City - NY - Everything for your amusement 1905 Ceramic Tile

Colourized photo from 1905 Original title: Dreamland Park Location: Coney Island, Brooklyn, NY Coney Island has a long history, lots of rides and interesting attractions. They had vaudeville acts that amazed many. Magic tricks, comedy things far more interesting than that set of elephants walking behind those people, all of whom are entranced by what they see. They had amazing animal shows, and many of the rides we use today started at this place. The park has been rebuilt a number of times. Fires over the years gutted most of the park. In 1903, the park was totally destroyed, it was reopened in 1904. And again in 1911 it burned down all over again. But in its day it was a spectacular place to visit.
