You can ride Coney Island’s newest roller coaster and join a humanitarian effort at the same time.
For a suggested donation of $5, visitors can ride the Phoenix at Deno’s Wonder Wheel Amusement Park on April 2, a week before the park opens on April 10.
Proceeds will go to the UNICEF Save the Children of Ukraine Fund.
