"科尼島再次讓遊客驚喜"

紐約海灘度假勝地正在進行大規模的重建，想要找回之前的光輝。

科尼島在19世紀早期就開始吸引遊客，在1920到30年代達到鼎盛。在第二次世界大戰以後這個區域就逐漸衰微，很多地標都被遺棄了。不過現在都已經改變了，因為開發商進駐要讓這個在紐約布魯克林的海濱區恢復生氣。購物中心和運動酒吧都在計畫當中，科尼島已經有一些非常熱門的景點。

在2010年五月月亮公園在濱海區開張，加上吸引小朋友的遊樂園助長，為這個地區帶來了1,400萬的遊客。這個新開發區和1940年代燒毀的一個著名的舊遊樂園有同樣的名稱。其它舊的科尼島地標比那個遊樂園更加成功，而且1927年的旋風過山車依舊能夠運轉。它佇立在一些全新的遊樂器材旁邊，像是飛天老鷹和越野障礙賽馬。

還有很多其它新的遊樂器材可以讓你開心或讓你驚嚇，但這絕不是這裡僅有的娛樂。海灘旁邊還有電影放映、週五夜間煙火秀、馬戲團空中飛人和雜技演員。至於食物，沒有比納森餐廳更好的地方可以去了，它正是每年舉辦納森熱狗大胃王比賽的地點。

(Travel) Coney Island Is Thrilling Visitors Once Again

The New York beach resort is undergoing a massive redevelopment to bring back its former glory.

Coney Island began attracting visitors in the early 19th century, and it reached its heyday in the 1920s and 30s. The area fell into decline after the Second World War, and many of its landmarks lay abandoned. Thats all changing now, though, as developers are moving in to revitalize the beachfront area in New Yorks Brooklyn. Shopping centers and sports bars are planned, and Coney Island already has a few attractions that are very popular.

In May, 2010, Luna Park opened by the seafront, and the child-oriented amusement park helped bring an estimated 14 million people to the area. The development shares its name with a famous old park that burnt down in the 1940s. Other old Coney Island landmarks have fared better than that, and the 1927 Cyclone rollercoaster is still operational. It stands next to some brand-new rides called the Soarin Eagle and Steeplechase.

There are plenty of other new amusement park rides to amuse or terrify you, but thats not all you can do here. There are also movie screenings by the beach, Friday-night firework shows, and circus trapeze artists and jugglers. And for food, theres no better place to visit than Nathans, home of the annual Nathans Hot Dog Eating Contest.
