Visiting the Coney Island History Project and seeing an original Steeplechase horse brings back vivid memories for Rosalie Diamond of coming to Coney Island as a teen in the 1950s. She recalls the clowns at Steeplechase, riding the Parachute Jump, and trips to Nathan's with her family. Diamond says that once every summer she comes to Coney Island with her children and grandchildren.
