I would be very surprised if they keep old log flume, but that just means we have more new additions in the future. https://www.zamperla.com/thrill-rides/ I would like a newer version Air Race to replace the current one. Also I think the footprint for the old log flume is big enough to be replaced with two rides: Twist and Bounce, Super Spin and Energy Storm Here's the original Press Release https://www.nycedc.com/press-release/nycedc-and-nyc-parks-announce-plans-new-water-ride-adventure-park-and-public-plaza NYCEDC and NYC Parks Announce Plans for New Water Ride, Adventure Park, and Public Plaza on Coney Island Boardwalk August 23, 2018 City to Bring Log Flume, Adventure Park with Ropes Course, Public Plaza, and Arcade to Historic Coney Island Boardwalk Attractions Build on Administration’s Investments in Affordable Housing, Infrastructure, and Economic Development across Coney Island Coney Island, NY - New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and NYC Parks today announced plans to bring a new large-scale water ride, adventure park, and public plaza with open-air food options and an arcade to Coney Island’s world-famous amusement district. The City has selected Central Amusement International (CAI) to activate 150,000 square feet of City-owned land in the heart of the amusement district. This adds momentum to the Administration’s investments in affordable housing, infrastructure, cultural facilities, and economic development across the neighborhood. "Coney Island is both a cherished summertime destination and an important economic engine for South Brooklyn,” said James Patchett, President and CEO of New York City Economic Development Corporation. “With these exciting new attractions and our ongoing investments in housing and infrastructure, Coney Island’s future has never looked brighter.” “The Coney Island Amusement District is a nostalgic New York City destination, and we are proud to be a part of improving and evolving it for future generations to enjoy,” said NYC Parks Commissioner Mitchell J. Silver, FAICP. “We are confident that the new developments to Luna Park will add even more fun for the thousands of families that flock to Coney Island each year.” "Recapturing the best of Coney Island's past is a big part of the future at the People's Playground. This continues the revitalization of the amusement district, offering exciting new activities and attractions for residents and visitors alike to enjoy," said Council Member Mark Treyger (47th District). "It is an honor to work with the City of New York to continue the expansion of Luna Park and the revitalization of the historic Coney Island amusement district," said Alessandro Zamperla, President of Luna Park. “Our shared commitment to the constant growth and development of Coney Island has allowed us to burnish this iconic place. We are expanding Luna Park by 50 percent, adding new attractions and entertainment while also providing spaces where guests surrounded by timeless excitement can eat, play, rest, and escape the mundane. A spectacular new portal with thousands of glorious lights will welcome guests as they arrive from the subway, asserting Luna Park as one of the nation's most dynamic amusement destinations that must be visited by New Yorkers and tourists.” "As the birthplace of roller coasters and other iconic amusement attractions, it is remarkable to have new innovations continue to be added to our iconic landscape," said Alexandra Silversmith, Executive Director of Alliance for Coney Island. "We are ecstatic about EDC's announcement of the newest amusements and amenities that will be developed by Central Amusement International signalling the further revitalization of Coney Island. We look forward to these new additions bringing more thrills and fun to the area in 2019, and beyond!" "We are pleased to see Central Amusement International selected as the recipient of the Coney East Amusement RFP. With the many successes from CAI, we have confidence with them in filling in the amusement area with entertainment uses,” said Eddie Mark, District Manager of Brooklyn CB 13. Located next to the Thunderbolt rollercoaster, CAI will transform vacant land at the boardwalk into an exciting new log flume and an adventure park, featuring a ropes course for visitors of all ages to climb and enjoy views of the boardwalk and ocean. CAI is also activating street ends with public seating, landscaping, and a new public plaza with an open-air style eatery and entertainment area with an arcade and games. Activated street ends will better connect the Coney Island community to the historic amusements district with new seating, shade, and a pedestrian-only area which is closed off to cars. Building off of the City’s investment in the amusement district, NYCEDC and NYC Parks released a request for proposals (RFP) in 2017 to develop and operate five parcels of land totaling 150,000 square feet between Surf Avenue and the boardwalk, and between West 10th and West 16th Streets. This investment continues the City’s commitment to preserving the amusement district and creation of additional parkland, both enhancing the community and visitors’ experience of Coney Island, and generating vigorous economic activity in the neighborhood. Since 2014, the de Blasio administration has committed $180 million in infrastructure and other capital improvements through the Housing New York plan. The new attractions will build on the ongoing City investment across the Coney Island neighborhood to bring thousands of units of affordable and mixed-income housing, critical infrastructure upgrades, and improvements to cultural institutions including the restoration of the historic Child’s Building, including the addition of Kitchen 21, the new 5,000-seat Ford Amphitheater, and the recently-opened Ocean Wonders: Sharks! exhibit at the New York Aquarium. In 2009, a 19-block rezoning created a 27-acre amusement and entertainment district on Coney Island, along with plans to develop new amusements and thousands of affordable and market-rate homes. The full implementation of this plan, which continues today, is expected to generate up to 6,000 permanent jobs, 25,000 construction jobs, and $14 billion in economic activity.

I did! No crack! Maybe I'll give it a 3rd try.

I am currently eating a beef brisket sandwich and side of Mac n cheese at the Sangerfest Halle Food Court. The brisket is a little dry (I didn't add BBQ sauce), but the Mac n cheese is excellent, very cheesy.

And anyone over the age of 12 who says they enjoy them, is full of sh1t and or mentally challenged.

They still can.

Another great PTR. I'll add to the Park Index when I return from traveling next week.

"Man explodes into gift shop" should be entered into International Photography competition

Please refrain from making ridiculous predictions on Theme Park Review under the ruse that someone important ever spoke to you. Thank You

thank JordyC. I added most of your photos

I would love to see someone attempt this!

Metro Grill has good paninis (by Justice League) Another ride not to miss Houdini's Great Escape (if you haven't done the when at SFNE)

Here are your posts CedarFair1: In the first you told us to watch the teaser (which is a video, your video) In the second post you said your videos are not teasers. I repsonded, asking you to be clear in the future if you post a video that is your own. I never said it was Wonderland's, anyone with common sense knows it does not belong to CW or Cedar Fair. But it is not clear if it is your own video or one you found. And then you cop an attitude, sorry, but not sorry about your 7 day ban. You are only muddying the situation further. Please stop trying to justify what you wrote previously. In the future, if you post a video, state upfront if it is yours or not. What are you talking about.. It is my video! You make ABSOLUTELY no sense!

Knoebels is live streaming on Facebook. Water has risen above the foot bridges.

Also a big thank you to Canobie Coaster, JordyC and thrillrider (and other) for the recent Photo Trip Reports. I should be caught up adding them to the Park Index today (before I start traveling for the next 3 weeks). Remember great photos and comments (it doesn't have to be all jokes) help a lot in making a great report for me to include. Also, it shouldn't be all focused on coasters or one particular ride or area. When a visitor goes to the Park Index to learn about a park your PTR tells your story. Thanks everyone for continuing to contribute and visiting the Park Index.

Are people really factoring this into their trip planning? To be fair he said Leaving out the beginning of the sentence dramatically changes the recommendation. You are correct that no intelligent person should let the Twisted Timbers loose article policy be the deciding factor.

Any idea what is in this building at Hirakata Park? Looks looks a haunted swing to me.

Kings Dominion, especially is you are planning to get Fast Lane Plus.

I believe the shorter waits are influencing people's decisions, even if they won't admit it.

Yes, I've been to an Angels game before. Dodgers fans are much more into the game.

July 1st - Dodger Stadium (NO AMUSEMENT PARK PHOTOS) In between my afternoon at SFMM on Monday and morning/afternoon there on Tuesday I took my first visit to Dodger Stadium. Before I started taking trips riding coasters I wanted to visit every Professional Baseball stadium in the US. There are so many parks I should have visited that I haven't but I think I'm going to start visiting the remaining ones. Jewy knows the stadium well and ordered the tickets and called upon a mutual friends father to allow us access to all levels of the stadium where I geeked out with all the nostalgia. When we got back to our seat and sat down it was a close (if not scoreless game). Then the Dodgers erupted and ended up scoring 17 runs that night. Lots of fun. Some interesting food choices at the stadium but I passed Quite a few pitchers are honored with big balls Many people were hugging the players big balls I choose to only take pictures. The best ever during his Prime Appeared on an episode of The Brady Bunch A view from our seats, great sight lines Best announcer ever If you watched baseball in the 1980s you know what this is. And you recognize this guy, even if you don't know his name. His name is Mike Brito, I just never understood why the Dodgers were the only team that needed a scout to stand in that exact location for every game. Every kid who watched baseball in the 70s or 80s loved these vehicles. All the memorabilia was great Especially the Brooklyn Dodger stuff A friend of my family used to have a stadium seat

The park's 2019 announcement is scheduled for August 17th
