HOP TO IT: “Big Bounce America” brings its record-breaking bounce house to Floyd Bennett Field for 10 days, starting on July 26. Big Bounce America
JUMP FOR JOY
World’s biggest bounce house comes to Floyd Bennett Field
BY AIDAN GRAHAM
This party is blowing up!
An enormous infl atable playground
is bounding into Brooklyn!
“Big Bounce America” will
bring its record-breaking bounciness
to Floyd Bennett Field on
July 26, giving both children and
adults a chance shed their shoes
and have some infl atable fun, according
to the company’s founder.
“It’s the biggest bounce house
in the world — that’s according
to the Guinness Book of World
Records. That’s the focal point of
the event,” said Cammy Craig.
“We also have a giant infl atable
obstacle course, and another section
that’s full of different spaceinspired
infl atables for people to
play on.”
That bounce house, a giant
monument to jumping joy that is
larger than a baseball diamond,
features a ball pit, climbing towers,
basketball hoops, and a deejay
station to keep the party hopping,
said Craig.
“That’s really where the party
is,” he said. “We’ve got a lot going
on in there, from limbo competitions,
dance competitions, dodgeball.
It’s really interactive and
fun.”
Those with a competitive
bounce in their step can take a
turn climbing infl atable walls
and pushing through blow-up
barriers on “The Giant” — an airfi
lled obstacle course that spans
nearly the length of three football
fi elds — and try and beat the twominute,
40-second course record,
said Craig.
“The giant obstacle course really
brings out the competition element.
People are running around
trying to beat each other,” he said.
“It’s actually very diffi cult, but it’s
achievable.”
Guests can also take a trip
to the other-worldly “AirSpace”
section, which features gigantic
spaceship-themed slides and
alien-inspired mazes, which are
Body parts
wash up at
Coney beach
BY ROSE ADAMS
After discovering a severed leg
near New York Aquarium last
week, police continue to fi nd human
remains in the water off Coney
Island Beach.
The additional body parts
were discovered amid rocks off
W. Fifth Street at 6:30 p.m. on
Saturday, July 13, cops said.
A spokesman for the Police
Department could not describe
the discovery in detail, but eyewitness
accounts suggest the
entire corpse may remain unaccounted
for.
“My friend asked the cop, ‘Is
that the body?’ and he said, ‘Well,
sort of,’” recounted Marine Park
resident Jill Martino, who said
the patrolman claimed he was
carrying only “a little bit” of the
body.
Saturday’s grisly fi nd follows
last week’s recovery of a
severed leg , which police scuba
divers recovered on Thursday,
July 11, along with a set of keys
at roughly the same location, according
to authorities
Offi cers closed off a section
of Coney Island Beach while actively
searching for the remains
following an early July 6 sighting,
but the area was reopened to
the public in-between search efforts
— before the leg was recovered,
according to Martino.
“People were swimming everywhere
they wanted,” said
Martino, who frequents the
beach daily.
Beach-goers were not thrilled
to learn that severed human appendages
were, and may still be
fl oating in the water off Coney Island
Beach.
“So insane,” said Sam Ali
from Queens, who was lounging
on the beach with his friend. “I
don’t feel safe anymore.”
