Luna Park. The 1928 Oscar-nominated King Vidor movie The Crowd includes scenes filmed at Luna Park, and part of Harold Lloyd's 1928 movie Speedy was also shot at the park. Namesakes The original Luna Park site contains a cooperative apartment complex called Luna Park Houses, which was completed in 1962. When built, the development contained five 20-story buildings with a total of 1,576 units, each with between one and three bedrooms. Each of the four buildings consists of four wings, which radiate from a core with three elevators and balconies on each floor. Coney Island's original Luna Park shares its name with dozens of parks around the world. Among those was Coney Island's current Luna Park, which opened in 2010 at the former site of the defunct Astroland park, a parcel of land on the south side of Surf Avenue just across from the original Luna Park site. The newer park, operated by Zamperla, features an entrance patterned after the original Luna Park's main gate.
