CoastersRZ Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 I was there a few weeks back and absolutely loved it. The detail they put into this exhibit was simply amazing. I seem to recall hearing that they spent about $100,000 on the Coney display! 5 Quote
sikkinixx99 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Amazing!! Where is this at? Is it at the Train station thing near downtown Cincy? I'm in Columbus,IN But go to a few Reds games each season. Quote
CoastersRZ Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 EnterTRAINment Junction is located right off of I-75 at Tylersville Road in West Chester, OH. It is roughly thirty minutes (depending on traffic) from downtown Cincinnati. 4 Quote
medford Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 ^^^ I was told by one of the employees that it ran around $100,000 to finish off the coney mall exhibit, their most expensive "project" to date. The place is pretty impressive overall. 5 Quote
BlondyRidesOn Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 I literally stay up there for almost my entire visit there each time I go. It's just impressive. 1 Quote
westcoaster Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 This display of original coney island is incredible! Quote
shark6495 Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 The whole place is incredible. When my little guy is a bit older we will be getting a season pass... 1 Quote
elyk Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Isn't there also a model of Coney Island at the Children's Museum? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free Quote
jandyb79 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Posted November 26, 2013 Additional pics of the layout. Looks like they added the Wild Mouse after the video was shot: http://www.entertrainmentjunction.com/cincinnati_model_trains/photos_coney-island 2 Quote
pilotank Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Isn't there also a model of Coney Island at the Children's Museum? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk - now Free It's actually on the other side of Union Terminal, on the way to the riverboat. pilotank Quote
Thrill_Biscuit Posted November 27, 2013 Posted November 27, 2013 Dang! Someone out there is livin' my dream! This re-creation is Awesometacular! 4 Quote
flightoffear1996 Posted November 28, 2013 Posted November 28, 2013 That looks amazing. It might actually get me into the door to check out. 1 Quote
GamesAndRides Posted December 2, 2013 Posted December 2, 2013 I want this in my house. Now. If this models gone tomorrow, Dont ask me 1 Quote
westcoaster Posted December 3, 2013 Posted December 3, 2013 Yes I liked the one at Union Terminal, but I hear the one at the Junction is so much more detailed. Also who knows in 50 to 100 years what today's Coney will look like? A blast from the past I can only hope: Quote
thunderbeast1968 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I love that model. I wish that I could build something like that. I have little or no talent, when it comes to making a model from scratch, let alone a working model. Quote
jandyb79 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 I took a few videos during my visit last week. I had a great time and encourage anyone who has not yet gone to EJ to stop by and check it out! If the videos do not appear, let me know and I'll attach a direct link. 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I'd love to see the videos, but none of them work on this iPhone..odd--since an image appears. Click on the image, a new window loads and....nothing. Are they flash, by chance? Quote
jcgoble3 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 I'd love to see the videos, but none of them work on this iPhone..odd--since an image appears. Click on the image, a new window loads and....nothing. Are they flash, by chance? Yes, they are Flash. Photobucket is a pretty poor place to host videos because of their limited storage (2 GB) and bandwidth (10 GB/month) for free users, and even Plus users have limited storage (varies with amount paid) and limits on video length (10 minutes) and file size (500 MB). All photo-hosting sites I've seen have many limits on videos (Flickr, for instance, limits them to 3 minutes long). Videos really should be uploaded to a dedicated video-hosting site such as YouTube, which enforces no bandwidth, storage, length*, or file size* restrictions and uses HTML5 on browsers that support it instead of Flash. *although uploading videos longer than 15 minutes or larger than 1 GB requires a one-time account confirmation code to be sent to your cell phone 1 Quote
jandyb79 Posted December 4, 2013 Author Posted December 4, 2013 Let me try that again with direct links. Maybe this will work a little better. http://s26.photobucket.com/user/jandyb79/media/IMG_2867.mp4.html http://s26.photobucket.com/user/jandyb79/media/IMG_2868.mp4.html http://s26.photobucket.com/user/jandyb79/media/IMG_2878.mp4.html http://s26.photobucket.com/user/jandyb79/media/IMG_2860.mp4.html Quote
jcgoble3 Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 ^ That still won't help Terpy, because the video player uses Adobe Flash and he's on an iPhone, which does not support Flash. You need to upload the videos to a site that does not use Flash for its player, such as YouTube. Quote
malem Posted December 4, 2013 Posted December 4, 2013 ^^ Those links go to the same place as your original picture links. ^^^ & ^ Photobucket does link directly to the raw video, which allows shared videos to be downloaded or played on any device. Many video sharing sites (try to) restrict this. Here are direct links that should work on any device: http://i26.photobucket.com/download-albums/c124/jandyb79/IMG_2867.mp4 http://i26.photobucket.com/download-albums/c124/jandyb79/IMG_2868.mp4 http://i26.photobucket.com/download-albums/c124/jandyb79/IMG_2878.mp4 http://i26.photobucket.com/download-albums/c124/jandyb79/IMG_2860.mp4 1 Quote

XGatorHead 8904 Posted December 6, 2013 Posted December 6, 2013 We took GatorGirl and her second cousin from Florida to EnterTrainment Junction the day after Thanksgiving. Being the enthusiast that she is, GatorGirl was enthralled with the Coney Island display. She turned to me and said, "I wish someone could just make us small so we can ride those rides!" I just had to say, "Me too." Kudos to the staff who put together and maintain this wonderful display, as well as all the other displays there! 8 Quote
