  1. On May 2nd the Carousel that used to operate at Nunley's, in Baldwin, Long Island, NY resumed operation for the first time in 14 years after the park closed in 1995. The carousel is a 1912 Stein & Goldstein of Brooklyn NY originally operated at Golden City park in Canarsie, Brooklyn, NY before being brought out to Long Island in 1939 when Golden City closed to make room for the Belt Parkway. Nunleys was a giant enclosed building with the carousel inside and lot of collectible arcade games, and a restaurant. Outside was a small ferris wheel, Schiff Kidde Roller Coaster, auto cars ride, handcrank railway, boat ride, and minigolf. For the last 3 years the ride under went restoration and is now in its new home on Museum Row, in Westbury, Long Island, NY. Price is $2.00 a ride and the ride operates with the original ring machine in which the brass ring gets a free ride. Ultra Rare Goostave Denzel Lion Lead Horse The new $1,000,000 pavilion
  2. Actually since I am only tall not fat I have never had a problem with OTSR they close all most all the way down on me and I am still comfortable. Where if I was heavier i would probably be right at the point of buckling the belt.
  3. I don't understand why everyone feels they are going to have problems with this ride i'm 6'5" 280lbs with a 38" waist and I never had a problem with el toro, plus I have never been stapled either. I feel that the restraints should be tight on a ride like this though, it is very wild. Weight aside, the only way not to fit is not to be in proportion, such as huge thighs. Don't get me wrong when people hear i'm 280lbs they think i'm huge when i'm just the opposite i'm skinny with muscle. I could easily see someone weigh 220lbs not fitting because of size, each body holds weight differently.
  4. Just to let you guys in on a secret I found an "Easter Egg' for amusement park lovers. Not only Coney Island, but if you go all the way to the top northwest corner of Alderney (Jersey) you will find the Asbury Park Casino all abandoned and falling apart, and you can even go inside. To do this before playing it through the game, go to multiplayer "free roam" and take a helicopter there ( fastest way) and enjoy.
  5. It hurt me to see this. The Jackrabbit was my first roller coaster credit back in 1989, I was 2.
  6. Actually from what I have heard from my dad, and older people is the the Parachute Jump at Coney Island was the scariest ride ever. He said it was a real parachute and when the chute hit the top and opened it took about 30 feet to catch the wind and people would pee themselves all the time. Plus the fact that there was very minimal restraints, just a strap across your legs. Although I believe that Pair-O-Chutes at Riverview may hay given the same feeling since it was the only other "real" parachute ride *cough* intamin *cough*
  7. When I was 3 in 1990 I rode the Jack Rabbit at Clementon Lake, my parents said when the ride came back to the station I started to cry because the operator told me I have to get off before I can ride again.
  8. Call me crazy but I would just reopen people mover and sit back and enjoy the s***load of money I would be making.
  9. I know Knotts Xcelerator has a small seat, but im 6'5" and 280. The difference is your body dimensions because im thin being of my height and had no problem getting on the ride. One intamin that did dissapoint was V2 a SFDK because I was turned away for being to tall, so I will never ride an impulse being that would have been my first.
  10. Hurricane was my 200th coaster And AdvLands Ex-TopScan was AMAZING! BEST Topscan EVER! Thats because we ran it manually not preset so the rides were wicked, whats sad is that it really made our park unique because Topscans are scarce and the only other one that ran manually was the one in the fair circuit
  11. Adventureland in Farmingdale on Long Island S.D.C Hurricane thats smooth and pretty intense We used to have a Mondial Topscan but becuase of an accident last year we had to let it go But we did get a Huss Frisbee this year, and it runs pretty intense
  12. It has to go to Nitro because it gives an equal feeling in every row and you get more of the "ITS GOING TO CURVE UNDER" feeling then that of on a dive machine such as SheiKra. Besides im am by far not the only one to say this other coaster designs commend B&M for what might be the perfect first drop.
