Coney Island's Cyclone Roller Coaster Closed Indefinitely After Malfunction

The 97-year-old wooden coaster was halted mid-ride due to a damaged chain sprocket; no injuries reported.

New York City's Department of Buildings issued violations to Luna Park for damaged equipment and failure to notify authorities promptly.
Several riders were safely evacuated from the ride after it came to a stop during its ascent.
Luna Park states that safety and daily maintenance are top priorities and that the ride will remain closed until repairs are completed and inspected.
The Cyclone, an iconic part of Coney Island since 1927, has faced previous safety issues but continues to be a major attraction.
There is currently no timeline for when the Cyclone will reopen.
