The world-famous Cyclone roller coaster at Brooklyn's Coney Island has been temporarily closed following a malfunction detected when riders were on board, leading to safe evacuations.
Inspectors reported a crack in the chain of the ride during its ascent, prompting an immediate halt to operations as safety checks and repairs commence.
Luna Park has received two violations for not only failing to maintain the Cyclone but also for not informing the Department of Buildings about the incident.
Currently, one train car remains stuck on the Cyclone as authorities assess the situation and ensure that it can be safely reopened to the public.
