How funny was the 'Joy Wheel' ? kids flying off everywhere 
It wasn't in Coney Island but I used to love 'The Rotor' , man that was fun .Stuck to the wall , the floor dropped away, great fun.
The only bad thing was when it slowed down you used to slide down the wall & get a 'wedgey'.
just as funny was when my mate spewed after it stopped when the floor was raising us back up to leave the ride. 
Those were great times.
THE ROTOR . I remember in the 70's the mini mini dress was in and the girls across from you when it slowed down 'wedgies' what a site that was

I also remember the guy on the opposite side from you who had to much to eat would spew up , it would would travel out about 10" out then the centrifugal force would return it straight back in his face and hair.
