Not again! :/
See my pictures and podcast about Rye Playland here.
Keith Iorio says:
“Sign and share this petition if you’d like Playland to remain an amusement park: The currently-selected future Playland operator (Sustainable Playland, “SPI”) would demolish half the amusement area (which likely would further decrease attendance/revenue with devastating results for the remainder of the amusements). SPI’s plan will eliminate 30% of the rides and 50% of the amusement park footprint. Two other contenders are experienced, successful amusement park operators which would restore, improve and maintain the historic amusement park as such. The experienced operators already have the funds available to make their proposed improvements, while SPI has no experience running amusement parks and has raised only a negligible portion of the funds it has promised the county.”
They also have a facebook group.

Please don’t destroy this incredibly historic and special place!
Be sure to sign the petition in the post above and get involved on their Facebook page – the people in charge are probably not reading my blog I would wager. 🙂
[…] might not know that the park is in danger of having half of it demolished next year for no apparent reason that I can discern other than the local government doesn’t want […]
