This is Derby Racer


Derby Racer is the other one of the 2 of its kind in North America (See Cedar Downs, which is very similar). I believe there is also one in England, which I obviously haven't gone on, but I'm proud to say I've been on 2 of the 3.

Anyway, I rank this one below Cedar Downs because it goes faster and is not as comfortable. Since Derby Racer goes a little bit faster than Cedar Downs, I felt more like I was going to fall off. This was suspenseful, but a bit annoying too. Also, the horses seemed smaller (unless I just got bigger :-) ), so I didn't feel as secure. The ride is still good, though, and was one of my favorites on my trip to Playland. (picture courtesy of www.ryeplayland.org)
