Slide show #5
Update: Of course anyone who knows roller coasters can tell that this is not The Cyclone, but rather The Jumbo Jet.
Obviously I am not one of those people who knows roller coasters though. Oh well.
This is a view of the famous Coney Island roller coaster The Cyclone Jumbo Jet.
The object in the distance is a glorified elevator that is round and costs $2 to ride up in. When you are at the top you have a spectacular view of all the kitsch that is Coney Island.





I love how you're looking through the chain link fence. At first I thought that it was in the background and then realized you were shooting through it. Very cool!

That's the Jumbo Jet not the Cyclone

Yes! You are right. I took the photo in 2003 and forgot the specifics - just that it was a roller coaster at Coney Island. I'll update the post.
