While the international amusement company Zamperla has been working to push eight local business owners off the Coney Island boardwalk and replace them with a big sports bar restaurant complex, the company has also been busy building their new amusement park, The Scream Zone, which will compliment the new Luna Park this summer. Today they completed the first new ride. Called Zenobio, the ride stands more than 100 feet tall and sweeps riders through the air at 60 miles per hour. Here's video of the same ride in action elsewhere:
We're told the Sling Shot will be going up next, and the Soaring Eagle (one of two new roller coasters) is almost done. The Zenobio is set to open April 16th, and a spokesman for Zamperla tells us they're still deciding how much to charge for it. It's also unclear if the admission fee will include reimbursement for dry cleaning costs.
