There was also one in Paris as part of the Moulin Rouge Garden Party that was apparently designed with inspiration from the Coney Island one.
Whilst digging, I also learned that the giant structure had been inspired by James V Lafferty’s “Elephantine Colossus”, a seven-story tourist attraction and hotel built on Coney Island in 1885, pictured below.
Brennend heißer Sommerstyle,
nur dass wir grad Februar ham
Jeder weiß es is höchste Zeit
doch keiner geht vom Gas
Wie weit wollt ihr gehn
und wie lang schaut ihr zu?
Wenn die Erde brennt
habt ihr dann endlich genug?
