Fun Video: Coney Island in 1978

March 1st, 2008 · No Comments


Here’s an interesting vid that was just posted on YouTube that we found thanks to Kinetic Carnival. The person that posted it writes: “Using a silent home movie camera in 1978 I filmed scenes around Norman Kaufman’s Steeplechase Park in Coney Island. I had worked on the Go-Kart ride (which is why that ride is shown more often than others.) You will see the Jumbo Jet, the Cortina Bob, the Bumber Car ride, and A LOT OF FACES.” It’s long but worth a view of the images from a different era.
