August 2008 Coney Island, NY

On Sunday, Astroland had its last day in Coney Island NY. Me and Martin went down to the beach and walked through Astroland. It was such a fun place and had prices that allowed everyone to come and have fun on the rides so hopefully whatever Thor Properties does with it will reflect the same care for the community. The ferris wheel and the cycle are staying I've heard, as well as the boardwalk, however the area with the rides and minigolf are going. Here's an article I found on it: http://www.msplinks.com/MDFodHRwOi8vd3d3Lm55ZGFpbHluZXdzLmNvbS9ueV9sb2NhbC8yMDA4LzA5LzA0LzIwMDgtMDktMDRfY29uZXlfaXNsYW5kc19hc3Ryb2xhbmRfb3duZXJfY2FsbHNfaXRfcS5odG1sAnd here are some pics of Coney Island Astroland's last day!!Thanks for reading!
