""Every single season, we always try honoring the tradition, but also adding something new," said Zamperla, whose family has managed the park since 2010."
"A smooth opening this season will be particularly important, he said, as the park expects an influx of new visitors from both America's 250th anniversary and the FIFA World Cup."
"Preparing the park's legendary rides themselves is a months-long effort, Zamperla said, as both Department of Buildings inspectors and in-house engineers begin evaluating the equipment, some of which is a century old."
"The roller coaster, a designated landmark and one of the oldest operating wooden coasters in the nation, is inspected with care each season by "master carpenters," Zamperla said."
Luna Park in Coney Island is set to open for its 99th season, offering discounted $40 unlimited passes. CEO Alessandro Zamperla emphasizes the importance of a smooth opening, especially with upcoming events like America's 250th anniversary and the FIFA World Cup. The park is preparing for an influx of visitors and its 100th birthday in 2027. Employees are being trained, and inspections of the rides, including the historic Cyclone roller coaster, are ongoing to ensure safety and readiness for the summer season.
