My ode to the soon-to-be destroyed Astroland. Shot on the Vidster. The music is "Silty Sea" by Arthi Meera www.arthimeera.com (support brown music)
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.
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!

This is the glitch found on Crash Mania found by Crash 'n Conker/CNC. And this is also a thanks to Patreviewkid/Eyebot for the idea. Near the end the video will just stop, so just fast forward it to the next screen and it will go on. Sorry about the sound delay. It happens to a lot of my videos for some reason. . .
This is some vids of when we took my godson to Astro Land in Coney Island.

This is the Huss made 'Breakdance' at Astroland Amusement Park in Coney Island, NY. It's probably the best operated Breakdance in the US. You'd have to go to a European funfair to find a better one.

For a short period of time, as part of Coney Island's then-new Astroland, the famous Cyclone wooden roller coaster could be ridden backwards. This commercial shows it in action (1983).
It has been confirmed that New York will be stripped of its unforgettable legacy- thats right folks... ASTROLAND.

The final breaths of Astroland are captured through memories, comments, and anecdotes of those who made Astroland the GIANT th...
Astroland, Coney Island. Brooklyn, Home of Ralph Kramden
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 ...
