Yes - the 1952 one is really prime. Looka, looka... looka...
"cifilmman", who posted those, is actually Indie Rob Leddy, who runs the yearly Coney Island Film Festival. Really nice guy, and highly devoted to all things Coney...

Nice Videos! so much has changed over the years. Good to see at least it has been preserved in film.

Wow. Good stuff. "Girlie Shows" and 25 cent rides on the Cyclone. Those were the days. The swinging cars on the Wonder Wheel really swung in 1952.
