Those Astroland rides that have been up for sale, but that are supposedly no longer on sale? Well, we don’t know about that, but what we do know is that we looked online and found that (as of this morning) they’re still listed for sale. In the meantime, someone that called Astroland reports on the Coney Island Message Board:
I spoke with the management office. She told me that the last day that Astroland will be open is Saturday, 08 September 2007, and that after that date it will be totally shut down for good, and will be dismantled.
Of course, as usual, we would expect tomorrow’s story to be that Astroland will remain open in 2008. And Wednesday’s story will be about its permanent closure. And Thursday’s story…

Astroland closes for good on Sunday September 9th. Unless the city figures something out before then, that is. Don’t hold your breath.
