Rye Playland amusement park-goers will have to pay an entry fee in a plan that County Executive Andrew Spano says will eliminate a taxpayer subsidy to the park. Called "pay one price," the plan will charge a $25 entrance fee for residents and $30 for nonresidents, or $3 to $5 for non-riders.

I think the idea is to make money, and if this does that and gets ride of the public subsidy, it's the right idea.

We went last July after spending the day at Coney Island. There were 3 of us and we each rode the Dragon, mouse and flying coaster. We did the funhouses and maybe one flat ride and it was over $100 in tickets. We got there late (around 8:00 pm) so we didnt consider the POP. It is a great park but very pricey. We will be in the area next summer for a trip to Sleepy Hallow and this time it will be the POP or not go.

Sleepy Hallow? As in Sleepy Hollow of Ichabod Crane / Washington Irving fame?
Two years or so ago on a trip that eventually took us to SFNE, my wife and I stumbled upon Sleepy Hollow by accident when we were visiting the Tarrytown Lighthouse along the Hudson. We spent an unscheduled hour or hour and a half exploring the Old Dutch Church, "Headless Horseman Bridge", and Sleepy Hollow Cemetery. One of the unexpected surprises of our trip.
Not far from Rye along I-287 on the east end of the Tappan Zee Bridge.
