Coney Island is set to debut a new roller coaster next weekend, but some got the chance to get a sneak peek on Sunday.
The Phoenix is a 68-foot-high roller coaster reaching speed of over 34 mph.
The roller coaster is located at Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park and sits next to the Wonder Wheel.
The ride has twists, turns and a steep drop that a few people got to experience for a soft opening.
There will be a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday to celebrate the ride's grand opening.
