Not only Thinkwell Design is currently working on the MGM Movie resort theme park in South Korea - see below - but , too, on the revival of Coney Island.
Having recently acquired Astroland as part of their holdings at Coney Island, developer Thor Equities commissioned Thinkwell Design & Production to produce a new design for the site. Collaborating with Thor Equities’ team on this ‘extreme’ reincarnation of the beloved amusement park Thinkwell’s preliminary designs show a multi-tiered Amusement Park full of the whimsy expected when people visit Coney Island.

great idea (sarcastic). let's take coney island, the only way that the lower income population of the city can have a summer getaway for cheap, and turn it into an expensive, carbon copy theme park for rich white tourists.
coney island is about culture, about fishing off the dock to feed families and make a living, about history, about a free beach getaway. please don't take that away from new york.
Whoever posted the above comment didn't know what he was talking about.
The amusements at Coney Island have never been about "a free beach getaway" or "fishing off the dock." They've been about what all amusement parks are about. Paying to ride rides.
The beach will, I'm sure, remain public property. People will still be able to swim, sun, or fish as always.
Yeah umm...whoever wrote the first comment. Coney Island when it was new was beautiful, but this isn't the 1900s anymore sweetheart. No one in their right mind would go to Coney Island as a resort, also considering that there isn't a single motel there. I'd be glad to see disney take it over. They would keep it traditional but clean it up nice too. Seriously, have you ever even been to Coney Island? For one thing, there is one rollarcoaster that rocks back in forth which I'm sure disney would fix up so no one else dies on it. Secound, I was forced to pay 50 cents to use the restroom by a man who probably didn't even work there. Lastly, just about the only game there besides spraying water into clowns' mouths was called "Shoot The Freak" where a guy ran around a fenced in area and people payed to shoot him with a paintball gun. Classy. And don't think I dislike Coney Island. I dislike what it has become. It is a rich piece of history that deserves to be cleaned up, fixed up, and renewed.
