On July 7, 2007, exactly three days after Nathan's held their famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest, my family and I visited what will soon no longer be the Coney Island that I love. Though the Wonder Wheel Theme Park which is shown in this video will still remain on the peninsula for several more years, its neighboring Astroland Park, home of the world-renowned Cyclone rollercoaster, was bought by real-estate investors Thor Equities in November '06. It was recently announced that the 2008 season is probably its last! I really tried to capture the crowds in this video, and some of Coney Island's landmarks the Wonder Wheel ride and the haunted house known as Spook-A-Rama, which will hopefully still continue to thrill us for decades to come! SIGN THE PETITIONS!
Yea, I'm gonna miss Astroland... I rode Spook-A-Rama though...scary!
