Scream Zone Amusement in Coney Island: First New Roller Coasters

Among Scream Zone’s rides are the first major roller coasters in Coney Island since the world-famous Cyclone opened in 1927 – Soarin’ Eagle and Steeplechase.

"Last summer was Coney Island’s biggest in nearly a half century, and this year – with the addition of the first new roller coasters since the Cyclone opened in 1927 – it’s going to be even bigger," said Mayor Bloomberg.

The new Soarin’ Eagle roller coaster suspends riders in a horizontal position, sending them on a series of dives and inversions. Steeplechase pays tribute to an iconic ride from Coney’s past as it launches riders around a track on horseback. The Sling Shot launches riders more than 150 feet into the air at speeds exceeding 90 miles per hour. The 100-foot-tall Zenobio sweeps riders through the air at speeds of over 60 miles per hour.

Scream Zone will initially open on weekends through Memorial Day, when it begins daily operations. Like Luna Park, Scream Zone will maintain the open park layout that Coney Island is known for, and visitors will be able to pay per ride – between $7 and $20 for a single ride – using refillable “Luna Cards.” The parks will employ over 400 people this summer in positions such as customer service, retail, food and beverage service, park service, ride and game operations, party hosts, event staff, and grounds maintenance, and will help drive more visitors to existing neighborhood businesses.

In addition to Scream Zone, a number of new attractions will be added to the boardwalk area this summer. The Cyclone Café, a counter-service restaurant with diverse food offerings opened last week. This summer, Coney Island Development Corporation, NYC & Company, Rooftop Films and EpixHD will launch a new Coney Island Film Series with movie screenings on the beach. And Coney Cones, a new ice creamery on the boardwalk, will open later this summer.
