Bobby talks about being a young "urban explorer" in the 70's when Coney Island was "dirty and scary and rough" but still alluring. He remembers many of the attractions that no longer exist in Coney Island such as the bobsled and the diving bells. He rode on the Cyclone "Backfire," when the coaster rode backward on its tracks.
