CYCLONE LEFT STANDING IN ASTROLAND
Coney Island’s historic Astroland opened for its last season. Developer Joe Sitt plans to knock it down, leaving the Cyclone roller coaster, to create a complex including a new roller coaster, carousel, a hotel and condos. Critics worry that Coney’s vintage Americana identity will be destroyed to homogenization. (April 2007)
