Astroland, where many of these photos were taken, was closed after Labor Day, 2008. It was a fixture on Coney Island's boardwalk since 1962. Some other carnival rides are there in that space temporarily until "modern" development starts by Thor Equities.

Beautiful collection

Great capture of a place that I'm sure will be missed. I hope the some of the items found a place to be saved and displayed.

Great stuff. I went there just as I was beginning my first photography course several decades ago, and recall the potential. You've seen it through. Great images here.

Very cool! If I murder the developer will they keep it open?
