Here are some of the coasters, and what
we think of them, at Playland.
- Dragon Coaster
-
Although the entranceway no longer has the phrase "World's Smoothest Roller
Coaster" painted on it, this old coaster is still smooth and fun. Lots of
hills, lots of turns, and a great, new, dragon-shaped tunnel are the highlights
of this very long ride.
This also holds sentimental value for us, as it was Jon's first full-size
coaster.

- Kiddy Coaster
-
This beautiful woodie for young ones runs with gorgeous Art Deco junior-NAD
trains. This is not like most kiddie coasters that are rough and short, like
the park's own Family Flyer; this is just a scaled-down version of a real
wooden coaster. Normally, adults are not allowed to ride this one.

There were other coasters at this park
that have since been removed. Some are described below.

- Hurricane
-
Sort of like an intense Galaxi coaster, this
standard production model has some small air-time hops, steeply banked curves
and helixes, and one special curving drop where the train dives to the right so
steeply that it reminds us of the evil "space diver"
Flashback (SFMM). Overall, this small coaster packs a big punch. It's a
bit rough and wild, and it'll leave you a bit dizzy, if not sore. But
sometimes, that can be fun.
