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.

Game Over For Astroland The Coney Island amusement park, Astroland, is ending a 46-year run today as it closes up shop for the summer and for good. Co-Owner Carol Hill Albert says she was unable to work out a lease extension with developer Thor Equities, and that she has no choice but to shut down. Thor says its disappointed with the decision to close the park, but that's little consultation to the Brooklynites and advocates who oppose the major development plan for the beachfront area. "It's just a damn shame that the City of New York and the developers who bought the property on Coney Island can't do something to preserve the heritage and the legacy of what this place was and the way we want it to be," said Brooklyn Borough Historian Ron Schweiger. For many New Yorkers, Astroland is synonymous with their childhoods. "We come here as much as possible and I feel like they're tearing down my whole childhood, my whole life, my legacy," said long-time area resident Terry Rosenzweig. "Everything I have is here. That's why I'm trying to capture everything I can -- my last moments of my life growing up here on Coney Island today." Even though Astroland is closing, fans of the Cyclone and the Wonder Wheel shouldn't worry. Both of those rides are covered by separate leases and are expected to reopen next year.

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.
