Games and Rides...Good times at Coney Island, 2009



Waiting on line for the Wonder Wheel.



Faceless couple in an embrace at the Wonder Wheel.



The Wonder Wheel, Coney Island.




Boys aboard the Polar Bear Express, a Coney Island favorite.




My favorite game in Coney Island since I was a kid. Aim and fire the water gun into the clowns mouth, which inflates the attached ballon. First one that pops wins. i like how the baby is the background is hanging in there too!



"Play it Your way"...the nerve-racking quarter game.



The Horse Race to the finish line, prizes dangle from the ceiling.



I remember riding these plastic motorcycles chasing and dogding other cars and obstacles on the moving screen.




Ambivalence about challenging the mechanical arm wrestler.



Freefall, free kids.




Father makes sure his son is prepared to fly.




"They don't touch you, do they???", asked this tense woman as she got strapped in for a ride through the Coney Island Haunted House.

Nice work capturing the spirit of Coney Island.

I really like the tenderness that comes across with the couple.
