The iconic Coney Island Cyclone roller coaster in Brooklyn, NY, has been shut down indefinitely following a mid-ride malfunction on Thursday due to a damaged chain sprocket. Riders were safely evacuated without injury. The New York City Department of Buildings issued violations to Luna Park for the damaged equipment and for failing to notify the department immediately. Repairs are underway, and the ride will reopen only after passing inspection. Luna Park emphasized that safety is a priority and that the Cyclone undergoes daily maintenance and testing. The historic roller coaster, built in 1927, has faced numerous challenges over its nearly century-long existence.
