It’s a sad day for me as I can remember when I was a kid growing up in Queens, NY, my parents would take me to Coney Island for its Famous Nathan Hot Dogs, Amusement Park and Boardwalk. Coney Island says good-bye after 36 years.

The owner of Coney Island’s Astroland said yesterday she is calling it quits and the historic amusement park will close for good on Sunday September 7th.

Carol Albert, whose family has owned the Brooklyn amusement park for almost a half century, said she gave up on negotiating a two-year lease with Thor Equities after the developer missed the deadline to reply.

Thor spokesman Stefan Friedman said the company is “extremely disappointed that Carol Albert has decided to give up on the future of Coney Island when her current lease isn’t even up for a number of months.”

The park was under threat of closing a year ago, but Thor — which owns the land under the park — and Astroland agreed to a one-year lease extension.
