For 1905 this is …
For 1905 this is pretty good- pre chaplin, etc., not many films had any sort of “plot” this early on . But one has to sort of wonder – did they need to utilize the first two or three minutes of film of them getting in and then out of the car? Wonder if there was originally more to this film as it ends rather abruptly. It really leaves one wishing for more shots of steeplechase and dreamland! Stuff like the chutes the chutes is missing completely but the swings scene is drawn out. Interesting.

They were wool suits. My grandfather told me about Coney Island from when he was a boy in the 1900’s. Wow.
What a fabulous …
What a fabulous video. I love the school teacher chasing after the girls as they defy her having too much fun, especially in the barrel ride! She’s always chasing the girls and waving her umbrella at them!
these young people …
these young people today… showing their bare forearms for all the world to see. disgusting. flag!
I have to say in …
I have to say in response to you saying I am wrong that “Of course you would say that!!” But you also did say it looks nothing like it used to…. It isn’t purely by chance that it looks the way it does now… or is it? I am quite certain that the place looks like it does as do many of the rundown cities because of a certain element…. And it isn’t because of the Belgians French or Germans either!
I have to say that …
I have to say that you are wrong for saying that,Regardless of one’s Race, whoever owns, or has rights to Coney, that is their fault.
The politically …
The politically correct will lambaste me for saying this but we all know it’s true. When you allow EVERYBODY from the 3rd world without restriction into the country & ration immigration from civilized nations, the quality of your nation goes down along with the state of the cities Coney Island is now part of a foriegn land whose origin is unknown. I am certain that if we let more Europeans into the country vs the 3rd world, the US would be a lot better off! Just beware of those Norwegians!
in some ways yes. …
in some ways yes. and in some ways not. we have really gotten through technology. but the crime and drama has not been good
no its true, it was …
no its true, it was terrible for people who were not white and rich then. kids had to work if the folks were poor, and it really sucked for all but the wealthy but this part here, its great, and look how clean the water is, thats the atlantic, kids!
Coney island use to …
Coney island use to be really good. Look at it now. Nothing compares to what we see in this video.
it took 3 times …
it took 3 times watching it, i realized that this is the earliest form of movie location acting. the beach scene it is the one without the stockings who falls in the hole, the ladies are told also not to look at the camera, the camel scene with schoolmarm running after them and hoops with same scolding thing are acts prepared in advance by a director. i did not notice the first two times. these are rich girls and edison was part of the business deal to do this bet it was connections with dads.
firewilson81 – They …
firewilson81 – They probably rented the suits from a bath house and stored their clothes there too.
As for the suits made of wool, I’m not sure of that, but I wouldn’t be surprised.
LOL! I said the same thing when I saw the camel.
I lived in Coney Island for a few years, and have always been fascinated by old Coney Island.
where did they get …
where did they get the bathing costumes from? was this rental and leave the clothes in a cabana?the bathing suits are wool i heard, how awful that must have been wool and saltwater and sand, ugh, and sun too! the girls look like todays people when their hair is down. somehow the past people seem in a way not like they are going to be like us, you know?weird that all in the film and the filmer are dead, but the stuff is still here. those were rich girls, private school. camel in coney island, wow
Those times look …
Those times look fascinating and simple
Ha Ha I’m Still …
Ha Ha I’m Still Alive
Sorry
just how was it …
just how was it horrible?

gatheringleaves should kill himself
It saddens me to …
It saddens me to see where New York has come to since this video was filmed
Or maybe it was just like this for wealthy people
Either way, I feel it was better back then
