"Lunar" Park? Is this an old or new poster? You do know that they electrocuted one of the elephants that built Luna Park, don't you?

This is an old poster - and yes I have seen the horror footage of the marvel of electricity being unleashed on the poor elephant. The Coney Island Museum has the footage in their 'What the Butler Saw' machine. It's also in a pretty good documentary: "Coney Island" PBS Video by Ric Burns.

Thanks for getting in touch.
