CONEY ISLAND, Brooklyn (WABC) -- Luna Park in Coney Island is hosting a series of contests that will give customers the opportunity to name new rides.

The amusement park, which has been operating in the historic Brooklyn neighborhood since 1884, is debuting several new rides, but the first contest centers around a new ropes course set to open in 2020.

The course is designed to give visitors views of the boardwalk and beach and will be connected to multiple zip lines.

The new course is building built inside a new circus-themed adventure area.

The winner of the naming contest will receive a one-day VIP experience for 10 people with unlimited rides and food at Luna Park.
