(FOX NEWS) — A near-century-old iconic Coney Island roller coaster in New York City was shut down indefinitely after malfunctioning during a ride on Thursday.
Operators shut down the Cyclone, Luna Park’s 97-year-old wooden roller coaster, as it was climbing up to its famed drop because of a damaged chain sprocket in the motor room, according to the Associated Press.
