Do certain places really live up to the hype? Well, let’s take two very popular places: Coney Island and Niagara Falls. At one point in your life you have been to either places or both. But are they still fun and entertaining every time you go or are u giving in to the hype.
When conducting my interview it was clear to see that more people went to Niagara Falls just to get the family together and others found Coney Island more fun and they always had something to do. At Niagara Falls, Terry Chanderpaul said, “It’s a fast trip to get the family together, I’ve been here about five times and it does get boring for me but I bring new family members here” and I interviewed Rahul Ashwin say, “It’s the only trip I can get my parents to go on because they like going to the casino but I rather explore different parts of the country.” When I interviewed people at Coney island they had something different to say, Catherine Singh say she loves coming here and it’s always fun, there is something fun to do. Keith Lawrence say every time he comes here it’s like a party.
Coney Island is a New York City neighborhood that features an amusement area that includes 50 or more separate rides and attractions; it’s not a centrally managed amusement park like Disneyland or Six Flags. Today, Coney Island is still a favorite vacation destination. On any vacation day, Coney’s beach and boardwalk teem with a wondrously eclectic mix of families and freaks. These visitors ride the landmark Wonder Wheel and Cyclone, and visit the New York Aquarium and Coney Island Sideshow. Since 2001, the Brooklyn Cyclones have played 32 home games a year at MCU Park, and the Mermaid Parade and Nathan’s Famous’ Hot Dog Eating Contest make the list of New York’s favorite events. The millions of visitors that come each year serve as a testament to the enduring love for this magical place.
Straddling between the US-Canadian borders, Niagara Falls draws around 12 million visitors per year, who might not realize that Niagara Falls is actually composed of three falls: American, Bridal and Horseshoe. They converge and crest over a 170-foot dolomite and shale cliff to plummet to the raging river below. All three waterfalls form the area that is collectively referred to as Niagara Falls, which reaches into the province of Ontario and New York state.
