With the help of CIDC, SBS and 8 local community organizations we have organized 3 screening events to take place between this week and next.<br /><br /><br /><br />The first of the screening events was held on Tuesday, April 13th, and was quite a success. We had over 200 interested candidates attend with the majority coming from the 11224 zip code.<br /><br /><br /><br />The upcoming events will be held on:<br /><br /><br /><br />Saturday, April 17th; 10am-2pm<br /><br />New York Aquarium<br /><br />602 Surf Avenue<br /><br /><br /><br />Thursday, April 22nd; 2pm-8pm<br /><br />Carey Gardens Community Center<br /><br />2315 Surf Avenue<br /><br /><br /><br />Below is a video of this weeks screening event from News Channel 12:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.news12.com/articleDetail.jsp?articleId=248109&amp;position=3&amp;news_type=news&amp;rand=30645682">News Channel 12</a><br /><br /><br /><br />Don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for the latest updates.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/lunaparknyc">Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/lunaparkconeyis">Twitter</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="right"><strong>Luna Park ~ The FUN Is Back!!</strong></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3215135781612120159-966621373139658176?l=lunaparknyc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Central Amusement Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11838044493079304742noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215135781612120159.post-54578731589117816262010-03-29T13:16:00.000-07:002010-03-30T14:36:29.819-07:00<div align="right"><span style="font-family:georgia;">59 Days and counting!!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Last week the picture below surfaced online showing 8 pipes that had been placed under ground at the new <strong><em>Luna Park</em></strong> site. Since then the picture has appeared on various message boards with folks wondering what purpose the pipes will serve.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XHqGlFuJ8Ks/S7EXVVz_lOI/AAAAAAAAAC8/kBLjda0IRa0/s1600/LP+3_29.jpg"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5454166279122293986" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_XHqGlFuJ8Ks/S7EXVVz_lOI/AAAAAAAAAC8/kBLjda0IRa0/s320/LP+3_29.jpg" /> <p align="left"></span></a><span style="font-family:georgia;"><br /></span><br />The 8 pipes are actually part of a detention tank which is being installed underground to collect stormwater runoff. The purpose of the detention tank is to absorb surplus stormwater, to prevent it from overloading the local infrastructure. Basically, instead of stormwater overflowing and causing flooding, the detention tank will instead hold the stormwater and slowly release it preventing a surge and the potential for property damage.<br /><br /><br /><br />That way <strong><em>Luna Park</em></strong> will be able to quickly recover after storms, and immediately begin operations for you enjoyment. However, since we've already made weather arrangements calling for clear skies and nothing but sunshine, none of this should really have to come into play, it's merely just a back-up plan. =)<br /><br /><br /><br />Join us on Facebook and Twitter to receive our latest updates.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/lunaparknyc">Facebook</a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/lunaparkconeyis">Twitter</a><br /></p><p align="right"><span style="font-family:georgia;"><em><strong>Luna Park</strong></em> ~ The FUN Is Back!!</span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3215135781612120159-5457873158911781626?l=lunaparknyc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Central Amusement Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11838044493079304742noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215135781612120159.post-51515346149784680222010-03-19T12:00:00.000-07:002010-03-19T12:00:01.952-07:00<div align="left"><strong><u>Riegelmann Boardwalk</u></strong></div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left">Walking along Riegelmann Boardwalk today felt like a prelude to the quickly approaching summer season. The weather was just right, and Coney Island lovers were ready and willing to take advantage by taking a stroll alongside the Beach. After a long, dark winter, it was a pleasure to see the Boardwalk become alive and full of energy with visitors and area businesses opening up. The warm weather is certainly setting the stage, and adding intensity to the anticipation of <strong><em>Luna Park's</em></strong> arrival.<br /><br />With 70 days left until opening day, we are making preparations to fulfill our staffing needs. For the 2010 season, <strong><em>Luna Park</em></strong> will have 247 positions to fill by our opening day on Memorial Day weekend. Currently, we are accepting applications online via our website (<a href="http://www.lunaparknyc.com/">http://www.lunaparknyc.com/</a>) for 9 different types of positions. Should applicants not have access to a computer or the internet, they can apply by visiting local community organization, such as the Astella Development Corp (located at 1618 Mermaid Ave). There they will be provided with access to a computer, which they will be permitted to use to visit our website, and submit a job form.<br /><br />For the latest updates, remember you can now follow us on Facebook and Twitter.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.facebook.com/lunaparknyc">Facebook</a><br /><a href="http://www.twitter.com/lunaparkconeyis">Twitter </a></div><br /><br /><div align="right"></div><br /><br /><div align="right">Luna Park ~ The FUN Is Back!! </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3215135781612120159-5151534614978468022?l=lunaparknyc.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Central Amusement Internationalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11838044493079304742noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215135781612120159.post-52073792947721619982010-03-03T14:07:00.000-08:002010-03-11T15:28:34.872-08:00<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:georgia;" >Last week, Central Amusement International, received the keys to <span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Luna Park</span>.
