2008 Posted October 1, 2008 I don`t have much respect for that last youtube video, simply because they cruised Google gathering images of Coney. They do not give proper credit to where they were pulling their images from. Speaking from past experience, it is not fun to realize that pictures you own appear on other websites without your permission. And professionally speaking, taking others work and claiming it as your own is plagiarizing. Plagiarism is a very serious ethical problem, and any work that is not your own which you do not site is considered plagiarism and failing work. Quote
