first time going to Coney Island

I'll be going to coney island for the first time ever & I'm really excited.. Is there anything I should know about before going?

Also what is Deno's Wonder Wheel? Is that a separate park?

I just went in June with my niece...it was fun, but EXPENSIVEChat Icon
If you go during the week you can get a pass for the rides, on the weekends, you have to pay per ride.. it's crazy.

Go early also...later in the afternoon (4pm or so) some of the gangs were out...

I agree with the going early- my hubby is a cop over there and you need to be a bit more careful at night... it's not the greatest in the evenings...

Re: first time going to Coney Island

just was there in june for the Mermaid parade. it is so much fun! but it is $$$ -- you spend your money QUICK without realizing it--especially with the rides.

be careful of the bumper cars----they are EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. there is NO restraint in them and i seriously nearly was ejected from my bumper car like 10x

That was awesome!

You have to go on it at least once in your life.

Are you going today?

Re: first time going to Coney Island

I had whiplash from the cyclone and it was horrible. I will NEVER go on another roller coaster again. THis happened in 1995, and I have never been on another one to this day.

Re: first time going to Coney Island

We are going to try & go this weekend.
I pulled my neck at great adventure on the scream machine like 15 years ago & I remember that it hurt soo bad.. keeping your neck straight is really hard on these things.
