Astroland may open again

One day after Coney Island's famous Astroland closed for good, city officials Monday floated a plan to resuscitate the historic amusement park.

Despite little interest from Astroland owners and landlord Thor Equities, city officials are pushing the two sides to agree on an interim deal to keep the park open.

Sources said the city then hopes to find a different spot for the beloved park as part of an ambitious plan to redevelop Coney Island.
