i went into there today and man its just so depressing like everyone said, cause after i went all i wanted was for it to be back open. Such good memories from when it was open.

i rode that when i was younger that thing was great. I went to it today the building next to it had been completly demolished and flatened so im guesing i got to see that the last day of its exsistence

I live about a 25 minut walk away from there and today is the 3rd day since they bagan tearing it down, i snuck into today and took some pictures. I wish it was still open and operating that place was the best

Hi John Black,

The ride is operating at Misquamicut /Atlantic Beach Park. It has metal replacements and a few of the original MC Illion horses that were on the original Misquamicut carousel.

The small kiddie carousel that used to be at Rocky Point is operating in Cranstion at a Dairy Queen.

I am glad to see these two carousels still in operation. It is too bad the large carousel was broken up for collectors. The replacement animals are just not the same as the originals.

Hey other Lynne,

This ride was reinstalled elsewhere, albeit with the replacement animals. Not the original wooden horses. If you're interested I can find out specifically where. I believe it was either at Misquamicut beach or a, believe it or not, a Dairy Queen.

This was my favorite ride, the carousel. This carousel was very unusual. It not only had horses but it had all types of animals. The outside row had very large standing animals and there were two inner rows that moved up and down. I would assume at one time it had a brass ring machine since the outside animals were stationary. I was sad to hear that this carousel was being auctioned off.

Unfortunatley RP Park never maintained it properly and the wooden animals were in pretty rough shape last time I seen it. The damp salt air took it's toll on the animals.

Now the animals are in the hands of collectors and this ride is only a pleasant memory for me.

The last time I went to Blackpool Pleasure Beach I noticed that almost all the rides had a plaque stating when they opened.

Some also stated that a few other parks had similar rides, Kennywood was one mentioned a few times, along with a park near Mexico City.

I've been on the ghost train at Blackpool Pleasure Beach a few times.

I used to go there every 2-3 years on a day trip with my family, & once or twice with friends in between.

I think my family stopped going because it was getting expensive because you have to pay per ride, while other places like Alton Towers you just have to pay at the gate & everything's free to go on.

so sad, I loved the house of horrors, made me scared but I loved it. so sad to see how places just this melt away but the memories do not. Thanks for the pictures.

So sad this wonderful place is gone. I remember the excitement of finally getting to Rocky Point (after an hours drive) and seeing this sign. It is so sad that these places (including the Warwick Musical Theatre) no longer exist for families. Parks like Rocky Point, Whalom and Paragon were so much better then the "Six Flags" corporate parks. These parks had charm and personality, not to mention great old fashioned rides and fun.

So sad, I had so many memories of this great place, and the shore dinners!!!! We will never see a place like this again. I loved the Flume!! and your commercial brought back a flood of memories.
