For the past 150 or so years, Coney Island has been a major getaway for New Yorkers with many amusement parks operating there since the 1890s. But one that stuck out to me because it operated for a short time I was alive was Astroland. Opening around the time Coney Island’s glory days had passed: the original Luna Park had closed twenty years prior and Steeplechase Park was only two years from closing. Yet despite people finding places to have fun elsewhere, it managed to live on alongside Deno’s Wonder Wheel until 2008 with the current Luna Park opening two years later. But does anybody here have any memories going to Astroland? Because I personally don’t have any recollection going there but I feel like I went there at least once between ‘06 and ‘08 where I was around 2-4 years old.
