Sadly Angel, Astroland is a dive now. The arcades I saw there a few weeks ago were miserable, run down and any of the half-way good machines I wanted to play didn't even work, including the crazy old gypsy woman fortune teller. Half of the ski-ball machines didn't even work and the ones that did had f'ed up score displays. Astroland itself still has that "old time carnival" feel and the cheesy haunted house rides are some of the most outlandish I've seen, but the arcades are definitely on their way out.
In all fairness, though, Coney Island as a whole is on its way out. Half the arcades and amusements, including batting cages and go karts, were demolished and plowed over earlier this year, and Astroland was "bought out" and will be sold piece by piece after this season.
After this fall, Deno's Wonder Wheel Park, Nathan's Famous, the Cyclone (which is a landmark) and a few businesses here and there will be all that's left of Coney Island. Got to make room for those luxury condos on the boardwalk!
