Coney Island in February

The iconic Coney Island is no more. Yes, we all knew this was coming, but when I was there a few weeks ago, construction crews were building a new roller coaster directly behind where the Shoot the Freak space used to be. While I have to admit that I am a little itsy bitsy tiny little bit excited to see what this roller coaster turns out to be, I would take the old Astroland back any day over whatever new thing gets build here.

I took this photo through a hole n the plywood covered fence that enclosed the construction area.
