[@mr.djcooncoon8196]

Coney Island spectacular and clean here in 1932...I was born in Coney Island only 31 years after this and I could assure you I never saw anything like this...

[@arthuradonizio7762]

I was born 18 yea 0:12 rs after this film & I do remember some of these antics. Lots of fun but I can see the potential for lawsuits . What a strange world it was. 😏

[@MrGreen-ci2mm]

"only 31 years".. lol 31 years is a lot bud..two completely different eras

[@jeffwolcott7815]

Coney Island, where the risk of getting hurt is all part of the fun!

[@fr2ncm9]

Like Action Park in New Jersey?

[@jeffwolcott7815]

@@fr2ncm9 Yeah, just like it.

[@WORLD8NSH5KNIGHT1]

Came here from the Festival of Britain (1951) video It seems some of these amusements are long gone from fairgrounds - the 'human pool table' for example. It looks fun though!

[@ladyrachel13]

The human pool table looks like fun. The dress blowing up not so much.

[@anneshields2010]

Those old rides look like fun but they wouldn’t be allowed today because of health and safety

[@cpresc4041]

This place was called Steeplechase. I remember it well.

[@stormgirl09]

wow looks like they had some interesting rides back in the day!!

[@jeniferallan6693]

Wow. Amazing !

[@tartgreenapple]

Strange to think all these people are long deceased.

[@trpdon4581]

Could be some of the babies alive my great grandma was born in 1931 and she’s still a kickin just turned 93

[@Growingcollections]

The air guns and public humiliation is odd to see

[@hilaryrubinstein9022]

No seat belts!!

[@timmyn8575]

Sitting there and watching womens dresses fly up in wild. 😮

[@giada2412]

What about the sexism on the women? The scene of clown😑 1:14

[@karend169]

Yeah, he was pretty creepy and apparently could get away with anything.

[@harlow743]

@@karend169 That clown had it made

[@skeptigal2785]

Oh, lighten up...

[@zayntahir8876]

yeah quite disrespectful

[@cpresc4041]

The good old days

[@gloobark]

0:37 lmao kid got slammed

[@welshwizzard8209]

for the men only sign people commenting about by the human pool table ride , i suggest that back in those days men wore trousers and women wore skirts, long skirts mainly, so the skirt would get caught in the mechanism and become dangerous, so i suggest it’s a safety thing as much as a sexism thing Back in those days it was a mere cultural thing to say no women rather than no skirts because it was just a given that women wore skirts in society

[@DDandrums]

If I was a maharaja I would have one of those spinners to select women for my harem except spinning faster.

Fascinating...
