As a kid in the 80's I remember seeing half of these rides in ruins. Amazing to see how much nicer it was a decade before I was born. It also reminds me of the long gone Rockaway Beach Playland.
It looks better now than when I was a kid and I'm 30. Was there last night and the night before. Great fireworks show. A lot of good food. 🙌🏾
I really miss Coney Island very dearly from the bottom of my heart, the last time I went to Coney Island was in 1980!!
That was the last year I went, too!
I still go. Was there last night. Doing better than it has in a long time imo. Fireworks show was great and they just had the mermaid parade the week before lol.
Even tho I was born 30 years after this video there is something that gets me about it and I watch it at least once daily
My family from Coney island! Good to see how it was back then..they been there since the 60s.
Ahh! The _"Bygone Era"_ ... Life was simpler, computer technology was still on a commercial/industrial/institutional basis, and people ventured outside and did more back then!
I loved those train in 70s when painted pastel green, blue and yellow. The yellow was the "hummer"
I was 5 when this film was made! My grandpa used to take me and a friend to Coney Island to get a Nathans hotdog! Sometimes, even in the wintertime! We would make a day of it riding the subway!
Warriors come out and play!
I want to go to NY so bad. What a vibe!
this isn't what its like now. people get killed and shot on those streets nowadays.
It's a pretty rough place now
It's amazing how much is still there exactly the same way in 1973
Dude dont listen to these guys in the replys. Im a native. The 70s are NOTORIOUS for being some of the worst years the city has ever seen. Crime has gone down since then! Still, be careful ofc!!! But its really not terrible.
@@rxqueen111 You're telling the truth. It was much worse in the 70s. Plus the housing was slum buildings,, they are all gone.. I googled all the streets
that used to be burned out after 1977..they are all gone.
I love Coney Island best place to go there during the summer I’m so excited to go this year
I was 2 years old at the time. Great film! Coney Island is one of my favorite places in New York!
They should have a Warriors Parade !
The local firehouse have the warriors flags on their trucks lol
I'm 13yrs old when I was younger I used to go to coney island and I've always begged my mom to go on the log water ride but she always say next time... now its gone...
I see no phones on sight which is amazing
You see payphones and phone booths which is also, amazing.
Amazing? It was 40 years before they were a consumer product.
Great video. This is the way I remember it. Bring back the old rides and watch Coney rebound !
Hey I was just wondering are there many Italian Americans around Brooklyn? I wanna meet a nice Italian American boy
@@rohidnablayy6060 - They all moved to Staten Island
norakat oh thanks! Always wanted to see what it would be like to date a mob boss or someone in the mobs son, I have a thing for Italians lol
Back when there was actual LIFE on earth 🌎
It took me a few seconds to realy get what you meant. 💯
You could say that again.
Yes indeed, and having FUN at it also.
There’s no life on earth anymore ?
@Anna Stasia when you see people vaxed and still wearing masks out of FEAR from what's they're being told that's Not having a life. When you're attending a sports event and you're constantly texting and looking at your phone and your missing the key moments of a game that's not having a life. When you're born with a penis or vagina and your parents decide that they rather let you decide what gender your gonna be 🤦♂️that's not having a life ... I can go on and on all night what a world we living in ... the age of stupidity!
Great footage of the Water Flume! You don't see that too often. I remember Coney Island in 1973 ... the midway still hadn't burned down and the Tornado and Bobsled were still in operation.
I was 13 back then, doesn't seem that long ago, cool video, great place.
I went to Coney Island two years ago - first time ever ... didn't have half this many rides ... was rather dull actually ...
Wow.. That's a half a century ago.. It's sad to think a great many of the young and able bodies here probably already died of old age or will be about to soon..
I wonder how many of those adults are alive now? This was 49 years ago!
most of them are probably dead idk tbh
figure everyone over 30 just about is dead. avg. american lives to 77.
Conley island they said open in 1894 by 1920 it was new york city playground today it's the best in the world 😀
Beautiful indeed
OH WOW.
Spooka-rama's original 10 minute Ride track can be seen. The outdoor Track that leads into three indoor buildings. This ride used to be 10 minutes of spooks. Modern day Spookarama is about 45 seconds... : (
I never saw spookarama's tracks in a aerial view like this before. I remember someone posting the track-layout in the old 2004 ConeyIsland Forum but i long lost that image.
I see the empty lot where the Gyroglobe used to be,, which is next to the Himalaya (Top middle ride @1:26).
I want to see a video of that ride in full action from start to finish, it was only around for a few years (Gyro Globe)
I've heard that the Himalaya ride was made from scrap metal in someone's backyard, lasted many years. Other Thing i heard was it was later turned into "The Polar Express" which was that one ride next to the GhostHole. They always played great music on ThePolarExpress. Not sure if the story of ThePolarExpress being the original Himalaya is true though.
I'm so glad to see the exact spot where the Neptune Diving Bells is located. I've only seen photos but i never knew its exact spot. Ah man this is like time traveling.
If only there was another AstroTower near the Tornado so i can see what it looked like there from aerial view.
So that Astroland Skyride, it seems that the loading/departure dock was on top of the o'l Astroland Shooting Gallery. I had no idea there was a second floor to that building. This is blowing my mind. So exciting.
Wow cool. When everything worked. Much nicer destination than it is today.
It’s actually more safe today!
@@brandontylerproductions2202 I agree and I was actually there back then as every Sunday my family went to the beach. Back in the 1970s-80s, while the beach area was ok, you took your life in your hands when you left the beach/boardwalk area. You had junkies hanging out on the side streets by the rotting bungalows. Today those same locations have restaurants, an attractions, the amphitheater and the ballpark. Yes it may be a bit corporate, but it's a far better place today than it was back then.
@@brandontylerproductions2202 - I don’t know .. I was about to say people look less grimy and less crime-y, less drugged out and more together/wholesome. Didn’t see one bum or homeless dude. 73 is still before things got a little crazy.
Yes, the crazy homicides were a lively group of folks.....
@@adm712 It;s REALLY hard to find film and photos of COney Island back then when it truly was dangerous. There were the slums/ the bungalos/ the gangs/ the addicts, and then when the Blackout of 1977 came--the FIRES and then boarded up slums for years. Today 99% of it is all renovated or rebuilt. CRAZY
1:00 - 2 Guys in the front of the Roller Coaster both wearing *TIES*
Nice, good video...
happy happy new yorkkkk....🤭🤭🤗🤗🤗🤗
Wonderful
I was four when this video was made. Looks like it was before 1973, though.
I was born June of 73....Times have changed
Party like it's 1973 !
1:29 last images of the THUNDERBOLT and TORNADO in the back ground.......Forgot how High Tornado drop was.
The way people dress is more like 2023 than 1966
This summer it’ll be 50 years half a century ago hardto believe some of those young kids in this video are now around 60
I'm 54 and YES that's my profile how I LOOK TODAY *health junkie* I have great vivid memories of going to Coney Island with my family in the late 70's and 80's the most incredible fun times I ever had wish I had a time machine and I can escape this miserable 2023 woke wasteland hellhole we're living in. 🤷♂️
@@joeyphenomenal So you would trade some woke people and silly race-baiting for an epidemic of crime and racial tension?
Hardly any overweight people
Coney Island sucks ngl old one looks really cool
I'm actually watching real human beings.
🎡 Wonder Wheel
People looked better then. Today people wear Jeans, T-Shirt, Sneakers, Piercings, tatoos and Baseballcaps. No elegance anymore.
I've got piercings and I'm elegant,we're not all slobs
How can I get a clean version of this video?
First song?
We lived in in the residential area of Coney Island on 31st street in a housing project (Coney Island Houses).
As a kid (I was 9yo in 1973) I had little desire to go to the amusement area seen here. It seemed seedy and dirty with lowlifes, bums and hookers around.
yea for sure. i lived out in queens but everyone knows coney island was hood by the 70s. the white irish and italians had moved.
WTF: why are these men wearing office slacks on a hot 90 degree day on the board walk?
cause before hip hop thug life took over our culture, people had class. even black people.
In those days, most guys never left the house without dressing up...By the 1970s, as you see in this video, men started to dress more casual by then but with still many men simi-dressed up...Getting dressed up to leave the house was the style all the way up until about the mid or late 60s.. The majority of men you see here dressed in slacks are men from the Silent Generation....That generation grew up dressing up all the time, even just to make a trip to the supermarket....Thats how it was in those days...But as i said before, men started dressing more casual by the late 60s and early 70s...After that casual dressing was the new thing for men...I was a very young boy in the 60s and both my grandfathers and my father usually dressed up in a nice shirt and slacks no matter where they went
There was a time when only children were shorts.
?Hershey Park 2020?
Dirty water
The good days before Al Gore and his "inter net".
When Cuomo did not rule NY.
You mean Bloomberg?
You make me to lol
