Coney Island tripping was fun. That place is so ghost-y already, given how much they've shut down in order to make it over anew. It's sad to think of those rides and such I didn't go on as not being there in another few weeks, but on another level it's completely understandable as some of the rides are sufficiently old and decrepit enough not to instill me with confidence in their lasting much longer anyway.

It's great that they'll keep the "classic" coaster, the Cyclone, though its memory will probably be raped when the new theme park opens to pretend like it is anything like the old Coney Island was. Personally, I'd rather they kept the tilting ferris wheel, as it was both different from normal ferris wheels and fun. Also, unlike the Cyclone, it didn't give me sprained neck muscles. No, seriously, my neck is killing me. I was so tensed against the painful jerks and throwing about you get on the Cyclone that instead of getting whiplash, I just pulled every muscle in my neck. Joy.

Listen you food snob, there's nothing wrong with Nathan's!
It is the first Nathan's, too, so it has as much right to be visited as your pizza shop! And, as it is WAY more famous than Whoever's Pizza Place, I give you a fie and a raspberry! :P!!!

Mmmmmmmm..... raspberry ^_^ <confessions of a raspberry fiend>

But sadly Nathan's Coney Island (at least last time I checked) is pulling there dogs from offsite like all the other Nathan's chains. That being the case there is no difference between locations (at least in the NYC area). On the other hand Totonno's is the kind of place that Ray's looks up to.... and we all know how famous Ray's is. A quality pizza is a work of art, and seeing it made in a more classic way is a sight to behold. Sadly all the art in a hot dog takes place where it is made...
