Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer which made Friday the perfect day for Luna Park in Coney Island to unveil its new ride: the Astro Tower.
People of all ages can enjoy the new ride.
"It was scary at moments," says Yenna Butler. "Like when it would drop and then go back up. It was fun definitely for people who like rides."
That is just the beginning of what's to come this summer. Two more rides are opening this weekend: the Cozmo Jet and the Coney Clipper.
