The same Alberto Zamperla stated that Coney Island had its past glory, but for lack of innovative spirit, “the site in recent decades had become rather shabby, until it closed about 3 ½ years ago when it was sold by his owners. The place was famous in the past, his roller coaster “Cyclone” was thrilled visitors for over 80 years, and the Woody Allen was inspired by this famous playground. It is also said that the hot dog was invented at Luna Park in Coney Island!
In February the company had won the bid for a lease of 10 years to build and operate the park, located on a lot owned by the City of New York City. “Their specific proposal was a nice mix to honor the history of Coney Island and propose the development of a modern amusement park of the 21st century,” said Seth W. Pinsky, head of Economic Development in New York City. The Group Zamperla was chosen because it has practical experience in many amusement parks operational, including the Victorian Gardens, an amusement park at Wollman Rink in Central Park in Manhattan. And was recognized as the producer of some of the most exciting attractions in the world, “concluded the same Pinsky.
The family builds Zamperla attractions for amusement parks since 1960 on plants in Altavilla Vicentina. Alberto Zamperla, 58, the eldest of five children of his father Antonio, took over the company, giving it a role internationally, and now exports about 95 percent of its products.
