There's nothing wrong with Coney Island that a $1.5 billion redevelopment can't fix. Some of the amazingly garish renderings for this project have previously made it to press, but Curbed has those and a few new ones in larger, more colorfully offensive form. We're particularly fond of the "virtual whales and mermaids dancing 150 feet in the air through a cascading waterfall" over the defiantly sleazy Nathan's Hot Dogs. Here's hoping they bring the same level of glitz to the boardwalk's "Shoot the Freak" booth.
