www.dotcomhunter.com Coney Island a New York Must If you've never been to New York City, you can't claim to have gone u nless you trek on out to the infamous boardwalks of Coney Island. It is important to understand first of all that Coney Island is only ope n seasonally so you have to plan your journey accordingly. The second thing that is important to understand about Coney Island is that it isn't one centrally owned operation. The vast majority of attractions at Coney Island close either imm ediately or very soon after Labor Day. The beach and the actual b oardwalk are open to the public year round, some times are simply lonelier than others. Nathan's Hot Dogs and the New York Aquariu m remain open after the summer season has ended and operate most days throughout the year. The Coney Island Museum is Open on the weekend from 12:00 PM until 5:00 PM year-round. During the summer season when tourism is high along the boardwalk the two major th eme parks: Astroland and Deno's Wonder Wheel Park sponsor firewor k shows on Fridays at 9:30. The amusement parks of Coney Island are only part of the attraction b ut they work to bring many people to this very unique entertainment v enue each and every year. Astroland Amusement Park is the largest amu sement park in New York City. The Cyclone is the most famous ride in this particular park and this is a ride that is well known by roller coaster enthusiasts around the world. It is a wooden roller coaster t hat offers quite a thrilling ride. Other great rides at this park inc lude the Astroflume, The Break Dancer, the Astroland Carousel, The Sw ings, Top Spin, Dante's Inferno, Power Surge, and Astro Tower. For th e little ones there is a very nice selection of kiddie rides that wil l keep them entertained while older children enjoy some of the more t hrill-oriented rides. If you're looking for a day of great food and g reat fun in the sun Astroland is a great place to be. Deno's Wonder Wheel Park is most famous for its Wonder Wheel. The car s on this magnificent ride are red, white, and blue (rather patriotic of them wasn't it?) with swinging red and blue cards and stationary white cars. The Spook-A-Rama is another popular if not frightening ri de that is offered at Deno's Wonder Wheel Park. If you need a shot of thrills and spills try the Super Shot but only if you're 52" or more or the Thunderbolt, which has a 48" height requirement. And what day at Coney Island wouldn't be complete without a taste of bumper cars? There are also plenty of rides for the little ones to choose from on their outing as well. For something a little more sedate than thrills and chills at the amu sement parks, Coney Island is also home to the New York Aquarium at C A gift from www.dotcomhunter.comwww.dotcomhunter.com oney Island. This is a great way to learn about marine life and enjoy watching your children watching fascinating sea creatures they would be unlikely to see in other circumstances. There are more than 8,000 animals represented at the New York aquarium. Not only is this a fas cinating adventure of its own, you won't have to sacrifice your hairs tyle in order to enjoy it. The Coney Island Museum is also well worth taking a peek. You will fi nd relics of old rides and memorabilia of days gone by in the museum as well as incredible views of the rides available today. The admissi on price is rather affordable at 99 cents and it's a fun place to vis it and get out of the sun for a bit. No trip to Coney Island is reall y complete without at least stopping into the Museum. Besides, these might be the cleanest restrooms on the island. Coney Island is one of the greatest things about a visit to New York. If you can schedule y our trip to New York when the Parks are open and the boardwalk is bus tling I highly recommend you spend a weekend night out on the boardwa lk.
