RayReyes Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Awww, 70 bucks!? That's expensive but a good deal too, but I'm I can put $100 on a luna card and save it till next season, then get the wristband on that year with the $100 luna card saved up already. Anywho I there for a job interview so I took pictures of the area W 10 Entrance Parts for the amphitheater? The Child Restaurant construction Parts for the amphitheater Looks like construction is going well IHOP Anyone? Can anyone tell me what's going to happen to ghost hole? I heard it might leave The Jump There's space for sale! The Wonder Wheel The cyclone was running for testing, a bit slow but I expected that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jcoaster Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Cyclone looks so awesome with the new paint job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyislandchris Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Agreed on the paint job; much needed and it looks absolutely beautiful! Regarding that "space for sale"; was that the lot that was previously housing the art walls & Smorgasburg last year? Also, any sign of Endeavor being assembled yet? Looks like there's still a limited number of those $80-for-two extreme wristbands left on Groupon as of this morning, so if you've not picked them up yet, definitely get in while the gettin's good.

Jcoaster Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 ^ Yea I have mine set and ready to go for opening day. Does anyone know if Thunderbolt will be open on opening day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyislandchris Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Does anyone know if Thunderbolt will be open on opening day? I can't say with 100% certainty, but I'd be shocked if it wasn't. Considering they were running it on New Years, I don't think temperature would be a factor here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite not liking it too much opening year, I rode it last year and it vastly improved. Gave me one of the crazier rides in recent memory. Maybe I just learned how to ride it.

Sadly Endeavor was not there when I went, and the space for sale used to belong to a bank of some sorts a long time ago, the art wall and the Smorgasburg is still there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyislandchris Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Pretty sweet shot from inside the shop where they're getting the Cyclone trains ready for the season, thanks to yesterday's New York Times: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx24 Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 Great pic. Only 10 more days! Already have my extreme wristband from groupon and am just counting down the hours until I'm strapped in to the back row of Cyclone. It's going to be so, so satisfying.

Jcoaster Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 I can't wait for next Sunday. That is a great picture of the Cyclone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyislandchris Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Looks like the new 2016 park map is up. Of note, it appears that the price has been raised on the Cyclone, and it is now 10 credits / $10 per ride, up from 9 last year. This brings it in line with Thunderbolt which is still staying steady at 10. I guess we're paying for the new paint job... In fact, this year it seems there's been a standardization across the board. All "mild thrill" rides are 3 credits, "moderate thrill" rides are 4 credits, and "high thrill" rides are 7 credits. In addition to the Endeavor, which has a posted minimum height of 48" and is classified as "high thrill", it appears that the kids section also got a classic Convoy ride installed, replacing the old Big Top Express. Windstarz has been bumped up from "mild thrill" to "moderate thrill". Assuming the weather holds up, I hope to be able to swing by Sunday afternoon or evening and get some photos!

Jcoaster Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I'll be headed there Sunday as well (weather pending) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyislandchris Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 From this article on BrooklynPaper.com, it appears that in addition to the fresh paint job for the Cyclone, Zamperla has also gone in and done some track work on it as well, including replacing some rough sections. I thought it was riding pretty well last season, so I'm impressed that they're continuing to keep up quality maintenance on this. Can't wait for Sunday!

RayReyes Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Neither can I, I'm ready for Sunday, I got the BOGO Wristband deal and I'm going to redeem it on opening day, I hope to see all of you there so I can introduce myself properly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx24 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Hopefully this new weather forecast of snow this Sunday doesn't come to pass. Hope to be there in the afternoon/evening, accompanied by JCoaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbucknyc Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Because of the impending snowstorm Coney Island’s Opening Day will be moved from Sunday, March 20 to Saturday, March 26. Image from Luna Park's facebook page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coneyislandchris Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Ugh. SNOW. Winter's not going out without a fight I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genx24 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 ^ On the first day of spring, no less. This stinks but luckily I only live 15 minutes away and the wristbands from Groupon are valid until May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayReyes Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Has anyone checked this out? http://www.amusingthezillion.com/2016/03/01/coney-islands-high-striker-queen-first-victim-of-eminent-domain/ It seems Ghost Hole and Monica's "Ring the Bell" is in the way of the city's plan to make "Wonder Wheel Way" a walkway that connects the Parachute Jump, The Wonder Wheel and The Cyclone, thoughts?

larrygator Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 It was mentioned back in October, but not too many here seemed to care. http://themeparkreview.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1638549#p1638549 Personally I have no issue with it, even though I love dark rides.

[attachment=0]Screen Shot 2016-04-01 at 7.26.25 AM.png[/attachment] I am so excited to try this thing out! I need to get back to the park within the next couple of months because when I went on opening day both Windstarz and Power Surge were closed (along with Endeavor of course). Also, I need to try out the platinum wristband now knowing that Slingshot takes single riders!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Like Theme Parks. Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I'm going to the park for the first time this August, and I'm super excited for Endeavor! I love enterprises, so this really seems awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
