Amusement parks suffer during lost summer
It was a lost season for Coney Island amusement parks.
Dennis Vourderis, owner of Deno’s Wonder Wheel Amusement Park, Alessandro and Tracee Zamperla, owners of Central Amusement International/Luna Park, and Alexandra Silversmith, executive director of the Alliance for Coney Island, are upset about the hardships and the lack of answers they’ve faced during the COVID-19 pandemic.
They voiced their concerns Tuesday during a Zoom meeting hosted by Councilmember Mark Treyger. The meeting was also attended by U.S. Rep. Hakeem Jeffries and State Senator Diane Savino.
