Astroland's final day may be this Thursday - Daily News

Say stop if you’ve heard this before, but once again, these could be the final days for the Astroland amusement park at Coney Island.

Astroland could close its doors forever come 1 p.m. Thursday, according to the Daily News.

The park’s (seldom updated) website currently states the park will be open daily until September 3, and then weekends only from September 8 “to date to be determined,” which is how they normally wrap up the season.

Next summer, Astroland would be replaced with new “amusements, games, shopping and entertainment galore,” a spokesman for developer Joe Sitt told the Post.
