Astroland closed for the summer this weekend – and quite possibly forever. I’ve spent a lot of time at Coney Island over the past year and a half, so if it does indeed shut its doors forever, I’ll greatly miss it.

Why is Astroland possibly going out of business?
the land was bought by Thor Equities. they want to turn it into another Atlantic City or Vegas (barf). http://www.nysun.com/article/43372
Coney Island amusment parks have a history of not lasting very long. See also Luna Park (1903-1944), Dreamland (1904-1911), Steeplechase Park (1897-1964), and Sea Lion Park (1895-1903)
Astroland is just the latest (1964-2007)
