The Coney Island Cyclone has been indefinitely put out of service due to a crack in a chain sprocket identified by the New York City's Department of Buildings.
Despite the Coney Island Cyclone's long history of technical challenges, including a 2015 stall caused by cold weather, this recent issue raises concerns about ride maintenance and safety.
Luna Park faces two violations from the Department of Buildings: one for improper maintenance of the Cyclone ride and the other for failing to promptly report the damage.
Before the Coney Island Cyclone can reopen, it must undergo thorough inspection and repairs, but as of now, the timeline for reopening remains uncertain.
