We spent most of yesterday afternoon and evening wandering around Astroland, shooting photos and video. It was relatively uncrowded early in the afternoon and became much more crowded as the day went on. By evening, it was packed with people who turned out to say goodbye for the season and, possibly, forever. We had a few words yesterday about the closing and why developer Joe Sitt could earn significant goodwill by simply announcing a one-year extension for the park. Otherwise, you can find our full flickr set of 60 photos by clicking here. You can also go directly to the slideshow by clicking here.
