People of all demographics and economic levels can enjoy Coney Island. It was created by small business owners with big dreams of creating a magical land of amusement.Coney Island is a manifestation of the gritty realness of New York City which has been dipped in glitter, doused in sugar, spun in circles and then baked in the hot sun! Coney Island is a magical land of alluring darkness and enchanting light. It is simultaneously human and sublime.Coney Island should be transformed in to the fabulous wonderland that it deserves to be. It should be redeveloped. But in a cautious and conciencious way that preserves it’s history and the magic that makes Coney Island the extraordinary, legendary, fabulous, spectacular, enchant-alicious, colorful, inspiring, fantastical place that it is.May the true spirit of Coney Island LIVE FOREVER!!!”Please visit www.myspace.com/saveconeyisland
