Summer’s knocking at Brooklyn’s door.

Screams will fill the air and egg creams will flow on Coney Island this weekend as Luna Park throws a three-day blockbuster party to celebrate its 122nd season.

Thrill-seekers will be welcomed back Saturday with new arcade games, revamped retail outlets and a new patio at Salt & Sizzle, as well as the landmark park’s iconic staples, such as the Cyclone.

The wooden coaster is rolling into its 98th birthday this year, a milestone Brooklynites will honor with the annual Egg Cream Christening ceremony.

The first 98 adrenaline junkies to break in the Cyclone for the season will be offered a free bubbly milk drink and ride as part of the park’s longstanding opening weekend celebration.

“Luna Park in Coney Island is committed to upholding its role in safeguarding and preserving the legacy of
the historic Amusement District in New York City. Through timeless and thrilling attractions, the park continues to bring joy to New Yorkers and tourists annually,” Luna Park reps said in a statement.

After its massive opening weekend party, Luna Park will be open every Saturday and Sunday until Memorial Day.

The thrills will then be available to all daily through the summer — and alongside a plethora of iconic events, like the 43rd annual Coney Island Mermaid Parade scheduled for June 21.
