Coney Island to be revamped

Coney Island's Astroland park has been sold recently to a developer for 30 million.

There is going to be a new theme park there:
January 25, 2007

Updated renderings of the future $250 million Coney Island Park were unveiled today.

The $250 million amusement park will replace Astroland, which was sold in November.

The new park will feature a hotel, a man-made canal and 21 rides, including a hundred-foot-tall coaster that loops under the Boardwalk.

Coney Island Park is scheduled to be completed by 2011.

As a twelve-year resident of Coney Island, I wonder if there will be more weed-smoking motherfuckers in the new park or less??

Sidenote: if they make that area habitable, I'll buy a waterfront condo and will never be heard from again.
