Luna Park - Coney Island Vlog May 2024

Join us as we continue our trip to Coney Island with a visit to Luna Park. This historic amusement park is home to the legendary Cyclone wooden coaster and in this video we experience this absolutely fantastic ride. Along with that we check out many of the other rides at Luna Park including Thunderbolt, Steeplechase and many more. We also check out the new additions to Luna Park including a family coaster and a water ride, both with awesome lighting at night!

    Unfortunately, that's very normal for boardwalk parks. Most boardwalk parks are far too expensive. I'm from Pennsylvania, and we go to the beach each summer, but we don't ride boardwalk rides. Instead, we visit Knoebels after our beach vacation because it's so much more affordable and, really, a fun park

    Thanks for another great vlog both! For such an Iconic park it's such a Shane that the customer service is so poor, they should be honoured to be working there in my opinion! The Cyclone looks incredible and such a long layout, I do think it needs the runner lights around the track to highlight it more though.

Have to say regarding the "rudeness", it is NYC and it is absolutely not uncommon for folks to be indifferent (been several times to visit friends and family) it's kind of an interesting stereotype. Addressing the prices, everything is very expensive in NY also not uncommon. Have a great trip!

    The Cyclone is owned by the City of New York Parks Department. Luna Park manages and operates it. GCI refurbished it a few years ago and kind of ruined it from what it was. It used to beat you up a bit…which was part of the character of the ride. Now it’s tame. And customer service? It’s New York, consider yourself lucky they don’t swear and yell at you. They used to yell at you on the Cyclone (again, part of the “charm” and the operators used to allow rerides if you handed them $6 in cash while still being on the ride. You could change seats, too.

    You both REALLY need to visit the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and ride the (100 YEAR OLD) Giant Dipper coaster!! It’s in beautiful California, the weather is great, it’s on a beach with WAVES (surfing right there!), the Giant Dipper is 10X BETTER than the Cyclone…….and everyone’s happy because it’s California!! 😀😎👍

    Wow that looks like a really quirky park and area. Seems like it would be really confusing to customers as to what rides are included and which park is which. The setting on the beach and with NY city in the back drop does seem amazing if the park was run better.

    Shawn and Charlotte, I just finished watching a documentary on the history of Luna Par, Dreamland etc and they were a lot more open and interesting in the old days. I get that we are a more litigative society, but there is something to be said for the time when prices were cheap and rides were big and rugged and downright scary. Have you seen the documentaries, what do you think? Cheer's, Rik Spector

    The Cyclone is on my top tier of wooden coasters, especially now that since its re-opening in 2022 Coaster at Playland in Vancouver (which originally opened in 1958) has violently automatically retracting seatbelts that replace a "scary" experience with one that is actually more likely to result in pain. Worse: those seatbelts ruin the ops more than they ruin the ride because operators must check each one. (Cedar Fair has seatbelts, but they're not violently retracting, nor are they the responsibility of the operators, and if you don't like them you can either adjust them or disconnect them completely). I guess the only coasters left with single position lap bars are Phoenix at Knoebles and Classic Coaster at the Puyallup St. fair in a suburb of Seattle Wa which uses trains that were used on the coaster that pre-dated the aforementioned Coaster at Playland in Vancouver. There were actually TWO coasters at the PNE grounds in Vancouver built BEFORE "Coaster"; the 1st was built before the WW1; it was replaced by the 2nd built in the 20's that lasted until the late 40s. Single bench trains that were used for that coaster are now still being used at "Classic Coaster at the Puyallup fair, which opened in the 1930's. Fun fact: King George LOVED the 2nd (of three) wooden coaster of Vancouver so much he rode it multiple times. But I digress: The Cyclone is the only coaster I shed tears of joy after my 1st back car ride other than Steel Vengeance; so forceful yet fun; so smooth. I knew it was a wonderful ride and never had to leave a ride I traveled so far for after so few ride; 3; 1st somewhere in the middle car; 2nd in the front row and 3rd in row 10 in the back car NOT over a wheel seat, ending my visit to Luna park, and I got off with tears of joy and sadness I had to leave so early, as I only had 2 hours in the park as I was bing put up by my elderly aunt in Brooklyn for a night in between SFGA N.J. and my flight the next day to Chicago fro SFGA ILL. It also exists in a place where the scents remind me of the 70s when we'd visit my maternal grandparents every other summer who retired on the Jersey coast; we were raised in Vancouver and had to travel. I could wax poetic all nigh long, but I'll just end by saying: Steel Vengeance and The Cyclone are the only two coasters I was moved to tears of joy and appreciation form my 1st back car ride. Also: I haven't ridden The Voyage or visited Asia yet; I've ridden Ghostrider and El Toro and the latter was a little rough in 2022. They're contenders for my favourite wooden coasters I've ridden, but neither have single position lap bars. Thanks for posting; let it be know how great The Cylcone is and that there is no better Cyclone cloned/coaster with the word "Cyclone" in it (except perhaps Wicked Cyclone, which I haven't ridden yet.) Thanks for posting!

    Great vlog as usual, you two! I don't comment often, but I've watched you for years. In my view, what you do is essentially the same as people like Anthony Bourdain, except you're independent and don't have some TV network footing the bills and calling the shots. I guess, to some people, it's only a "job" if you have someone else signing your paycheck and telling you what to do. Don't let people like that get you down. Most of us can only dream of being our own boss and doing what we love, and you should be proud of everything you've accomplished. Anyone who says otherwise is just jealous and bitter.

    The Thunderbolt is named after the second Iconic Coney Island woodie The Thunderbolt that operated from 1825 until 1982 and stood SBNO until 2000 when against the owners wishes and everyone who tries to save the coaster it was demolished.

    My immediate suspicion whenever it’s a park wide issue with customer service is they probably don’t pay very well. It’s hard to feel chipper or try and go the extra mile when you’re making minimum wage for what’s clearly a pretty difficult job.

    24:00 There was actually another Coney Island amusement park in Cincinnati, Ohio from the 1880s, but the New York Coney Island is more famous. It was a famous theme park before Kings Island was built and most rides were removed in the 1970s, but not all. I was very fortunate enough to visit that in June 2017, but the amusement park rides were removed in 2019 and the whole park permanently closed in December 2023. There was a famous swimming pool and water park there. Several protestors shows up to protest to prevent the water park from being closed for good and an online petition was started which I signed, but everyone who opposed closing the park forever failed. Coney Island Luna Park looks a lot like Coney Island Cincinnati.

    Wow!! U drove from Farmingdale to Coney Island in one day?! We live in Queens and haven't been to Coney since 2017 and Adventureland since 2008! We drove past Adventureland on our way home from St Charles Cemetery and it too an 90 min just to get to northern Queens! Adventureland looked empty.. we saw Chik Fil A on Rt 110. Never had it before. Gotta try it! Luna Park used to be $29 for 4 hours! Not worth the money they want now. I rather save the money for Busch Gardens and Six Flags Great Adventure this summer. Luna Park sucks. I preferred Astroland. At least it had charm. You have to try Morey Piers in Wildwood NJ! That place has old school charm! Wildwood is a blast and you get a taste of Americana from the 50's . Alot of doo wop motels.
