I voted Coney Island because I honestly have more interest in visiting Coney Island at this point, given that I've been to Waikiki before and not the latter, and I'm not much of a beach person. I like the idea of visiting an urban coastal town and the classic sort of vibe Coney Island might have.
One of these places you visit for the actual beach and stay for a week. The other place you visit for the small amusement park, seedy boardwalk, and overrated hot dogs and still have people tell you that you should've visited its Russian neighbor a half mile away instead.
Coney Island is one of those places where you take the train out there once to see. After you've seen it once, you realize it isn't worth the hour+ train ride from the city to go see it again.
Waikiki is a place you spend a small fortune to stay for a week and fly 11 hours from the East Coast to get to. At the end of the week you ask yourself, "Man I wish I could stay longer".
