Rye Playland, located on New York's Long Island, has opened a new thrilling family flat ride named the Old Rye Motorbike Factory.  The attraction, seen above, represents a $3 million investment in the park and features unique theming and an interactive component to the ride experience.  The attraction is billed as the first of its kind in the United States, though it is unclear which ride manufacturer created the Old Rye Motorbike Factory.

Regardless of who manufactured it, the ride looks like a lot of fun!  The park has really put a lot of effort into theming the attraction, which makes it fit in perfectly with Rye's authentic and classic feel.  The ride features individual "vintage Italian motorbike" themed cars, complete with a sidecar attached to each motobike.  The interactive portion comes from riders being able to control the amount of outward swing that the cars have using a level in the vehicle.   Riders 36 inches and above can ride the Old Rye Motorbike Factory with an adult, making the attraction perfect for family run.

This season is the first in several that will see a total of $135 million invested into Rye Playland, a majority of which is going into rebuilding aging buildings, improving very old infrastructure, but also adding rides.  Cheers to the County for investing in the park to keep it around for decades to come!
