Glad I got to visit this park for a few hours during the ACE 2007 Con. Played the mini golf and rode the Python coaster (even though I had already ridden it in New Jersey). Nice place with a lot of history.

I visited it several times over the years, starting in 2003. I am very sad to hear about this, though not surprised. I always admired its scrappiness as a park that somehow failed to die when most of it was moved to Kings Island.

Sigh.

How about some videos from Coney Island?
From 2010; I reallly need to remaster this one as there is something wonky going on with the brightness levels that wasn't in the original video...

They had an unusual flat ride called a Moser Flipping Action Arm. Really
rolls off the tongue, right? That's why they called it the Wipeout. Added
in 2014, see it here:

Finally, Entertrainment Junction has a model of Coney Island as it appeared
a few years before Taft all-but destroyed it in favor of Kings Island. My
video of the model:

No ads in the videos and I won't even ask you to "like and subscribe!"
