There is a sense of adventure, a thrilling escape from daily worries, and much pleasure, whether riding the jarring Cyclone roller coaster, walking the boardwalk, viewing the Mermaid Parade, or sunbathing on the beach. Coney Island, America''s first amusement park, is celebrated worldwide. It is a fantasyland of the past with an irrepressible optimism about its future.
