The Surf Avenue business is run by owner Gordon Lee, who was born in nearby Sheepshead Bay and bought Eldorado from its original operators in 2012 — months before Superstorm Sandy inundated the bumper cars and arcade games.
Lee fixed up the place with some help, but the bumper cars’ headlights haven’t worked since. He’s once again preparing for the summer season, aiming to provide an experience he describes as "the thrill and the ability to be free and feel that wind in your face."
Four-minute rides cost $10 each, though the operating hours vary depending on various factors Lee considers, including the weather and day of the week.

Free Buses Bill Tops $1 Billion
Free buses in New York City could cost as much as $1.1 billion a year, an analysis issued Wednesday by the Independent Budget Office estimates — far higher than previous estimates that put the cost at $800 million or less.
The $1.1 billion figure is based on projections of a 25% increase in ridership and including express buses in the program.
If ridership increases by 15% and Express buses are excluded, the cost drops to about $900 million. If ridership increases by 35% and Express buses are included, the annual cost estimate rises to about $1.3 billion.
The analysis also found that expanding the Fair Fares program for low-income riders would cost between $87 million and $419 million, depending on the size of the expansion.
Gov. Kathy Hochul, who controls the MTA, refused to back the free bus plan and the mayor stopped pushing it aggressively in the legislature.
The Mamdani administration did not respond to requests for comment.
