This is pretty sophisticated stuff for 1903. Split into three films, its total running time is probably around 12 minutes. There's no plot as such, but it is a kind of story in that it tells us of a day at Coney Island enjoyed by a couple of country hicks. They are portrayed as a pair of buffoons, oafishly capering around Coney island, trying every ride they can and stuffing hot dogs into their mouths. There's even a laugh-out-load moment when the guy reaches the bottom of a slide only to have a dozen or so people immediately land on top of him. That's probably the only moment that a modern audience might conceivably find amusing today, but this probably had them rolling in the aisles back in 1903. The film's also worth watching for its capturing of turn of the century Coney island and the people who frequented it.
