A tour of Coney Island amusement park in the 1940's. (From Mike Naughton)

Dick-Since Ringling is in Coney Island till Labor Day, your viewers might enjoy a look back to the Coney Island of yesteryear.Back then they had HAWAIIAN TROPICAL DRINKS, today we have SMOOTHIES. They had unusual people, today we turn the television channel to Medical Incredible to see folks that are too fat, too thin, too tall, really short. They even had a great title for one guest, "The Half Ton Teen", it sounds like Ward Hall is writing the copy. Kids love the merry-go-round but the lustre is a little dull since the shopping centers have carousels and video games.There is a nice segment on the CYCLONE, the world's most famous roller coaster. I was told that tickets to the Cyclone are $8.00 each. Mike Naughton
