homestar92 Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 I was just wondering if anyone had photos of some of the rides that were moved over from Coney, from when they were at Coney. I have a friend who is interested in finding some photos of our Scrambler from when it sat at Coney Island. Can anyone provide such photos? I checked Coney Island Central and found some, but unfortunately, none of Scrambler. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Grab a copy of the book Goodbye, Coney Island, Goodbye by Paul Ilyinksy and Dick Perry. Among the numerous gems in that book is a two-page photo of Scrambler from the late 60s or early 70s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen it since I checked it out of the library at my grade school. Anyone know where I can find a copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Yes. Someone knows. jcgoble3, channeling his inner Terpy (More seriously, I would start by checking your local library. I found it at my local library—Greene County Public Library—but it's not available for checkout or through interlibrary loan.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wish I could have visited Coney in its heyday. My dad has a copy of that book and it's long been a favorite of mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
