How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
Firefly Island is Broker's seaside fairground district, with the Funland amusement park, a boardwalk, a Ferris wheel and an unnamed tower that copies the Parachute Jump.
The real place
Coney Island is Brooklyn's historic seaside resort. Funland is modelled on Astroland, which closed in 2008, the year the game came out. The Ferris wheel copies the Wonder Wheel of 1920, and the tower copies the Parachute Jump, which was built for the 1939 World's Fair.
Visiting
Take the D, F, N or Q train to Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue. The rides at Luna Park and Deno's Wonder Wheel Park run roughly from Easter to October.
Coney Island is also in Marvel's Spider-Man 2. See all 2 games side by side
