A domain bought and originally put into use by Coney Island landowner Joe Sitt was snapped up by an adult webmasters and replaced with an adult portal.
On its face, the unplanned changeover comes at a bad time for Sitt, who had been planning a $2 billion expansion of the storied amusement park. Information about that expansion would have been presented at the site in question, TheFutureOfConeyIsland.com.
Now the domain leads to a Belgian adult portal, SexePorno1.com. Webmaster Davina Cukier runs the new site.
But Sitt may have known was he was doing. According to The Brooklyn Paper, Sitt's company, Thor Equities, let the domain lapse last fall. Apparently Sitt has been battling with city authorities to have an area on the New York coast rezoned for his new development.
"Sitt’s decision to no longer maintain the 'Future of Coney Island' site cast new doubt on the developer’s interest in continuing his battle with city officials over a zoning change that he needs in order to build his 24-7-365 amusement, hotel and retail complex in an area roughly between the Cyclone roller coaster and the Keyspan Park baseball stadium," wrote reporter Gersh Kuntzman.
