So what kind of changes are exactly happening to Coney Island? I'm hearing some different stories, some good, some bad. I went to NYC this past Spring with my school but we didn't go to Coney Island. I've always wanted to go there. Are the changes going to harm that certain Coney Island Charm that I hear about?

What i read online is that there going to destroy Astroland and build an all year round vegas style resort, there gonna be condos and some hotels, the cyclone and parachute jump are gonna stay but im not sure about the wonder wheel. the new owner is just gonna add some more rides, a bigger roller coaster. the weird thing is that the new owner, Thor Equities, also bought he naming rights to Coney Island and wants to change its name. He cant do that, that name has been there for 368 yrs, since the Dutch came to NY

Coney Island charm was 50 years ago when it was an entertainment mecca. Today they are going to rebuilt Coney Island by adding condos for the folks with money. Same is true for Far Rockaway, plenty of condos being built there too. Everyone wants to live on the waterfront.

It's a restaurant chain in the metro Detroit area that offers diner type food. I believe it's a franchise, but am not sure. Popular Coney Island franchises in the area are Leo's, Nationals, and Greek Boys. Great little restaurant chain unique to the Detroit area!

Well, last time I heard they were going to be building hotel resorts and casinos around there and the boardwalk is so old thst there are huge gaping holes in them and some of the boards are missing but Coney Island is fun though.
