Luna Park opens Tony’s Express, a coaster that’s ‘family friendly’
After nearly a year of anticipation and construction, Luna Park’s newest rollercoaster, Tony’s Express, officially opened at Coney Island.
The park announced in advance that was to have its soft opening Friday, Sept. 9 at noon, so at that time, thrill-seekers tested out the new coaster. A video was also posted on Instagram to show what riders could expect from the experience.
The Zamperla family owns Central Amusement International Inc., the parent company of Luna Park; and the ride pays tribute to President and CEO Alessandro Zamperla’s grandparents, the late Antonio (or “Tony”) and Letizia Zamperla.
