Coney Island price hike has parents on a roller coaster of disappointment
NY Post
The people’s playground has turned into the people’s pay-ground.
Families looking for a cheap day out in Coney Island are getting the summer blues after discovering Luna Park — home of the iconic Cyclone roller coaster — is no longer a pay-as-you-go boardwalk fun zone: it now has an admission fee as high as $75 per person — $81 with sales tax — on the weekends. “Oh, hell no!” shouted mom Jody Mclean as she walked away from the ticket line with her 4-year-old daughter Saturday afternoon after seeing the prices. Entry for her family of six would have ran her more than $400. “It’s too much money. If I had known, I wouldn’t have come here, I would find somewhere else to go.”More Related News
