A historic wooden roller coaster at Rye Playland in Westchester County was damaged by an electrical fire on Saturday evening, officials reported. The fire broke out at approximately 8:50 p.m. at the Dragon Coaster, one of the oldest wooden coasters in the United States, located within the waterfront county-owned amusement park.

At the time of the incident, the park was closed for the season, and no injuries were reported. Authorities confirmed that the flames originated from an electrical fault, though the precise cause remains under investigation.

Rye Playland, which has served as a regional attraction for nearly a century, hosts the Dragon Coaster among its roster of rides. The fire’s impact on the coaster’s structure and future operations is yet to be fully assessed by officials. Local authorities and park management are working together to determine the next steps for repair and restoration.
