Opening Day Nightmare: Coney Island Cyclone gets stuck
The popular Coney Island Cyclone, a roller coaster ride at the beachfront amusement park, failed to give thrill-seekers the adrenaline rush they had hoped for on Sunday.
The annual flag off to the re-opening of the amusement park was short lived after the famous roller coaster came to a grinding halt moments after taking its first set of riders upward to the famous drop.
About 24 passengers on the first run of the 87-year-old Cyclone at Luna Park were preparing for the initial drop when it suddenly stopped.
