Coney Island at Night (1905)

[@owellafehr5191]

So magical! I wish I could have gone there!

[@privategirl4716]

Me too.

[@olivedarb03]

How remarkable and amazing this must have been at the time....the electric light just recently been invented !

[@Ryan-on5on]

Just imagine that when these three groundbreakingly illuminated parks were open a mere 30% or less of American households were wired with electric lights. For many "rube" visitors from the gas-lit countryside and foreign immigrants a night at Dreamland or Luna Park must have been an extremely surreal and breathtaking experience, akin to Dorothy entering the Technicolor world of Oz after being blown away from her sepia-toned Kansas farmstead. It really is hard for us 21st century denizens to comprehend that there was a time in the not too distant past where electric light was an urban novelty only enjoyed by those could afford to wire and hook up their private residences to a local generating plant.

They were clearly using Nikola Tesla's long-lost (hidden) free energy technology in 1905, before two deliberately orchestrated world wars ensured that it was destroyed and all but forgotten.

[@TriangleFilms]

That is some incredible footage!

[@mikedrown2721]

My grandparents were born in the early 1890's. Lucky them

[@valeriaalanis2071]

so much light in such a dark place...

[@survivalcraftstudio]

My question is how did you find this, because this is a fine work of art that needs to be heard to the world and beyond!

[@owellafehr5191]

There's something both whimsical and yet slightly creepy about this. Anyone else feel the same way?

[@bighuge1060]

There's a very Carnival of Souls vibe about it.

[@sherleenadeboggins1454]

I don't believe those were regular incandescent bulbs.

[@rustykuntz94]

Same here 100%! Haunting

[@kieranm3957]

@@sherleenadeboggins1454 and they weren’t wired either... we’re talking 10MW of power with incandescent bulbs. Widespread electrification and 3phase ac power didn’t occur until 1920’s.

[@BennyboyTruth]

@@kieranm3957 Absolutely. This is pure Nikola Tesla technology without a doubt. There are old photos of identical tech being used to illuminate the Worlds Fairs by night.

[@Jazzymama8703]

Nice that the current Luna Park uses the same motif of the past.

[@Miyu-u6t]

Wow…It's so beautiful！

[@sabrinasjourney]

So beautiful!

[@jeromechristensen275]

Edison never missed a trick But this advertisement for electric lights surpasses anything else he attempted.

[@BennyboyTruth]

Edison was an dick (Family Guy even joked about this!). Nikola Tesla was and always will be the only true technological genius and the greatest REAL scientist to ever live.

@@BennyboyTruth i dont think nether of them existed

[@TartariaLives]

@@BennyboyTruth He was a Tartarian Refugee, born on the border of Tartaria,10+ years after it was wiped out and yes he was trying to pass along their tech...

[@villega21altos]

I would like some day to put colors on it, and restore it, they are jewels of the past

[@marioandrikopoulos2158]

Wow! Fantastic 👍

[@Mitzi73]

Magical!

Mister Y welcomes you to Phantasma!

[@davidshepherdgrossman]

Wow! Thanks for the share!

[@1952lunacat]

Love it

[@farmyardflavours]

Awesome, awesome, awesome .. !!

[@peterbaxter2913]

Wonderful - but why did they choose an organist with two left hands?

[@tahirmahmood7098]

Peter Baxter a pianist with two left feet is more like it ... !

[@marioandrikopoulos2158]

Wonderful👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@stormgirl09]

why does super old school Coney Island look more like Disneyland than modern Coney Island does...I even read about how some parts about Dreamland and it seemed to resemble a primitive Disney World! looking at the pics of Coney Island todays it looks like your average sea side park. so in a way Coney Island was ahead of its time but than kind of down graded it seems... 🤷‍♀️

Search ‘the lost history of flat earth by Ewaranon’ you can ignore the flat earth stuff if you want but just watch the first couple parts of it.

[@BennyboyTruth]

@@voyager14 but the "flat earth stuff" is completely relevant to how the technology actually worked. Nikola Tesla knew for a fact that we don't live on some random spinning ball hurtling through an infinite space vacuum at unimaginable speeds in multiple directions 😜 If anyone still thinks that geocentricism is just a ridiculous concept reserved for crackpot nutjobs, i'd suggest checking out some of the interviews that Dave 'DITRH' Weiss has done with die-hard believers of fundamentally-flawed globe theory.

[@croiners4166]

Cool!

[@aliceevans9606]

If we can't rebuild it from scratch we'll just have to find a way to go back in time and stop it from burning down in the first place.

[@VqBryan]

How they do that in 1905

I wrote an acappella vocal arrangement about Dreamland. Perhaps you might be interested. It's here on KZbin at: Ron James Music

[@KokoGogo1728]

What's the name of that song?

[@thatssomething1]

Nathan's wasn't around yet so no thanks to 1905 😆😉

[@johnfoy2840]

This is truly magnificent!! Thank you so much for sharing this. (btw I just posted this on KZbin's Awesome Coney Island Videos..... kzbin.info/aero/PLZY0gh4CnM6glItC0gJ3lbZ2xQJpVx0RU&si=HbO-kL4Za95MxMMs )

this was pretty cool, until they got their first electric bill....
