This was overdue, another step in the consolidation of the amusement area along the boardwalk into one amusement park. It's a slow process, but it has to be done.
|
Would be great to get an indoor complex in CI. Year round mini golf, go carts, laser tag, paint ball, etc, would be fantastic. Maybe even a new bowling alley given Maple Lanes shut down and Shell is the only one in the area. Integrate some event spaces for nearby venues and slap on a usable green roof that connects down to the boardwalk for access.

Coney Island needs one of those huge indoor ski slopes. I think all the Russians next door would like that as skiing is pretty popular amongst them if I'm not mistaken.

Half of this lot (the half along the boardwalk) is one of the sites listed, to be used for outdoor amusements. The other sites are basically streets between various other amusement elements. This is all part of the plan to consolidate the amusement area along the boardwalk.

Is that plan above definitive?
Looking at Google Earth, in order to make that plan, they have to raze the amusement park between W10th St. and W12th St. (formely Astroland) Also they would have to demolish the new rollercoaster along W15th St. which is only like two years old. In Google Earth you can see that they already laid that new Wonder Wheel Way, between W15th St. and W12th St. Are they going to raze all that or will stay? |

I think you're talking about the current Luna Park. The new amusements have been placed so that they are interchangeable and removable. They have already removed some rides, and put in new ones since opening. The new Thunderbolt was put on city land, the northern end of which will eventually be indoor amusement space. But the city does not own the bordering land (talks are supposedly underway now) to complete the assemblage. Other than the current Wonder Wheel amusement park, the city has assembled the land (south of Wonder Wheel Way) that has been marked permanent parkland, it can never be developed over. That way the outdoor amusement area is preserved. (I seem to vaguely remember the City getting the Wonder Wheel park too). In the current RFP, you see the streets that run south of Wonder Wheel Way are where the new amusement area is being extended, https://www.6sqft.com/coney-island-t...tions-by-2018/ https://imgs.6sqft.com/wp-content/up...ney-Island.png Site C - West 15th Street Site D - Stillwell Avenue Site E - West 12th Street http://m7.i.pbase.com/o6/06/102706/1...mZ6cQz7.z1.JPG North of WWW is to be a cross between the South Street Seaport and Times Square. http://m7.i.pbase.com/o2/06/102706/1...Ln42.plan7.JPG http://m1.i.pbase.com/o2/06/102706/1...7Sjo.plan9.JPG http://m3.i.pbase.com/o2/06/102706/1...yls.plan11.JPG http://m4.i.pbase.com/o2/06/102706/1...9cQ.plan14.JPG |
This is the current configuration of Luna Park. Note that Deno's Wonder Wheel Park is nearly invisible, as are the other independent amusement operators still left in Coney.

If this plan isn't a return to the grandeur that was the original Coney Island, then I don't know what is.:tup:

They keep publishing the out dated renderings from when Dattner was working on this. No one got the newer images from the Community Board meeting a couple of months ago?
Also fat chance at that trolley happening. |

Coney could be so much better. Make the amusement park more attractive and clean up the boardwalk. The place has more potential than what is going on right now. Things are moving very slowly, I don't get it.
