Canned Thrills at Coney Island in the 1920s
Some called them "canned thrills" which paled in comparison to real life activities like riding in a motor car or traveling on horseback. But, at Coney Island in the 1920s, the rides were anything but simple or cheap. From the looks of these attractions, it looked like one might lose an eye or some hair going on some of the rides!

My dad rode all of those and still remembers them. The last one, he said pinched the shit out of you. He loved the steeple chase but said it was kinda dangerous.
Is the organ at the beginning the "Silver Bell" 65 key Gebruder bruder organ once at Coney Island?
