Shoot Your Hearts Out at Luna Park, Coney Island

May 17, 2012 18 comments

Even if you are not a fan of taking thrill rides, the opportunity to go to one of the biggest amusement parks in the planet will definitely excite you. So, get ready with your favorite Lomo firearms to conquer this colorful and fun-filled land!

Luna Park was named after the legendary Luna Park of Coney Island’s past, which still packs a lot of exciting and colorful rides for both the young and the young at heart.

From the look of it, some of these rides will guarantee to scare the pants off some of you. :)

Take a seat at the various attractions found at the Luna Park on Coney Island, which is about 45 minutes by subway from New York City.

I must admit I was more of a “chickened out” bystander in the park who can’t stop clicking away.

Oh well, showing some teeth at the end to mark the well-spent day at the amusement park!
