Run Down and Dirty

Average Rating

While I'm sure this place was great in its day it's now as broken down and dirty as the rest of the boardwalk. Luna park got new management recently, so maybe they'll try to turn it around, but I doubt it. The idea of a beachfront amusement park is great, but when the beach and the park are this dirty, it's almost not worth it to go to either.

Paying to get on a beach is lame. Not a fan of commuter trains, either. So for a beach getaway that's as stress-free as the local train ride over there, try Brooklyn's own Coney Island. The new beachfront amusement park, Luna Park, has plenty of diversions for the young at heart, along with staples like the death defying Cyclone roller coaster and the classic treat, Wonder Wheel.

Carnival games, boardwalk grub, and sandy beach bars abound, as Nathan's Famous Hot Dogs and crispy powdered-sugar-topped funnel cakes steal the show.

Its best bet? Friday nights boast the duo of favorite...

I live near here. I'm used to it. Roller Coasters are old. Rides make me throwwwww up. Dirty broken beer bottle and cracked eggs on the beach sand, also used dirty neeeedles. People were injured and died on numerous rides. They are changing this place with casinos and a water park I heard. Lifeguards are bossy and mean and irresponsable and have fun instead of watching people swim in the waters. Tidal waves are high. circus, Aquarium, sideshows, concerts, and friday night fireworks are ok. I record the fireworks on my camcorder. Beautiful colors. What is retarded is that you have to pay a...

In ShortConey Island's main draw is its man-made attractions. At Astroland Park, the 1927 wooden roller coaster, the Cyclone, instills fear in the hearts of riders. Nearby, Deno's Wonderwheel Amusement Park provides even more rides for insatiable thrill seekers. Dolphins and sea lions frolic at the Coney Island Aquarium, while sideshow and burlesque performers make an appearance at Coney Island...

Know Before You Go

Admission to Coney Island and the beach is free, but rides cost around $5 a pop, and the ticketing system is complicated. Rides in different areas require different tickets that must be purchased from separate booths.

When to Go

The season runs roughly from Easter through Labor Day. Hours are not set in stone, but most rides open at around noon (slightly earlier on weekends) and stop running at midnight or later.
