It might not quite feel like spring yet, but on Sunday, March 29, Luna Park in Coney Island is set to open its gates to the public, a sure sign that summer will eventually be here. The centerpiece, of course, is the Cyclone, and the festivities will include a free ride on the historic wooden roller coaster, which turns eighty-eight this year, for the first one hundred visitors; there will also be a Cyclone trivia game, so study up. (Admission to the 110-second ride is otherwise nine dollars.) Among the other rides are the Thunderbolt, the Sling Shot, Zenobio, the Steeplechase, the Tickler, Wild River, Soarin Eagle, the Brooklyn Flyer, the Hang Glider, and Electro Spin.
