type_icon nythroughthelens: The Parachute Jump also known as the Eiffel Tower of Brooklyn. Coney Island, New York City. Buy “Parachute Jump, Coney Island at Sunset” Posters and Prints here, email me, or ask me for help. One of my favorite views of the Parachute Jump is at sunset standing on the Steeplechase Pier. The pier extends a nice distance out into the Atlantic Ocean and is a popular fishing spot. You can catch fluke, bluefish and bass off the pier. People also dive into the ocean from the pier even though there are tons of signs telling people not to jump :).

type_icon nythroughthelens: The beach at Coney Island. Brooklyn, New York City. There is nothing quite like the view of the Wonder Wheel and the Cyclone roller coaster all lit up with the ocean and the beach in the foreground. Nothing. “Between about 1880 and World War II, Coney Island was the largest amusement area in the United States, attracting several million visitors per year. At its height it contained three competing major amusement parks, Luna Park, Dreamland, and Steeplechase Park, as well as many independent amusements. Astroland served as a major amusement park from 1962 to 2008, and was replaced by a new incarnation of Dreamland in 2009 and of Luna Park in 2010. The other parks and attractions include Deno’s Wonder Wheel Amusement Park, 12th Street Amusements, and Kiddie Park, while the Eldorado Arcade has an indoor bumper car ride. On April 20, 2011, the first new roller coasters to be built at Coney Island in eighty years were opened as part of efforts to reverse the decline of the amusement area. Wonder Wheel – built in 1918 and opened in 1920, this steel Ferris wheel has both stationary cars and rocking cars that slide along a track. It holds 144 riders, stands 150 ft (46 m) tall, and weighs over 2,000 tons. At night the Wonder Wheel’s steel frame is outlined and illuminated by neon tubes. It is located at Deno’s Wonder Wheel Amusement Park. The Cyclone roller coaster – built in 1927, it is one of America’s oldest wooden coasters still in operation. Popular with roller coaster aficionados, the Cyclone includes an 85 ft (26 m), sixty degree drop. It is owned by the City of New York, and was operated by Astroland, under a franchise agreement. It is located across the street from Astroland.” - Source —- Coney Island at Night Posters and Prints are available for purchase by clicking here
