Speaking of Time Square. I remember one time in Manhattan, like somewhere near 42 st, but maybe not that close. There was like a big toy store, Toys R US maybe? Forgot. They had this weird paper plane thing constructed from I think cardboard paper. Dude threw this paper plane and it kinda "bommeranged", looped back back to the man and he caught it. I kinda wanted that thing, never got it.
I remember having a toy helicopter thing as a gift. Broke it during first flying attempt. If it were a modern DJI, it would never have crashed, that thing sucked, but I kinda got sad about it.
Also, I was in, well... not Long Island, but I've played at the beach in Coney Island. It was a fun beautiful memory. I think every time I was at the beach, I always try to make a model NYC Subway railway with the tunnel things, or it's an amalgamation combined with a castle, or something... forgot...
I also rode the ferris wheel at Coney Island... Every been there? There was like the ones that move and the non-moving carts. The moving ferris wheel carts were in red or blue or something, the non-moving ones where painted white. The non-moving ones ends up higher at the top, so it was scarier for my fear of heights, but its non-moving so its less scarier in thay regard. My entire body shaked during the ferris wheel ride, so much heights. I remember riding the Q train (or was it the F train?) when we used to explore NYC, that coney island railway segment was layered on top of the F train, like taller than 5 stories of a building, and it was so high, I got scared that the train would fall off. I think they even paused the train when there were storms, perhaps it is possible for those trains to fall off?
