Step into a wooden boat and drift back to 2013 to experience a living piece of American amusement history! This is a full, front-row ride-through of the legendary "Ye Old Mill" at the historic Playland Park in Rye, New York, beautifully preserved from August 27, 2013.
Originally opened in 1929, this classic mill chute/tunnel-of-love style dark ride has spent nearly a century gently drifting generations of riders through its winding, water-filled caverns. This rare 2013 archive captures the attraction in its pre-restoration state, beautifully preserving the eclectic vintage scenes, dimly lit atmospheres, and old-school amusement park magic before the ride was completely overhauled in 2019.
