If that were the case they would have done something to this ride....like dismantle it??? The state would have stepped in and done something about that. In the Pennsylvania incident, the ride was dismantled and sold for scrap. If this happened at Rocky Point, why was it up and running till the park closed???

In all my years of living in Rhode Island while Rocky Point was open (lived there for 27 years) I NEVER heard of a story like that. I heard of the people getting flung off the Yo Yo and the person almost taking a header off the corkscrew, but that was about it

You are right doc, this was the sky liner and the story that John Black is talking about happened at an amusment park in Pennsylvania NOT Rhode Island. The only time people got hurt on this ride is when they went to jump for the car and they would fall off the side. I saw it happen once and a man broke his leg. The medical people were trying to help him and he kept screaming "DONT TAKE MY PANTS OFF THERE ARE WOMEN AND CHILDREN AROUND!"

To this day I can still smell the oil from these wheels because they were going so quickly that it would burn the oil up.

Some of us loved Rocky Point and we like to share our feelings about it and how much we miss it.
