Brooklyn, NY - Reopining Of Nellie Bly Park Adjourned

Brooklyn, NY - The reopening of Brooklyn's Nellie Bly amusement park has been stalled until mid-July - more than a month after the kiddie park was expected to open, the reason due to difficulty's obtaining a city permit and getting a new Tilt-a-Whirl ride delivered.

"We're in a crisis stage," said Community Board 11 District Manager Howard Feuer, who raised concerns in April that thrill rides would replace attractions such as the carousel.
"If that park doesn't open quickly, I don't know," said Feuer, "It's had many, many years of wholesome family entertainment, and I dont know if that will ever come back."

But the parks owner insisted he could have "most of the stuff ready," adding that two new rides are expected to be delivered by Sunday.
