Luna Park (NYC) 2022 Expansion

[Pear]

Luna Park will be expanding in 2020 with a log flume, ropes course, and a new family coaster. They are going to run a naming contest for the 3 rides.

The new attractions -- a ropes course, a log flume and a coaster -- open in 2020.

What Luna Park is this? The one in Sydney? The article can't be accessed from EU (GDPR).

I'm trying to work out the kind of coaster that that is... is it a Chance Rides family coaster similar to the one going to American Dream?

 

[Peet]

Nah it will be another Zamperla as they run the place now.
Looks like a nice development, any ideas where exactly it will be?

Kinda looks like Maurer track to me.

I think it could be another Zamperla...

It's a Zamperla J2SK as listed on rcdb. A quick look at the other creds in this line confirms the track is the same style, for example:

Runaway Mine Train - Cultus Lake Adventure Park (Cultus Lake, British Columbia, Canada)

I like the track colour!

 

[CrashCoaster]

Looks like it will be a pretty decent Maurer Zamperla family coaster. Like Matt, I think the track colour is gorgeous.

Looks like construction might be starting up soon

For some reason I hadn't seen the coaster/log flume graphic. Love how they've echoed the classic water chute design.

Some rides are definitely not for the faint of heart.

In fairness, that’s a true statement, isn’t it?

Something that’s easy for us enthusiasts to forget is that it takes bravery to ride some rides; some people are genuinely scared by them!

Admittedly, the Luna Park expansion thread seems like an interesting place to express such sentiment, especially when the last post was 4 months ago, but maybe this new member is just a little lost, and needs some guidance to a thread where that sentiment might be more relevant?

It doesn’t look like a fake account; their favourite coaster is listed as Tatsu and their favourite park is listed as Cedar Point. Welcome aboard @CarolynSharp!

I will be watching, but doing nothing quite yet. But let's just say that CarolynSharp better start posting on-topic messages in other, active threads sooner rather than later.

Crap just went from 0 to 100 real goddamn quick with this one. If only the Luna Park 2020 2022 expansion and new coaster could and would move as quickly.

And three days later, the edit came and the hammer went Bonk. Buh-bye, Carolyn.

What was the edit? Advertising some dodgy site?

Another travel blog, it seems. At least it wasn't a casino this time.
