The Cyclone and Luna Park
The Cyclone and Luna Park Review
The highlight of Coney Island's amusement park will always be the Cyclone. One of the oldest roller coasters still operating, the world-famous, wood-and-steel colossus first roared around the tracks in 1927 and is still making riders scream. Luna Park is the amusement grounds that grew up in place of Astroland; it's fun if you keep your expectations in check—the rides are mostly for kids.
