CloseThe Dragon Roller Coaster is a famous Playland Amusement Park roller coaster in Rye, New York. The coaster has been a popular attraction for 75 years. Many people from New York City visit Playland during the summer, and because the Dragon coaster is so popular, it is important for it to last for many more years to come in the harsh environment.
The amusement park is located on the shore of Long Island, so it is exposed to harsh winters and to the salt-laden air environment. Because the galvanized steel was used for the frame of the Dragon coaster, for safety reasons, no imperfections on the surface were acceptable. The structure was also required to withstand the strains of continual runs of the coaster. HDG was specified because of its durability, uniform quality, and corrosion protection. These benefits of HDG will allow the Dragon coaster to handle the continued stress of the hurtling coaster and harsh environment, so the coaster can continue to be a popular attraction in the future.
