The iconic Coney Island Cyclone was e-stopped on the lift hill Thursday due to a mechanical issue. Riders were evac'd without incident, but the coaster remains closed until repairs and inspections are completed. The park’s technical team told the city Department of Buildings, which gave Luna Park two violations for failing to maintain the ride and for failing to notify the agency about the incident, that operators found a crack on the chain sprocket in the ride's motor room.
The Department of Buildings says an inspector will visit the park today to investigate the incident.
