| TPR Notes |
|
Zamperla USA (CAI) took over the lease for the old Astroland plot and brought in many of their parent company's flat rides. The park lost a little of it's traditional and carny feel. It is now runs in a more polished manner, but long ride cycles remain a Coney Island tradition.
Most of the larger flat rides have high minimum height requirements so while there are limited rides, younger children will not have a lot of shared rides with their parents.
Although food options in the park are limited, there are wonderful independent food vendors right outside the park gates, including Nathan's and Grimaldi's Pizza | |
