It is painful to see Astroland being dismantled. Everything must be out by Jan 31. The park closed because the real estate speculator who bought most of Coney Island is trying to force the city to give him zoning for high rise condos! Currently we are trying to save the iconic rocket and relocate to another public venue, preferably in Coney Island! If anyone know of a good home for the rocket please contact us! http://www.flickr.com/photos/27583836@N08 http://www.coneyislandhistory.org/ Please visit Coney in 2009! The Cyclone and other amusements including The Wonder Wheel, a kiddie park, the ElDorado Bumper cars and arcade, the Aquarium, The Coney Island History Project, Coney Island USA, and Lola Staar's roller skating rink are open and welcome all to the summer of 2009.
