Historian Charles Denson’s latest video on his Coneyologist channel is “Cyclone Roller Coaster: Four Seasons.” This behind-the-scenes look at Coney Island’s landmark roller coaster lets you walk the tracks–summer and winter–and get up close to the machinery in the motor room. The soundtrack is awesome! Denson is director of the Coney Island History Project and the author of Coney Island: Lost and Found and Wild Ride: A Coney Island Roller Coaster Family.

I totally enjoyed the ride!
Me too. It’s like being there!
The video is a metaphor for Coney Island, you need to look inside. Loved it. Charlie really has an eye/sensibilty for video.
