The Astroland Rocket of Coney Island finally found a new home. Former Astroland co-owner, Carol Hill Albert donated the super-awesome Rocket to the NYC Economic Development Corp. on behalf of the Coney Island History Project. We still don’t know where it will actually live though.

UPDATE: Apparently giving it to the NYEDC means the Astroland Rocket will stay in the Astroland/Coney Island area whatever the redevelopment projects.
