LI Sound. It's incredibly well kept. They have a wonderful collection
of old flat rides, including an Old Mill, Derby Racer, and Whip. They
also have a house of mirrors and two ride-through dark houses. The
primary coaster is the Dragon, which is a 1928 Prior and Church - it is
a VERY mild double figure 8 Woodie with Morgan trains. They also have
a small Wildcat steel coaster and a flume. I've attached a link:

You should also be aware that Rye Playland only sells Pay-Per-Ride tickets
-- there is no Pay-One-Price for unlimited rides. That isn't necessarily a
bad thing, however.

In a ddition to the Dragon Coaster (a fun ride!), Rye Playland has a S&MC
Windsotrm called the Hurricane Coaster, it is NOT a Wildcat.
It is a very nice place to go, they have an 85 foot S&S tower, new this year.
Other rides of note: Derby, Old Mill, 2 ride thru sppok houses (decently done),
a flume, a house of mirrors, Chaos, Chance Thunderbolt, Gravotron, Tomahawk,
and go-karts.

who will ride the Flip 'N' Out before any coaster!

Hey, you forgot the Kiddie Coaster! Its a PTC model I think. But you won't get
on. No adult EVER gets on.

The Kiddie Coaster is a Darling coaster. Literally - it was designed by
one Frank Darling, who had acquired L.A. Thompson's company after the
Father of Coasters had passed on. It also runs a kiddie version of
NAD's Century Flyer, so there's no PTC involvement here.

I am not an adult and I have a 3 year old niece I have been pretty darn good at
getting on any kiddie coaster I want.

This one is different. You either need special permission or a fist-full of
Franklins to board. They are EXTREMELY strict up at Rye.

Is it worth it? The money I mean?

For the park as a whole? I think so. Its two credits on the ol' coaster count
for me. I did it alongside the packed Westchester County Fair this year. That
seems like the only way to go there.
