Coney Island Cyclone rollercoaster near casino site shuts down

The iconic Cyclone roller coaster at Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York City, abruptly stopped operating last Thursday as a result of a mechanical issue.

The Cyclone is located three blocks east of The Coney, an integrated resort casino that a group of gaming companies wants to develop. One of the three downstate casino licenses that the New York Gaming Facility Location Board is anticipated to award before December 1, 2025, is being sought after by the group, which is one of ten bidders.
