Aquarium to Cyclone
Start beside the New York Aquarium, then view the Cyclone’s wooden structure. Separate an aquarium visit and roller-coaster ride from the walking time
Wheel and local history
Continue to the Coney Island USA museum and Wonder Wheel. The museum explores the neighbourhood and its entertainment; the wheel retains unusual swinging cars
Reach the boardwalk
The final section follows Riegelmann Boardwalk to the steel Parachute Jump. The tower is a historic landmark, not an operating ride
