Thor Embraces Love: Future of Coney Island is Groovy, Baby

Coney Screencap

What’s in a developer’s website? Well, it’s about the product that the developer is trying to sell. In the case of The Future of Coney Island, the Thor website with the very long name that’s hard to type, the image is now 1960s Groovy. We take zero credit for this find–that goes to the superb Coney blog Kinetic Carnival, which does a tremendous amount of heavy lifting in covering the local happenings. In addition to proclaiming “Coney Island Love” and the 1967 Northern California Jefferson Airplane/Jimi Hendrix concert fonts, it also has info about the water slide, Friday night movies and the Cole Bros. Circus if you click on the right hand side of the intro screen. Feel the shagadelic Coney Island Love, baby. We expect to see Austin Powers popping out of the splash screen at any moment with a “groovy, baby.” Now, please excuse us, while we kiss the sky.

    Somebody should offer Joe Sitt a smoke and a pancake.
