At least they're not gonna touch the Wonder Wheel.

Whoa are they actually going to spend a billion dollars rebulding a city dang man they should use it for something better

Nah, the wonder wheel is a more important landmark then Buckingham Palace mate.
Lets just pray that Coney isn't to messed up for 2009 eh?
Im sure our fellow Warriors over there in Coney will let us know whats going on when the time comes......if $1 billion comes

If Dick Z says its ok fine with me. He like the godfather for that place. Hope they fix the other areas around Coney.

Sometimes money hungry developers mistake "character" as "neglete".  I see it everywhere, a nice old place looks a little run down so instead of putting a little work into restoring it lets just tear it down and start from scratch.  You then get big, boring, faceless architechtural nightmares that only the super wealthy can afford to live and work in.  Boy I hope Coney survives this, I still have to see the place for myself.

I don't want to rock up in '09 to something which isn't familiar. I agree with you Harley, they need to preserve the character of Coney.

they can't do this! can't we start a petition to make coney a historical land mark or something? Coney has to at least stay the same til after the conclave in 09!

Agreed, well they cant touch everything in between now and 09 (i hope  )

im almost wit all ya but if this was done it would really help tourism2 ny nd it would be better 2 go there considering it s pretty borin now xcept for the cyclones nd the cyclone

maybe after 2009 they could make coney better. i been there a couplr of times and im starting to get bored of the same ol rides each time.

It'a about the history though.

The rides may be dated but, it's all part of the charm of the place.

thats stupid how could they do that to coney man! i hope it doesnt change from the way it looked in the warriors. coney island has a lot of legendary things the name cyclone thats a bad ass name especially the wonder wheel that just sounds cool and the name CONEY ISLAND. something they shoud fix is disney land that place just sucks. i hope they dont do any thing to coney!

I cant belive this! I love Coney Island. I just went there today to see it before they did anything to it. Next time I go there Im going to ride the Cyclone, my Mom didnt want me to because she didnt trust me riding by myself yet. I hope when I go next time everything will still be the same.

As a Warriors fan I would feel weird hanging around Astroland and Deno's with this giant resort looming in the background. However, judging from the renderings of what this place will look like it seems to be in the vain of what Coney Island looked like during the Nickel Empire of the early 1900's. So, as a Coney Island fan this might be a good thing. Assuming, of course, that it's done right.

Man I wish I could go there and takea bunch of pictures befor they change everything. At least my copy of the movie will never change, at least we will still have that.
