Developers want new coaster at Coney Island

A new state-of-the-art roller coaster could someday be weaving between buildings and bulleting along Coney's famed Boardwalk. With more than 4,000 feet of swirling steel tracks, the yet-unnamed coaster would soar above Stillwell Ave. and spiral along the Boardwalk at breakneck speeds. The coaster, which would be an instant rival to Coney's classic Cyclone, is part of a massive redevelopment plan by Thor Equities, which has bought property in the Brooklyn amusement mecca.
