Coney Island: The Rise and Fall of America’s Oldest Theme Park

We take a trip to Brooklyn New York, the birthplace of American Theme Parks, discuss its groundbreaking, bizarre, and EXTREMELY DANGEROUS history. Taste test the world’s most famous hot dog and then watch as I attempt to hold it down on a nearly 100 year old roller coaster. What the history books have referred to as “America’s Playground”, “Electric Eden”, or by some weirdo in the 1880’s “Sodom By the Sea”

This is the legendary Coney Island
