Posted at 9:09 AM EDT (1309 GMT)

Jul. 19th, 2007 -- Westchester County officials announced Wednesday that the Mind Scrambler ride at Playland will not be returning.

A worker was killed June 29 on the ride and there was also a death on the ride in 2004 that influenced the decision.

The county also announced plans to close four other rides after the 2007 season: Bumper Fun, the Flying Witch, Zombie Castle and Power Surge.  The ride removals though are not related to the deaths on the Mind Scrambler.
