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.
