The vintage Dragon Coaster Rolls Again. Westchester County Recreation and Parks Commissioner Peter Tartaglia said “The Dragon” was very popular on Opening Weekend.
WPCNR PLAYLAND-GO-ROUND. May 14, 2014:
The Westchester County Commissioner of Recreation and Parks reported to WPCNR that Playland Opening Weekend drew 5,500 admissions Saturday, despite threatening weather. On Mother’s Day, Sunday, the park drew 5,000 persons, Commissioner Peter Tartaglia said.
Tartaglia said that when a thunderstorm rolled through the park on Saturday many Playlanders took shelter and lingered, with many waiting out the short-lived cloudburst.
Tartaglia said all rides were open at the park and attractions were fully staffed. He said the park is employing 500 persons, and interviews to hire are still going on.
A reduced admission price of $15 a person for all day rides in effect for opening weekend and through June, perhaps was a factor, he said. He also credited the promotion of free ride admission for mothers on Mothers Sunday will be repeated for fathers on Sunday, June 15, Fathers Day.
Playland opens at noon Saturday. Same low prices:
