JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

I love roller coasters!  They are always a good time at the amusement park.

With computers and technology, we are really pushing the limits as to how big designers can push the thrills!  As we get more powerful computers — we’ll only get more powerful roller coasters!  See you at the theme parks!  Oh, I hate those cameras that snap pictures of the riders… not doing that upsell!  LOL

Jersey Joe checks out the fun side of New York City’s playground, Coney Island in this fun video quiz!

 

Coney Island was settled by Dutch settlers in the 17th century.  It became a popular beach and amusement park area starting in the 19th century.  Once air and auto travel became more affordable, Coney Island lost it’s luster as city dwellers were able to visit other, more far off locals.  After falling into disrepair during the 1980’s, Coney Island has made a major comeback with the opening of Luna Park, more rides, restaurants, beach bars. and independent attractions.

What: Coney Island

JERSEY JOE RECOMMENDS:

One of my favorite places for fun in New York City.  Despite having a bad reputation and becoming downright dangerous years ago, Coney Island has been cleaned up and is once again, an exciting place for both friends and families.

Make sure you check it out, whether you’re a local or a tourist on vacation.  After all, it’s the birthplace of the hot dog!
