EDITORS COMMENTS
This 8 x 10 inch photograph, dating back to the early 1900s, transports us to the iconic Coney Island amusement park in New York City, USA. The image, captured between 1903 and 1906, showcases the thrilling attraction known as 'Shoot the Shoots' or 'Chutes.' This water chute ride, a precursor to modern water slides, was a popular sensation during the era, drawing crowds from near and far. The photograph, a dry plate negative or glass negative, is a testament to the rich heritage of American photography and the evolution of amusement park entertainment. The image is filled with a sense of excitement and anticipation as riders, dressed in early 20th century attire, prepare to embark on the daring ride. The water chute, with its steep drops and splashy finish, promises a thrilling experience, making it a must-try attraction for visitors to Coney Island. The photograph, now part of the prestigious collections at the Library of Congress, serves as a reminder of the joy and adventure that defined the early days of amusement parks in America.
