Next up is Danny the Dragon. Danny was originally a ride at Freedomland. When Freedomland closed, Storytown purchased the ride. Unfortunately Danny is no longer in existence.
To capitalize the Western and Cowboy craze, Storytown added a ghost town. Of course the ghost town needed a Marshal and this is Marshal Bill McKay who also sings and plays guitar. He is all decked out in his Western Wear and Acme boots.

Awesome photo of Danny the Dragon, with the added bonus of a miniature train in the background.
A clone of Danny (with a different paint job) still operates at Happy Hollow, a venerable city-run kiddie park in San Jose, CA. And I don't know if it's still there, but another Danny's head and chest used to be part of the decor in the comedy-themed "Cave Train" at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
