Coney Island\u2019s amusement parks are set to finally reopen to visitors Friday \u2014 after being closed all last season because of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Deno\u2019s Wonder Wheel Amusement Park and Luna Park will open at 33 percent capacity, as per state guidelines.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Coney Island amusement rides are synonymous with summer in Brooklyn, and their closure last year was a painful blow for all of us,\u201d Borough President Eric Adams said in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to see the amusement district come back better than ever, which will revitalize the local economy and allow visitors to enjoy the unique attractions with their friends and families.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

The first 100 front-line workers to show up at he park \u2014 including hospital employees and policemen and firefighters \u2014 will get a free spin on the Wonder Wheel to mark the occasion, opening-day organizers said.<\/p>\n

The traditional \u201cblessing of the rides\u201d will kick things off on the boardwalk at 10 a.m., followed by an \u201cegg cream christening\u201d of the Cyclone roller-coaster at 11 a.m.<\/p>\n

Cash-strapp<\/a>ed business operators at the amusement site had been begging Gov. Andrew Cuomo for months to allow them to reopen, at least at limited capacity. <\/p>\n
