How forbording. Talking about your basic warehousing. Who lived in the penthouse? It's bizzaroworld.

you wanna know what really boggles my mind about places like this? think about this for a moment: Kings Park closed its doors in '96. think of the historical events that this building has not witnessed: the deaths of celebrities and presidents, the columbine shootings, 9/11, the columbia crash, the war... it's mind boggling. its almost as if this building as well as other buildings have a sort of innosense of what has happened since they've closed... like they've frozen in time. I don't know, that's just sort've what I thought, since I live on Long Island. it's amazing to think that I was only 6 when this place closed...

great shots! wouldn't find something like that out of the us i think! greetings from germany!

Lynne,
The crematory is way in the woods why would they travek that far to burn garbage?

All opinions are welcome - just check the manner in which they are expressed, please.

Thank you.

I'll get defensive whenever I damn well please, no matter who says something I disagree with undefinedsome of the comments I don't bother with because they're a few years old and the original commentor probably won't be reading it or caring).

Can you prove that art isn't art when it destroys something else? With real facts and evidence?

I was in WSH a couple of years ago. What I saw was not too interesting, except the room with Snoopy and the Red Barron painted on the wall. That was creepy, also a carrige was in the hall way and a small childrens rocking chair. Cribs in the basement that kind of stuff

maybe the "brother" controlled the temp so the patients wouldn't scald themselves?

i live so close. i was inside like 5 yrs ago in highschool. now i go to umass and im even closer. went there last night for the first time in a while all drunk but couldnt find an entrance :(

where I was sent away, they had one of these. we played a very unique style of bingo, where each square had a personal question on it that we had to answer when we got that square filled. seems kinda theraputic, but some of those questions were very difficult to answer, especially when you answer it and have sneers and giggling from all around the table from the less kind patients.

the more I see pics like this one, the more I realize I'll never have the courage to actually do any exploring whatsoever. :X

I look at these pictures and want to cry. Rocky Point was such a part of me. But all good things come to an end. Politics and corruption were definitely part of the parks demise. I did eventually become part of upper management and saw the nasty underbelly of business. After all, it was run by Italians (Myself being one!) One bright and shining moment, though, is that I met a girl there. I was a ride operator on the Apollo in 1984 and she kept coming on my ride. Turns out we've been married for 19 years now and have 3 children. I am amazed that all of you are so fascinated with its history. I thought the park was long forgotten but thanks to you, it lives on. You guys are great! O.K. enough sappy crap! John, I've got a trivia question for you.... Which two rides at Rocky Point played music as patrons spun around? Good Luck! Talk to you all soon!!!!

Wow, Its Crazy how destroyed that is

Hi I live in Glenn Dale and it really is sad to watch the hospital everyday on my way to school. I believe so that many people died here and it really makes me have terrible dreams about it. So what I am trying to say is that there is bad story to this place like every place.

WHOA!!! FAVORITE! FAVORITE!!
