coney island the cyclone

Top of the Cylone. Coney Island is undergoing a transformation. The historic rollercoaster The Cyclone, the ferris wheel The Wonder Wheel and the Parachute will be staying but the rest of the rides will be changed and the area is said to undergo development. Its a real shame if the area looses it unique appeal to just become another "suburbish" developed enclave ready for only the rich. Coney Island and Astroland were a way for middle class and poor people to get away from it all. I really hope that doesnt change. The rich have enough already. Leave some for the starving artists and freaks!
