Come Ride This Ride

It must officially be Spring as the Coney Island amusement park, Astroland, unlocks its doors today. Turning 78 years old this year, Sunday will be the opening ceremony for the Cyclone Rollercoaster (this would explain why that thing is so damn rickety). The first two hundred people in line get to ride for free. A word of advice my friends; ride the rollercoaster before binging on hot dogs and cotton candy.

Date: Sunday, March 20th
Time: 12pm
Location: Astroland, Coney Island
Cost: Cyclone is free, other rides varry
