I have a soft spot for the faded grandeur of Coney Island, which to me epitomises 1950s nostalgia. The article needs some copy editing, most of which I'd like to do directly, having an interest, if that's ok with the nominator. This is a very comprehensive article; am leaning support after work, with

I fixed the one instance of "world's fair" in lowercase. I also capitalized the standalone word "fair". I believe "jump" is only capitalized when it's part of the proper name "Parachute Jump" and lowercase when it's a standalone word; I've fixed the one instance where this wasn't the case. Thanks for

From the pictures, it looks like these arms are still part of it (and weren't only there when operational). I might rephrase as "The ride has twelve cantilevered steel arms radiating from the top of the tower; during the ride's operation, these each supported a parachute attached to a lift rope and

On images: I do see the one image from the 1939 era, from the
Library of Congress. I would strongly suspect that anything published in connection with the Fair, leaflets, guidebooks, postcards, is in the public domain, either through not being copyrighted at the time or though it not being renewed.

I note that you mention the 250 ft plus 12 feet both in the
Description section and the one on the Fair, with the latter phrased as if you hadn't already introduced the subject. Maybe change the sentence to something like : "A 12-foot flagpole was added to the original 250-foot elevation to surpass

808:"A ride on the Parachute Jump was included within an admission ticket to Steeplechase Park, which cost 25 cents (equivalent to $ 4.26 in 2018) at the time of the ride's relocation. " I might say "with" rather than "within". And is it one ride or could someone ride as many times as they liked?
623:
I have two issues with the third paragraph of "Description". First, it is ambiguous whether the parachute was closed during the ascent, as you mention riders boarding beneath the closed parachute but then speak of it being open both on ascent and descent. Also, I'm not sure you're completely

Nah, that was the one section I had trouble finding sufficient sources for, especially since these aren't related to the Coney Island ride. Now that it's removed, I don't have to worry about it anymore. I just don't see myself being the argumentative type, anyway - I'd prefer collaboration.
1274:
In this case, yes. The first mention is within the general description of the
Parachute Jump, and the second is within a chronological context (following the news reports of people scaling the tower). However, in the description section, I've removed the year of installation.
662:
Not actually sure, and I can't speculate as to why. The only source that mentions the May 27 opening in detail is the NY Times (which is a pretty reliable source), and even the Times doesn't give a reason for why it only started operating a month after the fair opened.
900:"The planned renovation would have cost $ 20 million, excluding the large amount of insurance that would need to be paid on the ride." This reads awkwardly. After the comma, I might suggest, "excluding the cost of insurance, that would be high." or similar.

I believe it is correct that if there is no notice before 1978, they are in the public domain, and if copyright was not renewed, they are in the public domain. Copyrights were not renewed unless they needed to be for economic reasons.
