IndyGuy4KI Posted Thursday at 12:49 AM Share Posted Thursday at 12:49 AM Before it closes forever, I went to EnterTRAINment Junction today. I wanted to document the Coney Island Display. Here is the KIC gallery of the photos. https://kicentral.com/photos/coney-island-display-entertrainment-junction Here is also the video I took. I also added the WinterFest Eiffel Tower display as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was very sad to see the train was not on the track. Maybe it was not certified yet for the new year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnjniehaus Posted Thursday at 06:41 PM Share Posted Thursday at 06:41 PM I would love to see the Coney display find a new home inside a Kings Island restaurant or a gift shop however that'll never be the case. Second best would be if jungle Jim's acquired it and kept it on display to the public. If course union terminal has a Coney display but I think the one at entertrainment junction is slightly bigger and better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, you will be disappointed to learn that the Coney section will be transported along with the rest of the display down to Chattanooga.

While I don't see how Coney Island has much nostalgic connection for the folks in Chattanooga, I am glad it's finding a new home vs just vanishing into history without a trace.

OverlandTaxis30 Posted Friday at 12:06 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:06 AM For what it is worth, the Chattanooga area has already got a piece of Coney Island history. The Lake Winnepesaukah amusement park in nearby Rossville GA, has one of the original Coney Island and Lake Como railroad trains. Engine #35. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
