The Coney Island Cyclone, an iconic rollercoaster, encountered significant safety issues on Thursday, leading to an evacuation of riders and an indefinite shutdown for repairs.
Despite the alarming malfunction where the coaster's train got stuck, fortunately there were no injuries reported among the riders who were evacuated safely from the ride.
In the aftermath of the incident, the city's Department of Buildings inspected the Cyclone and issued code violations to Luna Park, emphasizing the need for adherence to safety regulations.
This event not only raises concerns about the structural integrity of the near-century-old wooden coaster but also highlights the responsibilities of amusement parks in ensuring rider safety.
