Playland Park in Rye Faces Financial Struggle and Delays
The 86 year old Playland in Rye, a county amusement park near New York City, posts losses with 2013 at 4.3 million and attendance down to 390,000 last year. County Exec Rob Astorino says the status quo cannot continue as a revamp plan lags politics and neighbors. The park remains a family outing with a boardwalk and beach on Long Island Sound and is tied to the film Big through its iconic end scene.
