Reports have been made that Rye Playland is looking to install a new World Record breaking ride. Zamperla, who is one of the companies interested in buying Rye Playland, wants to put in the world's tallest pendulum ride and raise record 10 feet higher than the previous record holder. The tallest pendulum ride is currently 147 feet, so that would make this model around 157 feet tall. In addition, Zamperla wants to try to add new rides each year, starting with this big pendulum ride first, to continue growth of the park from the current 350,000 guests a year account to their predicted 700-800 thousand guests a year count. Keep in mind, this plan will only go into effect if Zamperla can win the bidding for the park against Central Amusement's, who want to add a few rides immediately, and then work on bringing old park visitors back so they can see what the park looks like now.
