Astroland Carousel and Wonder Wheel

Today, September 7, 2008 is the "last day" for Astroland Park in Coney Island. Astroland Owner Carol Hill Albert sold the property to Thor Equities in 2006 for $30 million. The park will be redeveloped as condos and a "Las Vegas" style amusement park. Last year was supposed to be the last year and at the last minute negotiation took place and Astroland was open for one more season. The rides will be up for sale and Carol Albert says that she needs to be out of there by January, 2009. If there's another extension we can all go back next year and document the last day again.
