Luna Park, Brooklyn, NY

Brooklyn’s Luna Park is a popular amusement park for tourists and locals alike. From 1962 until 2008, Astroland, an amusement park located at the site, was available to the public and Dreamland was open for the 2009 season. After the original Luna Park, which opened in 1903 and remained in operation until 1944, the current park’s 1000 Surf Avenue location was chosen as the inspiration.

Zamprela, a subsidiary of the Italian manufacturer Central Amusement International, CAI, was responsible for the park’s design, development, and operation. Food and beverage vendors, live entertainment, and a variety of interactive activities are also available.

Built on the site of the defunct Astroland amusement park, the entrance of Luna Park is modeled by the entrance to the old Luna Park from 1903. A total of 19 new attractions and activities have been added. Using cash to pay for rides and amusements is prohibited in the Luna Park part of Coney Island; instead, guests must purchase Luna Cards or utilize an unlimited ride wristband that provides four hours of ride time on certain rides.

The “Funny Face” logo from Coney Island may be found all over the park. About a century ago, the founder of Steeplechase Park, George Tilyou, designed the park’s first emblem.

The Coney Island Development Corporation was established in September 2003 by Mayor Michael Bloomberg, the New York City Council, and Brooklyn Borough President Marty Markowitz (CIDC). In 2005, the business unveiled its “Coney Island Revitalization Plan,” which outlined its strategy for preserving and expanding the historic amusement district in New York City.

The Astroland amusement park in Coney Island, New York, shut down at the end of the 2008 season. The Astroland site was renamed Dreamland in 2009 by a touring carnival that featured amusement attractions. In February 2010, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg announced that a 10-year lease has been awarded to Zamperla/Central Amusement International for the development and operation of an amusement park on the 12.800 m2 former Astroland site on Coney Island.

As part of an advertising campaign for Coney Island’s attractions, posters, billboards, and advertisements on the side of public buses were used to promote the new Luna Park. Ads for the park’s multiple thrill rides used the catchphrases “Thrill is nothing without speed” and “The FUN is back at Coney Island,” which referred to the park’s Coney Island reconstruction.

Luna Park is located at 1000 Surf Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11224
