Club

Island
CINCINNATI
.
OHIO
"
Coney
Island
is
an
amusement
park
on the
banks
of the
Ohio
River
east
of
Cincinnati
.
It
started
as an
apple
orchard
farm
owned
by
James
Parker
. He
soon
realized
that
it
was an
attractive
place
for
visitors
. The
orchard
was then
sold
to
Ohio
Grove
Corporation
.
It
was
officially
named
"
Grove
Park
, the
Coney
Island
of the
West
" and
opened
on
June
21
,
1886
. In
1887
, the
Grove
Park
name
was
dropped
, and
it
became
Coney
Island
.
Despite
suffering
through
the
Great
Depression
,
World
War
I
,
World
War
II
, and
constant
flooding
of the
Ohio
River
it
became
"
America's
Finest
Amusement
Park
".
Over
the
years
,
it
became
a
full
fledged
amusement
park
, with
rides
and
carnival
games
. In
1968
,
it
was
sold
to
Taft
Broadcasting
and
moved
25
miles
north
of
Cincinnati
. With the
opening
of
Kings
Island
in
1971
, the
park
began
to
close
, with
only
Sunlite
Pool
remaining
open
.
No
longer
restricted
by
it's
parent
company
, the
successor
to
Taft
Broadcasting
,
Coney
Island
has
again
become
a
traditional
amusement
park
with
rides
.
Coney
Island
is
still
an
amusement
park
that
thrills
thousands
of
Cincinnatians
.
