Coney Island - Rides & Shows List


The material is copyrighted © 1998 by Jeffrey Stanton.

Revised June 3, 1998

This ride list was begun by Professor Manbeck in 1995 and then greatly expanded and completely reworked with my research notes using Billboard magazine. Unfortunately it is by no means complete since I read it quickly and usually just read the issues from mid-March through the end of July, sometimes through the end of August, from 1904-1955. I also read many of the New York Times articles and May issues of the Brooklyn Eagle from 1902-1920.

Those who have researched Brooklyn newspapers may be able to add to the list, correct it, or provide missing ride descriptions. Many of the rides that are currently at Coney Island today are not on the list (see Independent Rides near end of list.)



Accuracy of List & Completeness

  • Sea Lion Park 1895 - 1902 -- 60%
  • Steeplechase 1897 - 1907 -- 75%
  • Steeplechase 1907 - 1924 -- 85%
  • Steeplechase 1925 - 1964 -- 98%
  • Dreamland 1904 - 1911 -- 95%
  • Luna Park 1903 - 1920 -- 95%
  • Luna Park 1921 - 1944 -- 85%
  • Independent Rides 1875 - 1910 -- 50%
  • Independent Rides 1911 - 1955 -- 65%
  • Independent Rides 1956 - 1997 -- 20%


Note: I've attempted to give the date the attraction was installed. When it says m 1925, it means that is the first or last time the ride is mentioned in print. It could have been installed earlier and lasted for years after that.
