Coney Island's Astroland Park, closed for the winter months. The amusement park is home to the famous Cyclone roller coaster, built in 1927 and operated by the Albert family since 1975. They sold the park two years ago and it was rumored that their continued operation of the Cyclone caused conflict threatening the re-opening of the park, but they reached a deal and it will re-open on March 16th.
