Here is the entrance sign to Astroland, the seaside amusement park in Coney Island, NY. Astroland is home to the world-famous Cyclone roller coaster, one of the oldest still-operating coasters in the world. The Cyclone was first placed into operation in 1927 and moved over to Astroland in 1975. In 1988, the coaster became a landmark and historical site. With 3,000 feet of track, the Cyclone is a rip-roaring bit of fun.

This Astroland sign displays the character of the park. Or as the photographer states, "full of bite."

Coney Island is also home to the Wonder Wheel. Another survivor of the "Golden Age" at Coney, the ancient wonder wheel has operated at Deno's Wonder Wheel Park since 1920. It is a giant, unique ferris wheel in which cars along its inner diameter rock back and forth at unannounced intervals. The neon on the sign travels from car to car, giving it an animated touch. The Wonder Wheel is a NYC landmark.
