The unofficial “Mayor of Coney Island” — who led the successful charge to landmark the building’s exterior in 2010 — said that he wished the restored building would include a theater space, but he is nonetheless glad the long-derelict building will be revived.

“My attitude is, the building was falling apart, and I’m thrilled that they are there restoring a landmark building,” said Dick Zigun, who’s also the founder of the Coney Island Circus Sideshow. “I wish that they were restoring the theater as a theater, but there is no legal way to require them to do that.” 

passer by from brooklyn says:
“In order to fill a theater year-round, you need tourists year-round, and we don’t have that yet.” wrong answer. at the end of several subway lines with several food options, all you need to do is put out stellar product. tourists ain't the answer.

A Starbucks would be amazing, hope they come through with the national chain. Overpriced coffee leads to better neighborhoods :)

If turning it into a hotel means someone is willing to restore it then thats how it should be.
