super cool site!!....

How'd you get the lights on in the basement shot? Love it.....

Here be trolls

Yes it is, we had to install one in the facility where I work. It isn;t so much feeling like a cage, but now they can't jump....

Does anyone know the story of Mikey? Cuz I really want to find out for research I'm doing (I'm a paranormal investigator) I was over in Letchworth and it's definitely "alive" with activity. That and does anyone have any idea of what buildings are which (I can't remember the layout of the grounds)

I had always wondered about that. I would hate for my medical records to just be left where anybody and everybody would be able to read them. Not that there is anything there that would really be of interest but still the idea that somebody could know about my conditions and not be my doctor is kind of creepy.

The menu at the shore dinner hall was
clam cakes and chowder
1/4 baked chicken or baked scrod
steamers
lobster
watermelon

they also use to put out a plate with onion slices and olives.

That was my very first job! 1979, washing dishes at the shore dinner hall. I remember my first paycheck...$83.00 wow! I use to hitchhike from buttonwoods everyday in the summer until I was old enough to drive. how times have changed !

Frank, I worked for MRB from 82 - 84. My dad ran security for the park ( LT. Jim Godbout from Warwick PD). I notice nobody ever mentions David Casciolli (sp?). I have been living in South Carolina since leaving the Marines in 88'. It is sad to see what happened to this wonderful place.

I worked there!! that was my first job in the park (Iworked in the Shore dinner hall for 2 years). The arcade was a blast. I met my first true love there. Her name was Kerri Melillo, she has married since and is now Kerri Batista, if you know her please say hello dor me. RP was my personal playground for my childhood and teenage years. My father ran security for the park from the mid 70's until his retirement in the late 80's. I only thought about RP a few days ago after seeing a you tube video. It brought back tons of memories, and I have been on the computer for a few days now looking at all the old photos. thanks

Why the hell is a tree caged but this fireplace not? I mean not every kid can climb up a tree but every child gets fascinating by fire and wants to play with it.

WOW! i love the color in this shot!
