Response to Questions Received for the Reinventing Playland Park for the 21St Century RFP Response to Questions Received for the Reinventing Playland Park for the 21st Century RFP This document represents answers to all written questions received as of the October 27, 2010 submission deadline for questions regarding the Reinventing Playland Park for the 21st Century Request for Proposals. Because of the thorough and extensive questions received, the deadline to release this comprehensive response was extended to December 17, 2010 from the original November 17 deadline. All answers are as complete as possible and contain information available to the county responsive to the particular question. Many parties have asked similar questions, therefore, the document is broken down into distinct categories, with questions in black and answers in red. Due to the volume of materials in certain responses, many of the answers provide links to documentation, detailed information or websites. Additionally, responses may not include data for all years requested; for consistency and because of archived or difficult to find documents, any request for 10 years worth of data are presented as 2005-2010 where available. In some instances it is suggested that interested proposers make an appointment to view documents in person because of their size or scope. Some answers to questions reference or paraphrase sections of the Westchester County Charter. The entire charter can be accessed at http://ecode360.com/?custId=WE0640. Other answers may reference or paraphrase sections of the RFP which can be accessed at www.westchestergov.com/rfp .

If a proposer chooses to continue use of the Amusement Park or current park related activities on site and a proposal includes provisions to replace any existing County workers exclusively performing these jobs, under NYS law, the union may challenge the legality of that contract between the County and the vendor, and if the challenge is successful, the court may void the contract causing the County to incur significant costs associated with the replacement of this workforce.

See below If union work is required, what is the scope (e.g., union work required to install a new ride, but not to lay carpeting)? See below There is no requirement that proposers utilize union workers for functions that are currently being performed by non‐County personnel.

  • THE CYCLONE, 834 Surf Avenue at West 10Th Street, Brooklyn
    Landmarks Preservation Commission July 12, 1988; Designation List 206 LP-1636 THE CYCLONE, 834 Surf Avenue at West 10th Street, Brooklyn. Built 1927. Inventor Harry c. Baker. Engineer Vernon Keenan. Landmark Site: Borough of Brooklyn Tax Map Block 8697, Lot 4 in part consisting of the land on which the described improvement is situated. On September 15, 1987, the Landmarks Preservation Commission held a public hearing on the proposed designation as a Landmark of the cyclone and the proposed designation of the related Landmark Site (Item No. 12). The hearing had been duly advertised in accordance with the provisions of law. Six witnesses spoke in favor of designation, including the ride's owner, whose support was given dependant upon his ability to perform routine repair and maintenance. One witness spoke in opposition to designation. The Commission has received many letters in favor of designation. DESCRIPTION AND ANALYSIS Summary Descended from the ice slides enjoyed in eighteenth-century Russia, through the many changes incorporated by French and American inventors, the Cyclone has been one of our country's premier roller coasters since its construction in 1927. Designed by engineer Vernon Keenan and built by noted amusement ride inventor Harry C. Baker for Jack and Irving Rosenthal, the Cyclone belongs to an increasingly rare group of wood-track coasters; modern building codes make it irreplaceable. The design of its twister-type circuit and the enormous weight of the cars allow the trains to travel on their own momentum after being carried up to the first plunge by mechanical means. Now part of Astroland amusement park, the Cyclone is not only a well­ recognized feature of Coney Island, where the first "modern" coaster was built in 1884, but, sadly, is the only roller coaster still operating there.

  • Westchester County and New Rochelle Background
    5. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND EXISTING CONDITIONS New Rochelle’s location on Westchester’s Long Island Sound shore places it within one of the state’s wealthiest counties. According to 1995 estimates from the United States Census Bureau, Westchester has New York’s fourth- highest median income, at $53,043. Only Putnam, Nassau, and Rockland, also New York City suburbs, and all much smaller in size than Westchester’s 443 square miles, has a greater median income. 5.1.1 WESTCHESTER COUNTY: HISTORY As shown in the map at left, Westchester County borders, on its south, the New York City borough of the Bronx. According to historian Frank E. Sanchis, this location at New York City’s doorstep has “always put it in the center of activity relative to the balance of the nation.” Indeed, Westchester’s development has historically been fueled by its proximity to what has been, since 1820, America’s largest city. Before the days of railroads or highways, Westchester had the trade routes of the Hudson River and Long Island Sound. In the 18th century, the primitive post roads to Albany and Boston were cut through Westchester’s rolling, wooded hills. When New York City’s population boomed after the 1825 completion of the Erie Canal, Westchester furnished many of the city’s raw and finished goods. Iron foundries were located throughout the county, and Westchester’s numerous brickyards and marble quarries provided the materials for the thousands of row houses and monumental new institutional buildings spreading across Manhattan. When Newgate Prison in Greenwich Village was no longer adequate, it was replaced in 1828 by Sing Sing, “up the river” in Westchester County.

  • Great Old Amusement Parks – Keep Your Hands and Feet Inside the Car at All Times – and Enjoy the Ride!
    GREAT OLD AMUSEMENT PARKS – KEEP YOUR HANDS AND FEET INSIDE THE CAR AT ALL TIMES – AND ENJOY THE RIDE! Long before giant theme parks and computer-controlled thrill rides, this country had lots of charming and beautiful amusement parks where families gathered for a cool escape on hot summer days. GREAT OLD AMUSEMENT PARKS celebrates some of the pre-Disney parks that are still thriving as well as a few of the classic parks that are gone. The one-hour special, produced by WQED Pittsburgh, takes you on old wooden roller coasters, vintage bumper cars and many other cool classic rides. We look at some amusing history and discover what's special about these amazing parks that bring people together and keep them coming back. GREAT OLD AMUSEMENT PARKS visits places like Playland Park in Rye, N.Y., and Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh, Pa. -- the only two parks in the country recognized as National Historic Landmarks. At Northern California's Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, we hop on the Loeff carousel (circa 1911), where brave riders can still lean out and grab for the "brass ring." We visit Holiday World in Santa Claus, Ind. -- a traditional old "themed" amusement park, where sections of the park represent different holidays: Christmas, Halloween and Fourth of July. It's one place where you can talk to Santa in August. During the special, award-winning producer Rick Sebak mixes historical footage, old postcards, vintage music and new video that was shot from California to Connecticut, from Chattanooga to Altoona to create his trademark "scrapbook documentary." Sebak takes viewers across the country to check out the quirky joys of some of these parks.

  • In a Dozen Plans, Ideas for Restoring the Thrill to a Westchester Amusement Park
    In a Dozen Plans, Ideas for Restoring the Thrill to a Westchester Amusement Park By LISA W. FODERARO March 27, 2012 A proposal to revive Playland, which is losing visitors and millions of dollars a year, could be chosen by the end of the summer. RYE, N.Y. — Would Playland still be Playland without rides? With expansive water views and Art Deco architecture, Rye Playland — the 1920s-era amusement park owned by Westchester County — has offered generations of children in the area their initial taste of cotton candy and first spin on the scream-inducing Dragon Coaster. But amid competition and shrinking budgets, Playland has been less than thrilling for the county, losing millions of dollars a year as its popularity steadily declines. Now the Westchester County executive, Rob Astorino, wants to reimagine the amusement park. In 2010, he invited prospective entrepreneurs to think creatively about recasting 100 acres, which includes 50 rides, an ice rink, a swimming pool, a boardwalk, a beach and an artificial lake, all perched on the edge of Long Island Sound in this affluent community. Mr. Astorino, who came to Playland as a boy and now brings his own children here, invited developers to do away with the amusement park entirely, if they chose, or to expand it. The only stipulations: public access to the beach and the boardwalk had to be maintained, and housing was off limits. “What can we do to reinvent Playland for the 21st century?” asked Mr. Astorino, a Republican, who vowed to address the Playland problem when he ran for county executive in 2009.
