Luna Park Hard at Work on 2022 Coaster + Flume Expansion

We've had to wait a while longer for this one, as is true with many attractions set to open within the past two years, but Coney Island's Luna Park is hard at work on getting their 2022 expansion completed for the summer. The park is adding a new area that will feature a roller coaster entwined with a modern log flume, along with several new common areas that will feature amenities and areas to relax and enjoy.

As seen in these photos from the park, the construction is progressing well with a significant portion of the new coaster already in place. Plus, these photos were from several weeks ago so there is probably more standing at this point. The track and supports are a mix of blue and green colors, with thematic elements slowly going up around parts of the ride as well.

The coaster is designed to be a family ride, but is pretty large all things considered. Oddly, Luna Park doesn't seem to be advertising the expansion yet on their website, but it's definitely heading for a summer 2022 opening. The log flume right by the ocean and boardwalk will be a wonderful addition as well, with a smaller drop to start and a much larger drop to finish the attraction. Both of the new attractions will share a large station structure, with what looks like queue space under cover - another plus.

As a reminder, here is some concept art the park shared of how the new area will look when completed. A nice addition that's been a long time coming.
