ASTROLAND
Location: Coney Island, NY

Opening date: Now open
Similar to: Unique and in its final year. The Cyclone roller coaster will remain after the park closes. If you go, try the Breakdance ride (pictured) - because of the way they manually run it, it’s the highlight of the park in my opinion.
