Coney Park ambitious replacement for Astroland

Posted | Contributed by Jeff

Coney Island Park, slated to open in 2011, would be one component of a 13-acre, $1.5 billion plan by Thor that includes an indoor water park and residential, retail and entertainment components. The flagship ride is the "Leviathan," a 100-foot-tall looping coaster.

$250M....and a Chance Aviator is a "marquee ride". Not even the Coney Island *barkers* of old could upsell THAT much...LOL!

I'd like to see a larger picture of the artist rendering. I can't make much out from that little one.

Same here. But it's nice that a park is going in there instead of a bunch of condos/stores/etc.

The thumbnail seems to suggest that the coaster will be a Maurer Söhne extended Sky Loop.

I want to know who will operate the Cyclone during construction? I agree good to see a park going back at Cony Island.

I thought they were getting an Intamin coaster?

AdamB the intamin is going on stillwellave. Al ltogether including the cyclone that would make 3 coasters in the area.

Chance Aviator? LAMEST "impessive-looking" flat ride EVAR.
