This video presentation is why I love this channel. Every time I watch, there is good, there is wholesome, there is love, and I smile the whole time. Thank you both, so very much, for taking me along. Namaste

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thank you so much for your kind words!

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.

[@denovourderis9510]

Crazy Coney Island kid, I’m glad to call you my friend! See you tomorrow

[@markmiller-hv2zd]

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!

[@crazyconeyislandkid]

Super cool to meet you guys! Glad you enjoyed the ride! Come back again anytime!

Coney Island is one of the birthplaces of modern amusement parks! 😁

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It sure is!

[@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!

[@lewzr07]

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]

Ty Mr and Mrs Sandbrooke, and ty for the small helix helixxxxx :) loved it.

[@davidnm21]

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.

[@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!

[@liamrankin1976]

love seeing old rides like everything that’s old much better made to last 😁

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s such a fantastic ride

Great video Shawn and Charlotte from Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park located at Coney Island in New York, keep the good videos coming on the channel, Shawn and Charlotte.😀😀👍👍

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

[@justinchavez9530]

A spectacular vlog Shawn! 😃👏👏👏👏👍👍 I bet that you had a great time visiting Coney Island, the birthplace of amusement parks.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a great place!

[@RMTheMan]

Went to Coney Island when I visited New York last July, such an interesting area of the city and I definitely will be back!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s great!

The wheel looks really interesting and the rocking was a lot more intense than i expected. The trip looks great. You have both been so busy but the vlogs have been top notch! ❤

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was great to experience it again!

[@johnfoy2840]

Thank you Shawn and Charlotte for this in depth review of Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park. I'm so glad they treated you like the beloved rock stars that you are. I hope you won't mind that I just added this to KZbin's Awesome Coney Island Videos..... kzbin.info/aero/PLZY0gh4CnM6glItC0gJ3lbZ2xQJpVx0RU&si=tHa-Ib0t_tUsMRpo 🥰

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It was great!

[@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

[@mattsworldwide3154]

So cool seeing this place it was in the film The Warriors

[@SallyCarruthers]

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!

Hi Shawn and Charlotte Wow loved this seeing such a old amusement park . Id love to visit there so iconic. New coaster fits in perfectly. Great vlog thanks for sharing with us. Love to you both as always Tracey 💕💕💕💕💕

[@michaelgreenslade7260]

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

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s on my list!

[@suerichardson4381]

Bright colour scheme really makes it stand out 11:47

[@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!

[@suerichardson4381]

That looks like a really fun rollercoaster 22:45

[@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

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

Thanks for sharing!

[@nycomet]

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!!!!

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

We had a great time and loved the new coaster!

[@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!

[@ChuckMound]

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

[@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

Interesting how it's just 1 wheel riding in a U track. That's cool. Always wanted to do one of those.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s great!

[@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!

[@bowsersean8098]

26:08 that speedway ride would fit well in Thorpe parks area where stealth is. They should really get come speedway flat rides in the amity speedway with stealth

[@jerseyharlot]

Shawn I'm surprised you didnt stop at Nathans! It's world famous

[@Replican-l7p]

Great video! Glad you had fun!

[@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.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a great ride. Have a fantastic time!

[@CoasterVet]

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.

[@ThemeParkWorldwide]

It’s a great ride!

[@Thelightning1out]

I’ll be doing the one at California adventure next year! The volare I’ve heard is smooth so it might not be painful!

Have a great time!

We did Wonder Wheel this morning and loved it. Our reaction was like yours - nice gentle ride then suddenly WAYYYY! 😅 Luna Park was closed for a private event unfortunately

It’s a great ride. Hopefully you had a great day!

Does the Wonder Wheel (swinging cars) count as a coaster credit? 🤔 Wonder Wheel is the only ride I’ve ever been on that truly scared the 💩 out of me.
