Coney Island Park Plan Aims to Rival Disneyland
New York city planning officials proposed converting Steeplechase Park and Steeplechase site at Coney Island into a year round entertainment complex. Joel Tyler urged purchasing the 12 acre riverfront site for a $3 million diverse recreation center with rides, domed areas, dining and 7 500 car parking. The plan follows the 1964 sale of the 32 rides site to Fred C Trump for 2.5 million, amid opposition from local leaders to more housing. The advisory committee urged immediate city acquisition of Steeplechase Park and winterizing beach facilities, plus landmarking the parachute jump.
