Luna Park in New York

In the early twentieth century, several amusement parks opened their doors on Coney Island. A major fire in 1944 destroyed much of the parks, but fortunately, iconic Coney Island rides such as the Cyclone roller coaster, which opened in 1927, and Nathan’s famous hot dog stand escaped the fire. In 2010, a new Luna Park opened with more than 25 attractions. The amusement park is located on a boulevard full of kitschy shops and eateries.

Attractions in Luna Park

There is something for everyone at Luna Park, from fast roller coasters to a go-kart track and from a merry-go-round to an arcade. For over a hundred years, Coney Island has been the place for entertainment in New York, making some of the attractions renowned.

You could compare the amusement park to a funfair. And like any great fair, Luna Park offers several typical food options, like hot dogs, burgers and ice cream, making the whole experience complete.

Wooden roller coaster the Cyclone

The Cyclone is not only the third fastest wooden roller coaster in the world, but also an official New York City Landmark, giving it protected status. With a speed of 60 miles an hour (96 kilometres per hour), exhilarating drops, sharp turns and 27 height variations, this roller coaster delivers plenty of excitement. Coney Island’s ‘Big Momma’ is definitely worth a visit when you’re in Luna Park.

Sling Shot

The name of the attraction says it all; you will be fired at a speed of more than 90 mph (144 km/h) and reach a height of 150 feet (45 metres). The spherical construction with an elastic band on both sides can make you feel as if you can fly.

Thunderbolt

If you are a big fan of roller coasters, I highly recommend a ride on the Thunderbolt. The roller coaster has a 90-degree drop, sharp turns and enough G-force to get the adrenaline pumping.

Eric’s Tip: “The best time to visit Luna Park is during the week. On these days it is quieter and you won’t have to queue as long. This way, you can visit all the attractions in one day. You can also combine the theme park with a visit to the aquarium on Coney Island.”

Practical Information

Luna Park is divided into several sections, with Deno’s Wonder Wheel Amusement Park in between. With your ticket, you can pick up a wristband at the Guest Services Windows. Depending on the type of wristband, it gives you unlimited access to Luna Park attractions; however there may be an extra charge for some attractions. The Coney Island amusement park is fun to visit with children, as there is an attraction for everyone, from mild to extreme thrill.
