television series American Experience on February 4, 1991.
520 In scale, in variety, in sheer inventiveness, Coney Island
was unlike anything anyone had ever seen, and eventually,
everyone came to see it. At the turn of the century, Coney
Island exploded in a forest of glittering electric towers
and a riot of rides, restaurants, recreated disasters,
freak shows, and historical displays when three vast
amusement parks -- Steeplechase, Luna Park, and Dreamland
-- were built. Indicative of its overwhelming popularity,
on a single day in September 1906, 200,000 postcards were
mailed from Coney Island. A showcase for the wonders of
the machine age, Coney Island was an extraordinary
amusement empire that astonished, delighted, and shocked
the nation -- and took Americans from the Victorian age
into the modern world.
