Believe or not there's a Coney Island in Cuba, in the section of Marianao, La Concha Beach in Habana... (I can't believe I still remember this) I was 7 the last time I was there. And there is, or was, a Montaña Rusa which I was horrified to ride on. The way I remember it, it looked like a 20-story building, so dark and old looking. I remember once there was an accident in which a lady got her long hair caught in a structural beam and got killed. Another time a clown faked a jump from the top of the roller coaster by throwing a life-size doll of a clown and I saw it and it completely traumatized me. Later he walked around in bandages and everybody booed behind him.

Me acuerdo de mí papi llevando me a Hull, Massachusetts donde estuvo "Nantasket Amusement Park," Tenía diez años. La montaña rusa me austó mucho pero al fin me la gustaba. Mi papa ha fallecido hace muchos años, pero las memorias vivirán para siempre! I remember my dad taking me to Hull, Massachusetts where "Paragon Park," used to be. I was ten years old. The roller coaster scared me, but finally I came to like it a lot. My dad died many years ago, but the memories will live forever!

Aunque no lo crean, existe un parque llamado Coney Island en Cuba, en el barrio de Marianao, La playa Concha en La Habana… (No puedo creer que aun me recuerde de esto) tenia 7 años la ultima vez que estuve allí. Y allí hay, o había, una Montaña Rusa en la cual tenia horror montar. De la forma que la recuerdo, se parecía a un edificio de veinte pisos, viejo y oscuro. Me recuerdo que una vez una mujer murió allí, cuando su largo pelo accidentalmente se enredó en una de las columnas estructurales. En otra ocasión un payaso fingió lanzarse de lo alto de la Montaña Rusa, lanzando un muñeco del tamaño de una persona vestido de payaso. Yo lo vi, y me traumatizó completamente. Luego, caminó entre el publico todo lleno de vendajes y la gente le perseguía abucheándole.
