Warriors Base position.

Post by doyle »

Today, surfing on Google Earth I found Coney Island and the Wonder Wheel. Re-watching deleted scene I have a suspect about the position of Wonder Wheel and Cyclone, they are inverted.
Image
How you can see the Cyclone is in left position (photo 1 & 3) and WW in right position of the camera (photo 2) and surely they are on boardwalk (photo 4 & you can ear see noise) but in google earth still you can notice that WW e Cyclone rispect to camert view are in a mirror position.
How does it possible?

The roller coaster you see in the background of those shots isn't The Cyclone, its The Thunderbold. The Thunderbold was located west of the go-kart tracks (seen in the left side of the sattelite photo you posted).

Here's a picture of The Thunderbolt when it was standing (not he afore mentioned go-kart track in teh bottom left hand corner).

The Thunderbolt is no longer there. It was torn down in 2000 to build Keyspan park, which is why it's not in the sattelite photo you saw.

The warriors base was Stauch's bath on Surf Avenue.  Check out this painting this guy did of it, it gives you a view of the warriors hq from the beach.

Thats a cool searching for that, because i was trying to get a map of coney island. I was
looking though my history book(Becasue it had something with coney island) didnt see a map.
But thats a great view of coney and a great spot. Thanks
