Coney Island is a small amusement park and waterpark located in Cincinnati, Ohio and Anderson Township, on the banks of the Ohio River 10 miles (16km) east of Downtown Cincinnati. The park is currently owned by Brenda Walker.[1]

- 4 External Island\'s beginnings date back to 1867 when an apple farmer by the name of James Parker purchased 400 acres (1.6km2) of land along the shores of the Ohio River. James soon realized in the early 1870s the popularity of the farm\'s location, and that renting it out was more profitable than his apple orchard. He eventually added a dining hall, dancing hall, and bowling alley. He later sold the land in 1886 for $17,500 to a company called Ohio Grove Corporation headed by two steamboat captains. In time for the opening on June 21, 1886, the name was officially changed to \"Ohio Grove, The Coney Island of the West\" in an effort to link the park with the famous New York destination. Fortunate enough to be on a riverfront location, riverboat soon became the most popular method of transportation for park visitors. In 1887, \"Ohio Grove\" was completely dropped from the name as the park became known simply as \"Coney Island\".[1]
Over the years, the park became a full-fledged amusement park, complete with rides and carnival games. In that capacity, Coney Island was a Cincinnati institution. However, the park\'s proximity to the river made it prone to frequent flooding. In 1968, park management entered into talks with Taft Broadcasting for the purpose of developing a new park on higher ground. Taft responded by buying Coney Island outright in 1969, and construction began the following year on the new site located in Deerfield Township of Warren County 25 miles (40km) north of Cincinnati on Interstate 71. Coney Island closed its amusements on September 6, 1971 as most of its rides were moved to the new theme park, Kings Island.
After Kings Island opened in 1972, Taft Broadcasting intended to sell Coney Island\'s land for redevelopment. However, with the company\'s decision to open another theme park in Virginia (Kings Dominion) and its acquisition of Carowinds on the North Carolina-South Carolina border, the property\'s redevelopment became a low priority. Less than two years after closing, Coney Island would reopen permanently in 1973. The park was only a shadow of its former self but still featured several popular attractions. The Sunlite Pool — still the largest recirculating swimming pool in the world[2] — was one of those attractions that helped Coney Island remain a popular summertime destination.
The park donated 15 acres (61,000m2) of land for the construction of Riverbend Music Center which opened in 1984. The land was the former location of the Wildcat and Shooting Star roller coasters. The amphitheater serves as the summer home of the Cincinnati Symphony and Pops Orchestras as well as a concert venue for other musical acts. In 1991, Coney Island was purchased by Cincinnati businessman Ronald Walker. No longer held back by a corporate entity, management has been able to restore Coney Island as a traditional amusement park with familiar rides such as the \"Tilt-A-Whirl\", bumper cars, carnival games and musical shows.[3]
