It may be approaching the century mark, but this iconic New York City ride is still thrilling people of all ages.
A chilly weekend didn’t stop the big Luna Park kickoff party in Coney Island on Sunday. Those in attendance did need a jacket as they helped start the 2026 season.
This year also marks an important milestone for one of the rides: The Cyclone roller coaster is rolling into its 99th year in operation, just one shy of an almost-unheard of accomplishment for an amusement park ride.
A portion of the weekend’s ticket sales will support local organizations, like the Coney Island Sharks Sports Education Program and the Coney Island Public Library.
