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?

Re: first time going to Coney Island
Have fun! I went last year with my niece and that Wonder Wheel scared the poop out of me This shows you how high you go! And you have to play "Shoot the freak". My niece and I were hysterical laughing.

Re: first time going to Coney Island
I just went in June with my niece...it was fun, but EXPENSIVE 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

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.
