It’s always the way. Take away the fun and put in some more bland.
Great photo though. I was looking at a photo just the other day in an exhibition that was of the ‘Wonder Wheel”. I was wondering where it was… now my curiosity is satisfied. :-)

Great shot Madeline. What a shame that that places like this are so rapidly becoming memories.

Wonderful black and white photo! It’s nice to see home. I spent a lot of time twirling and spinning on this Wonder Wheel! Tearing it down? I haven’t heard about that. That’s a tragedy. I thought all the developers sunk their teeth in, had their fill and were leaving it alone for at least the next decade or so. How awful. I left New York about 5 years ago, and WOW do I miss it. So thanks for the sweet memories, and blow a kiss for me!

I recently heard that they are going to tear down Astroland, but leave the Cyclone and the Wonder Wheel up for historical reasons.
