Thunderbolt (1925 roller coaster) (original) (raw)
The Thunderbolt was a wooden roller coaster located at Coney Island in Brooklyn, New York. Designed by John Miller, it operated from 1925 until 1982 and remained standing until it was demolished in 2000. The demolition was controversial, as the property owner Horace Bullard was not notified, nor had any formal inspection been done on the structure. In June 2013, it was announced that a new steel roller coaster would be constructed on Coney Island named the Thunderbolt. The steel coaster opened in 2014 and uses a completely different design.

dbo:abstract | Thunderbolt auf Coney Island (Brooklyn, New York, USA) war eine Holzachterbahn, die von John A. Miller konstruiert wurde. Sie wurde 1925 eröffnet. 1982 wurde die Bahn geschlossen, stand aber noch bis Ende 2000 an der Stelle. Am 17. November 2000 begann die New Yorker Stadtverwaltung gegen den Willen des Eigentümers mit dem Abriss der mittlerweile stark baufälligen Achterbahn. Ein daraufhin eingeleitetes Bundes-Juryverfahren ergab 2003, dass der Abriss unrechtmäßig gewesen sei und die Stadtverwaltung sich des trespass – der Entsprechung des deutschen Hausfriedensbruchs – schuldig gemacht habe. Die Bahn wurde über ein Haus gebaut, welches 1895 als das Kensington Hotel errichtet worden war. Dieses Haus und somit auch die Bahn sind im Film Der Stadtneurotiker (1977) von und mit Woody Allen Schauplatz als Kindheitshaus der Figur Alvy Singer, welche von Woody Allen verkörpert wird.
