Tony's Express is a family roller coaster at Luna Park in Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York. It opened in September 2022 as part of the park's expansion and is named for the late Antonio (Tony) Zamperla. The park calls it its eighth coaster, built for Coney Island, with a train design inspired by the Switchback Railway and a station outlined in lights.
RCDB lists it as a Zamperla junior coaster with a booster-wheel lift, 49.9 feet tall, with a top speed of 26.1 mph, 1,312 feet of track and no inversions. The track winds around the Leti's Treasure log flume. Both of its two trains offer accessible seating.
The park lists a minimum height of 48 inches to ride alone.
