I came up with this idea where the kids from the Disneyland Fun Sing Along video rode the carousel at Rocky Point. It does sound a bit weird, but I made it take place in 1990. What do you think of this idea? Do you like it???

THAT LOOK SO WEIRD BUT ITS COOL

I wanna ride the carosuel! where is it?

Yet another fantastic (but also sad) set of pic's!
Shame the place went to rack n' ruin!
Cheers...

I'll never forget the thrill of seeing the salt water pool and the high platform diving board on the right when you first drive in. When I was a kid in the sixties, I was totally freaked out by the jungle terror dark ride with the jeeps. That rhino came out at us and I totally lost it. I was there when the flume first opened. I used to bug my mom all the time to take us there when I was a kid. Rocky Point was the most thrilling part of my childhood. So many good memories.

A great yet depressing gallery. What a damn shame, the oldest amusement park in the country had to close and is now just wasting away. At least the rides went somewhere and are hopefully being put to good use. Thanks to John Black for all the info!
Thanks Motts, I loved the gallery and the links you put on the gallery's main page!

I'd like to add that in actuality it is Frankenstien's Castle as noted in the mural on the lower left hand corner incorporated as a sign pointing the way.

Just happened to think about Rocky Point and found this site. I worked there in the mid to late 80's, mainly painting signs and later in management. I'm a high school math teacher in Missouri now, and those were some of the best days of my life! I did touch up the cars in the House of Horrors. It's so great to see the interest in the park never died - unfortunately, greed and corruption was its demise. I had the pleasure of seeing "You Must Be This Tall" by David Bettencourt. It's a great documentary, Take care everyone!

Ah I remember that ride. One time on it I was sitting next to this older teenager who was cracking himself up laughing pretty much. Laughing hysterically. I don't remember much of the ride but I remember being in those little carts, scary monsters painted on the walls and going thru the doors. But that guy laughing hysterically really brings it back to me.

wow, i can't beleive it. i used to work security in the arcade room over there i remember! damn i moved a couple yrs before it closed. that place was the best, thanks motts! i still remember that one night were that one kid kept rigging the pinball machine that pissed me of so much cuz the kid tried to take all the coins in there and ended up breaking my favorite one that i always played when we were closing up that place. It was that black laggon one and i had the top 3 scores freakin' kids. sad to hear it was abandoned after i moved to haverhill new hampshire. mannn! i forgot about that place until i went looking 4 it online, and its full of coyotes now? i want to kill myself i had such a good time just sitting watching from the corner of the arcade were u usually stood if u wanted to see every thing when my job was security. well... thanks for the site motts it really brought back the memories thanks!

i dont get it .......

I think I went to Disneyland as a 2 year old...

To the people who are wondering what happened to the original band organ from Rocky Piont Park: I own it! It left RI for a few years and became lost. I then found it in the posesion of an old man in Maine who sold it to me! I am in the process of getting it to run again. Today, it is in Little Compton, RI at the Antique Stove Hospital

You know that the three stooges where there and that larry fines wife did while he was there and he had to fly home?I Think It was is 1967
