Coney Island Cyclone needs repairs before it can reopen for rides

CONEY ISLAND, Brooklyn (PIX11) – Luna Park’s Coney Island Cyclone remained out of service Monday and will require repairs before it can reopen for rides, authorities said.

Operators shut down the iconic Brooklyn roller coaster on Thursday due to a crack on the chain sprocket in the ride’s motor room, according to the New York City Department of Buildings.
