Luna Park, located in Coney Island, Brooklyn, is one of New York's most iconic amusement parks. Originally opened in 1903 and reopened in 2010 after extensive renovation, Luna Park attracts over 2 million visitors annually. The park features more than 50 rides and attractions, including the historic Cyclone roller coaster, which has been thrilling visitors since 1927. As a major tourist destination, Luna Park generates significant revenue for New York City's economy, with reported annual revenues exceeding $20 million.
Amusement parks, carnival rides, and thrill attractions in New York are subject to strict safety regulations to protect visitors. Despite these regulations, accidents can and do occur. In 2018, Luna Park faced scrutiny after several incidents involving ride malfunctions, though fortunately none resulted in serious injuries. Amusement park accidents can be particularly devastating, potentially causing severe injuries including spinal cord trauma, traumatic brain injuries, broken bones, internal organ damage, and in worst cases, fatalities.
