Multiple rides at Playland will be out of commission when the park opens on Saturday, either temporarily or for the entire 2025 season, Westchester officials confirmed Friday morning.
During a media tour of the park on May 23, Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins, a Democrat, said there are four rides the county won’t open all summer. In addition, there are other rides the county deems inoperable – including the park’s crown jewel, the Dragon Coaster – but Jenkins said officials will try to get them cleared at some point this summer.
“There was no way to make sure that everything could be open in one swoop,” Jenkins said.
