An escalator. Seriously. Just an escalator. A 25 foot escalator.

Being a native and raised New Yorker who has visited Coney Island many time. I'm going to say the world famous Parachute.

    As a native New Yorker, I'll guess its the Steeplechase, but I also thought of the ferris wheel, known in Coney Island as the Wonder Wheel. First guess is Steeplechase.

    I've never been to Coney Island and I don't know anything about it except that I've heard they have good hot dogs. 

    I don't even have a guess for this question.  :-(

    I am going to guess it is a ferris wheel.   I just can't picture a roller coaster that far back.
