ā€
ā€” GTA IV Manual Description

Funland is an amusement park in the HD Universe rendition of Liberty City located in Firefly Beach in the Firefly Projects, south Broker. It is based on Astroland, a former amusement park in Coney Island, New York City. Though Funland is not an interactive location, it can be visited in-game.

Attractions

According to Michelle, the park is going to be rebuilt as a Las Venturas-style theme park, much like real life plans to renovate Coney Island.

During the last mission of The Ballad of Gay Tony, Luis Lopez kills Ray Bulgarin's entire private army here as well as destroys their heroin shipment they had stored.
