Why this petition matters

Started by Michael Quinn

The iconic Wonder Wheel ride in Coney Island turned 100 this year; however, like many attractions it has been closed due to the COVID 19 pandemic. Unlike other attractions a plan is in place to operate the Wonder Wheel in the safest way possible protecting the public from further spreading the virus. The wheel’s caged cars are open air, without any windows, and spaced 15 feet apart from one another. Proper social distancing can be enforced. Closing the Wonder Wheel for the entire season will result in dire economic circumstances. We’re asking Governor Andrew Cuomo to immediately permit the Wonder Wheel to safely open so that we may save a small business and allow the public to enjoy this American treasure. 

It’s up to YOU the petition signer to put pressure on the Governor of New York to permit the safe opening of the Wonder Wheel. If bowling alleys, gyms, and museums are permitted to open shortly statewide then our beloved Wonder Wheel will also be safe enough to open. 

If you care about the heart and soul of Coney Island please sign and share this petition. The Wonder Wheel is the oldest ride in Coney Island and there is no reason why it can’t be open for all of us to enjoy this season. Do the right thing for Coney Island!
