A New York establishment, Astroland Amusement Park on Coney Island's boardwalk, closed its doors Sunday, after 46-years of amusing visitors. Since landowner Thor Equities decided not to renew the lease with the park owner, 300 park workers will be out of work after they dismantle the rides.
Not all is lost — the Cyclone and Wonder Wheel rides have been spared, thanks to their independent ownership and landmark status.
