sorry i have to say this are we sure that astroland is slowly didappearing or is it just here say

Just go by there and you'll see that it is DEFINITELY disappearing!!!!!!!  

I just accept that it closed.I'm not in denial like most people here are.Even after seeing that the park is already half empty you still won't accept it.

Maybe it's a painful thing for some of us to deal with.  Some of us, I emphasize.

SOME of u also think that Astroland is the only thing in CI and that when it goes CI will go to!!!!!!! How sad!!!!!!!! Deno's will be around so there will still be rides.The Ballpark and the Boardwalk will still be here too. We just have to hope that they will fix the Boardwalk soon!!! Everyone should concentrate on getting the Boardwalk fixed now!!!!!

Well,now the people in Australia might enjoy it now. So it will live on!!!!!! Just the name might change!!!!!!! You can always take a trip to Australia if you miss it soo much.It's supposed to be beautiful there!!!!!

Trust us, kid - and I say that without any regard for how young or old you may be - if you have a look around the board and our history of postings, you'll become aware that none of us see Astroland as Coney Island's only attraction.  God knows I've railed to the heavens endlessly when MuscleMonster has tried to say that "Coney Island is dead all winter long" - I'm a Polar Bear Club member, and enjoy the area year-round.

Yes, there is a hell of a lot more to Coney Island than Astroland.  However, that does not diminish the shame of the park's closing - the whole matter is a disgrace, and a loss to Coney Island as a whole.  Maybe you're quite right, in that everything will be okay - but without the anchor of Astroland, the area will suffer, at least for a time.

Now quit with the sappy/acrid blend of Pollyanna-gloating.  It's getting old, and god knows we've faced it on these boards before - more often than not thanks to shills from Sitt's company.  I surely hope you don't fit into that category.
