After a few delays, Coney Island’s Thunderbolt expected to open Friday
The legendary Coney Island roller coaster, the Thunderbolt, will ride again this summer…At some point.
The opening day for the Thunderbolt has been twice delayed already this season, but it is expected to finally open this weekend. It was supposed to open last Friday, but was delayed while construction finishes.
The Brooklyn Eagle was on hand last Friday as it eagerly anticipated its opening, but was disappointed to see the gates shuttered. The good news is that it looked nearly completed and has been spotted since making test runs so the potential opening this weekend seems likely.
