A Spin Through History! My article about the park world's oldest operating rides is in the November IAAPA Expo edition of Amusement Warehouse. Among the century-old rides in my story are Vienna's Riesenrad, Coney Island's Deno's Wonder Wheel & Blackpool's Sir Hiram Maxim's Captive Flying Machine 🎡✈️

The first page and a half of an article I wrote for Amusement Warehouse about the the park world's oldest operating amusement rides shows a photo of Vienna's Giant Wheel, the Riesenrad, and an antique postcard of it in the 19th century, when it was built. Also pictured are riders on a red swinging car of Coney Island's Deno's Wonder Wheel.

Happy #NationalRollerCoasterDay! I recorded an oral history for @coneyislandhistory.bsky.social with roller coaster designer Mike Boodley. Fifty years ago, he broke a world record riding the Coney Island Cyclone 1,001X in 45 hrs 🎢 www.coneyislandhistory.org/oral-history... @ridewithace.bsky.social

News clipping from August 15, 1975 has the headline State's Michael Boodley New Roller-Coaster King. Fifty years ago this month, on August 14, 1975, seventeen-year-old Mike Boodley set a Guinness world record for consecutive roller coaster rides by riding the Coney Island Cyclone 1,001 times over 45 hours. The black & white photo shows him sitting in the first car, which says Cyclone, after the 1001st ride, and people around him congratulating him.

Hit the Hammer, Ring the Bell! My article about the history of the high striker is published in the July issue of Amusement Warehouse, the print magazine companion to carnivalwarehouse.com. The strongman game inspired the phrase "close, but no cigar!" because a cigar was your prize if you won.

Graphic shows photo layout of my article HIt the Hammer, Ring the Bell! The History of the High Striker in Amusement Warehouse Magazine. The large photo on the left is a still from the 1917 silent film comedy Coney Island showing Buster Keaton holding a hammer in front of a high striker and hitting Fatty Arbuckle on the chin so that his hat jumps in the air. Smaller photos from the early 20th century on the right show the bottom part of the high striker's wooden tower with numbers 300, 500, and 600 painted on it and a player hitting the gong.

The Coney casino developers are falsely claiming that gambling casinos were once a traditional business in Coney Island & @nycplanning.bsky.social bought the lie. History lesson: www.coneyislandhistory.org/blog/coney-c... @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social @justinbrannan.bsky.social @alexsommer.bsky.social

This is a text block that says: This is a truth can easily be fact-checked. There are no photographs, tax records, licenses, newspaper stories, advertisements, or recorded memories of a gambling casino ever operating in Coney Island. “The Coney” casino developers sold their claim based on one postcard image, and the New York City Planning Commission bought the lie.

This type of fraud creates serious problems when used to influence public policy. This is exactly what happened when the @nycplanning Commission approved the zoning for the casino on May 7, 2025.

Here is a direct quote from page 14 of the Planning Commission’s approval of the rezoning of Coney Island for the casino:

“Casinos were once a popular and established use in Coney Island and a gaming facility returning to Coney will not only reinforce the area as an amusement district but also establish a new, year-round destination for residents and tourists, aligned with the goals of the Special Coney Island District.”

Dear NY friends, voting in the NYC Primary is June 14-24. Since I've worked in Coney Island for the past 18 years & all politics is local, I’m hyper-focused on the NYC Comptroller’s race. I'm ranking @marklevinenyc.bsky.social #1 for NYC Comptroller and won't be ranking @justinbrannan.bsky.social

Renderings of proposed casinos in Coney Island and Hudson Yards show tall towers overwhelming their surroundings. Text boxes explain the status of the proposals and the role that Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine and Coney Island Councilmember Justin Brannan have and are playing in the approval process in their respective boroughs. It says that Levine opposed the Hudson Yards casino proposal, citing concerns about insufficient housing and impact on the High Line and it was pulled by the developer in May. Regarding the Coney casino, it says that City & State reported that Coney councilman Justin Brannan "had previously been a solid 'no' on the casino proposal, but he recently told Politico NY that he "wants to let the process play out." At the Council's June 12 zoning subcommittee hearing he said he was undecided.
