Coney Island's Cyclone Roller Coaster Halts Mid-Ride Due to Mechanical Failure

The iconic 97-year-old attraction faces indefinite closure after a cracked chain caused a sudden stop, leaving riders stranded.

No injuries were reported as all riders were safely evacuated from the stalled coaster.
The malfunction was traced to a damaged chain sprocket in the motor room.
Luna Park received violations for failing to maintain the ride and not reporting the incident promptly.
The Cyclone will remain closed until repairs are completed and it passes safety inspections.
Luna Park emphasizes that safety and daily maintenance are top priorities for all rides.
