Blast off! Part of Astrotower to be removed
Everyone knows the Parachute Jump is Brooklyn’s Eiffel Tower, but this week the borough got its own Leaning Tower.
As we were going to press, this paper learned that a portion of the Astrotower will be removed as soon as possible “so the areas of Coney Island that have been temporarily closed to the public may reopen,” according to Chloe Gallo, a spokesperson for Luna Park.
The famed Cyclone rollercoaster and the area of Luna Park adjacent to the coaster, including the Wonder Wheel, have been closed since the afternoon of Tuesday, July 2.
