Locals are roaring mad. The iconic wooden dragon at the historic Dragon Coaster at Playland amusement park has been unceremoniously chucked in a dumpster — and park patrons are fuming about it. Westchester County officials said the move was necessary to replace the crumbling dragon, which has been the symbol of the county-run park for decades but has aged out and become a hazard.
