The park&rsquo;s grand opening was scheduled for April 4.&nbsp;Co-owner Dennis Vourderis&nbsp;tells News 12 the rides are ready to go.&nbsp;

Vourderis tells News 12 that because of the pandemic, they are following&nbsp;Centers for Disease Control and Prevention&nbsp;guidelines and will have hand sanitizer at the entrance to every ride.&nbsp;

He says he still does not know when that grand opening will be.&nbsp;

He says he is just waiting on the green light from the government. Vourderis says people in Coney Island usually know it&rsquo;s spring when the cars go up on the&nbsp;Wonder Wheel.&nbsp;

&nbsp;"I'm hoping we celebrate with a post-pandemic party and opening day.&nbsp;It's&nbsp;our 100th year of the fantastic&nbsp;Wonder Wheel&nbsp;so that's survived a lot of pandemics epidemics,&nbsp;hurricanes and you name it&nbsp;-&nbsp;so we're here,&nbsp;we're ready tickets in hand,&nbsp;we're ready to rock&nbsp;'n'&nbsp;roll,&rdquo;&nbsp;says&nbsp;Vourderis.

Just Alex Kama. Fun fact, like you said, it's 10 degrees warmer today. Look at that. Yeah, it's so much nicer out there. We deserve this guys after two days of really feeling like January, we're back to feeling like November on the last day of the month. It's definitely not as cold this afternoon, but you do need the jacket this morning. I'll show you the temperatures in a bit. Showers arrive for Friday evening. So most of the day Friday dry, but it will be cloudy. The weekend looks really mild, temperature wise, but it is overcast the whole day. So waking up, you're in the thirties, it feels like twenties. But by 910 in the morning, we're all in the forties and then we move into the upper forties with lots of sunshine. The sunset is at 429. So we are going to absorb every moment of sun today, especially since we have a long stretch of cloud cover coming our direct starting tomorrow. So again, highs could hit 50 in a few spots. Most of us are just shy of it tonight. We drop into the upper thirties and low forties. So that's an improvement. You see Mott Haven at 38 for your Friday morning low and then you are 49 in frogs neck on Friday. So again, it looks like a mild day. But the difference on Friday is that it is mostly cloudy and we do have a few dry sprinkles. So here's the picture. You see most of Friday dry, but then four o'clock, a couple of these showers start to creep in by six o'clock. They push over our area. So it's kind of just sprinkling. It's not a huge impact, but you might need the umbrella Saturday dry, especially to start, but the clouds will be pretty thick. Temperatures are gonna be in the fifties just about all day and we're going to watch for that quick little stray shower chance Saturday evening. So here's how the weekend is shaping up. Definitely Saturday is the better chance for dry weather. Sunday looks more overcast with a better chance of rain in the evening, but both days will have their dry time and we're in the fifties. So it's hard to complain, especially for a first weekend in December, which is historically one of our coolest months out of the year. But this is not a bad forecast. All of these temperatures much milder than what we dealt with yesterday.
