You know you're youtube famous when the owner of such an iconic park is a fan of the channel.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was great to see him!

[@djddog5_hiphoptappjazzclub42]

DJ Vourderis, the owner of the park and operator of Phoenix, is such a class act. His passion for the park and this industry is unmatched. I have had the pleasure of meeting him on multiple occasions at ACE (American Coaster Enthusiasts) events.

[@bpyork]

I agree. If you ever get a chance to sit down with him and discuss the park he is truly fantastic. He is a huge fan of enthusiasts in fact he took them into consideration when deciding on the Phoenix. The fact that you got 6 rides for one is something out of the kindness of his heart and his love for those who love the industry. I have met him several times but the first time I was just walking around the closed park while they were building the coaster and he invited me in and showed me around just because I was wearing an ACE shirt. Truly the best of the best.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

He’s a great guy and it was fantastic to meet him!

[@crazyconeyislandkid]

I’m glad i get to call him my boss and my friend

[@bpyork]

@@crazyconeyislandkid You are also a treasure to the park as well.

Ever since seeing this park in The Warriors I've always wanted to visit

[@Hans_Eriksson94]

Shawn and Charlotte are the best KZbinrs that do the best theme park and travel vlogs ❤

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you!

[@king_coaster]

I just want to thank you guys, right now I'm taking my GCSE's and honestly they suck, I hat them and they make me hate life ngl. But you guys inspired me to start uploading to my youtube again and honestly I find that its a great escapes from the stress I'm in. Even though I can't do vlogs because I dont often go to theme parks, whenever I do I will definitely vlog it thanks to you guys :)

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you so much, keep up the hard works!

[@yugioht42]

The oldest dark ride was A Trip to the Moon which was a simulated walk through the moon based on the old movie of the same name. Located where modern Luna park is now. Unfortunately lost in the Coney Island fire of 1944. The area was turned into a parking lot and bought by zampearla creating the modern Luna park. The A trip to the moon was a complete loss and was replaced where the horse coaster is now. Such a shame.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@beardown6574]

The famous coney island very cool visit. Some amusement park nostalgia right there. Really enjoyed that.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was great to get back to Coney Island! More on the way tomorrow!

[@Eltrop]

When I hear Coney Island & wonder wheel I think of "Warriors come out to playyyy" 😅

[@no-secret-chart]

Always makes me smile to see your joy on rides. You are a couple of lovable Goofballs!

Coney Island just legendary. Love that big wheel ride and that fantastic little family coaster just perfect for a small compact park. Great vlog guys.

I was there in 1998..Loved it there! Enjoy!

I had the Charlette face my first time on Wonder Wheel as well.

[@jasonhamelin2859]

The wonder wheel is definitely in my bucket list. The new Phoenix rollercoaster really looks fun, especially front row when you hit that over bank half way through! Excellent vlog!

[@user-yk6fr8rf9p]

That wonder wheel is ace. We are looking at flights thanks to the channel. PS I’m so glad you got on TT2 before the closure.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

I’m so glad we got it!

That looks like a really fun rollercoaster <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1365">22:45</a>

[@michaelgreenslade7260]

If you like old-school parks, you should go to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in California.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s on my list!

[@RR-fg2rl]

History of coney Island is amazing ken burns did a great documentary on it . At the turn of 20th century was its heyday . You had 3 parks dreamland , Luna park and steeplechase park . All are gone this Luna park is recent it became astroworld for a time before Luna park opened again .

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a fascinating place!

[@RR-fg2rl]

@ThemeParkWorldwide I live in bronx and love coney Island also rye Playland used to be free and pay for rides like coney now u have to pay to get in . If you do watch that documentary on coney by Ken burns let me know it's on KZbin

[@smlnsgd4u]

Phoenix reminds me of Dragonflier at Dollywood 😊

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a great ride. Love how compact it is!

[@suerichardson4381]

That’s a proper old school amusement park <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1685">28:05</a>

OMG! I love you and Charlotte!! I live on Long Island and I try to visit Coney Island as many times as possible every year.! I was so happy to see that DJ Vadooras gave you so many rides and opportunities to make videos on Phoenix!!!! I’m great friends with the the owners of Denos wonderful Vadooras family. But one thing SHOCKS me Shaun. Spook-a-Rama is one of the BEST OLD SCHOOL ghost trains in the universe - and you never rode it! SHAWN!!!! I would buy your tickets for you and Charlotte!!!! You missed one of the BEST rides at Coney Island 😍🥰😘

[@nycomet]

AND YOU MISSED OUT ON SEEING THE NY AQUARIUM!!!!

We had a great time and loved the new coaster!

I am a big fan and big lover of your channel ❤

[@Hans_Eriksson94]

Really love your videos so much xx ❤

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks!

[@history_leisure]

I guess many of those thoughts make sense going to the older seaside parks, like Blackpool Pleasure Beach, are almost what they are because of the historic rides-although newer rides like Icon (and Valhalla, it did get that upgrade so its good as new) also bringing modern thrills

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Definitely!

[@suerichardson4381]

Bright colour scheme really makes it stand out <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="707">11:47</a>

[@porcelainthunder2213]

Those family suspended coasters are great. Vekoma really hit a niche with those. Perfect transition between kiddie coasters and the adult thrill machines. The Cyclone used to be the coaster that all woodies were measured by. Still is a top woodie for me. Might have to lose a few pounds to ride it again, though. 🤣

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a great ride!

[@weatherlicious]

I rode the Wonder Wheel back in the 80s!

[@user-br5kc1lx3w]

[@Coaster.Enthusiast.Equestrian]

I love your videos! You inspired my family 2 years ago! (Aka we randomly found your channel and me and my dad and my step mom liked it so we went to family park in Asutria, Gardaland etc...just the near ones beacause we live in Hungary.) So we have been coaster enthusiasts because of you! And 2 years of watching you! Thank you so much for inspiring us! (My coaster count is 117 but it will be atleast 200 this year) ✌ peace

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you! That’s great to hear!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing! Playland is on the way!

[@rikspector]

Shawn and Charlotte, There is also a boardwalk. One year I was in the 10 mile handicap racewalk and was able to get second place!! I remember the parachute Jump, and long before my time there was Steeplechase and really long slide where you sat on burlap bags, I think. So iconic! Cheers, Rik Spector

[@timothymitchell5247]

That Phoenix Roller coaster is just like the roller coaster ride they have at Dreamworld in Patham Thani in Thailand....That was the very first suspended roller coaster I have ever been on...A nice ride I thought....Was nice to try something different...Now we are going to two parks here in the U.k that we have never been too...Thorpe Park and Alton Towers...Got sick of Oakwood park in Wales been there so many times now it's time for a change...And yes I will get out there and keep on Riding even at the age of 55 years old.

I went on Zeno’s Wonder Wheel last year, swinging seats of course. I was great. There aren’t many of these around. I think the only other one in the USA is in California. I got on 2 of the coasters, but didn’t go on Skyflyer. It was just too small. I got all credits at Luna Park.
