The park planned to donate a portion of Saturday's sales to three local organizations, Children of Promise, the Coney Island Sharks, and Operation H.O.O.D.
Meanwhile, Deno's Wonder Wheel Amusement Park said it would open its Phoenix roller coaster Saturday with all proceeds going to the UNICEF Save the Children of Ukraine Fund.
