Mayor Bloomberg today announced the official start of
the summer season in Coney Island with the opening this
Saturday of the beach, two brand new thrill rides, and
the beginning of seven-day-a-week amusement operations
in the historic entertainment district. The two new rides,
Boardwalk Flight and Coney Island Raceway, are part of
the second phase of development of the Scream Zone amusement
park, which, along with Luna Park, has helped draw a record
number of visitors back to Coney Island since 2010.
