288:"Vourderis stated that part of the wheel's allure had come from when he had proposed to his later-wife Lula atop the wheel almost four decades earlier, he had promised to give the wheel to his wife as a future gift" - This is ungrammatical. I'll let you chose how to fix this, but replacing the comma within a semicolon is probably the easiest way. 42: 266:"the thrill of a scenic railway, the fun of a Ferris wheel, and the excitement of the Chute-the-Chutes" - I'd almost go direct quotes here, just to signify that the Chute-the-Chutes is an item known at the time of the quote, since it's a bit of headscratcher just to sling in there. If you disagree with that, that's okay. 307:"and went into operation the next year." - My gut instinct would be to phrase it as "and reopened the next year" to avoid the implication that it was opening for the first time (obviously not true if the user read the rest of the article). Your editorial call here. 329:"A ride on the Wonder Wheel costs 10 credits; the cost of each credit varies depending on how many is purchased, but generally costs $ 1 if purchased individually" - Just to make sure I'm reading this right, this signifies each credit costs $ 1? 199:"it was sold to the Vourderis family, who continues to operate" - Since the family as a unit is the object here, I would think that the singular continue would be the more grammatical form, but I may be wrong. 80: 47: 70: 173:
You state that Coney Island hand a financial and economic decline. This seems a bit repetitive to me, but maybe you meant something distinct by each one.

Ref #24 has "DENO'S WONDER WHEEL" is all caps. Unless the source directly stylizes it like this, it should probably not be in all caps for MOS reasons.

I generally consider NY Post reliable for city-related news, unreliable for gossip, and questionable for politics.
221:- The reference number parameter is not cited in either the infobox or the text; it should be cited somewhere. 203:
Actually, "continue" would be plural. Weird, but see "the families continue" vs. "the family continues".

notable? If so, leave the redlink in the article. If not, it's probably best to remove the wikilinks.

I though it was referenced in the infobox, by the "date" parameter. Anyway, fixed.

That's about it. Good work so far, you're a prolific content improver.
248:
Yes, but creating an article about this is out of my league.
418:
Thanks, I appreciate it. I have addressed all of the above.

I removed "financial" as it's indeed is unnecessary.
