AstroLand commercial Astroland got a reprieve from destruction and is supposed to operate for one more Summer season in 2008. I was there in 2007 and it was jumpin, plenty of business. I believe major development plans for the boardwalk have no place for Astroland, sad. This spot for the amusement park in Coney Island is from around 1980.

ASTROLAND TO RE-OPEN FOR 2008!!! THE PEOPLE HAVE WON! This is fantastic news for the people of New York and Coney Island. After days of heavy opposition against the occupation by evil empire of Thor Equities. THE PEOPLE HAVE WON! THOR HAS SCUTTLED IT'S PLANS FOR CONDOS! The official report, courtesy of the Associated Press. 1 More Year for Coney Island's Astroland Wednesday October 24, 5:23 pm ET AP via Yahoo! Finance - 9 minutes ago By Larry Mcshane, Associated Press Writer Another Season for Coney Island's Astroland Under New Deal With Developer NEW YORK (AP) -- The world-renowned Astroland amusement park has a new lease on life.The venerable Coney Island institution, which appeared doomed after its Labor Day closing, will instead reopen for one more season next year under a deal announced Wednesday with the developer behind the neighborhood's planned $2 billion makeover. "Astroland is very pleased that its 300 employees will continue to have jobs, and we want to thank our many supporters and fans who worked so hard to keep Astroland open," said Carol Albert, whose family owns the beachfront attraction. The last-ditch agreement came after it appeared the park's classic rides had gone dark for the last time on Sept. 9. But weeks of negotiations between Thor Equities and the Albert family produced a short-term deal barely three months before the old lease expired. Terms of the agreement were not made public. The vintage attraction survived for decades despite hard economic times, the crack epidemic and a decaying neighborhood to anchor Coney Island since the Kennedy Administration. Eventually, the 275-foot Astrotower and the bumper cars will give way to the glitzy development proposed by Thor Equities. Thor had already reached deals with eight boardwalk vendors, including the popular "Shoot the Freak" concession, on similar one-year extensions. Astroland is now scheduled to open for its last summer during the end of winter -- March 16, 2007. The Alberts received $30 million in a deal with Thor for the 3.1-acre stretch off the boardwalk. But Albert was hopeful of squeezing in one final go-round for Astroland and its employees, many of them neighborhood residents with years of service. Thor has spent more than $100 million to acquire about 10 acres of Coney Island real estate in hopes of turning the area into a year-round tourist attraction. Albert sold her property to Thor last year, convinced the business would not survive during the local rebuilding. It was 1962 when Carol's father-in-law Dewey Albert unveiled his outer space-themed park on the beach once billed as the nation's playground. It evolved into a Coney Island fixture, alongside two other local creations: the hot dog and the roller coaster. The park endured as the neighborhood turned seedy before its recent rebound. The Alberts were one of the last local holdouts until their decision to sell the property last year. This past summer, Thor scuttled plans to include apartments and luxury condominiums as part of its redevelopment effort, bowing to complaints from critics. (This version CORRECTS opening day 2008 to March 16.) As said from the press my friend. The battle of the people over the evil empire Thor Equities to save Astroland for one more year has been won. Yet what will become of Coney Island after 2008? All we can do is hope & pray for a better future & fight to keep it's spirit and relics of the past alive and preserved.

Coney Island: Astroland, beach, and girls Here we are at Coney Island. We start at the Cyclone, as the cars climb the incline and speed down the other side. We then move along the park in Astroland towards Deno's Wonder Wheel. We see the wheel rotate, and we see some of the other rides and games. At one point, we see a Q train of R68's arrive at Stillwell Terminal, dropping off a load of excited beach goers. From there, we climb the stairs, check out a cute girl who makes kissy lips to the camera, and then hit the boardwalk, making the last stop the beach. If you have any questions about the video, feel free to message me. Comments are welcome. The video was taken on July 18th, 2008.
