We lived just over the line in CT and would go up there frequently during the summer and have the chowder and clamcakes. Then go off into the park. It is so sad ( and intriguing) to see this pictures. Is the shore dinner hall still standing?

Wow, that's a really long sentence. My brain ran out of breath reading it. Also that girl that was scalped by an amusement ride at Bonkers 19 indoor amusement park at the Harborlight Mall in Weymouth, Massachusetts. It was also a Mini-Himalaya that caused the injury and not a falling elevator styled ride.

ho, ho, ho... iguess it takes a certain frame
of reference to find this picture hilarious.
stuff like this ALWAYS snuck through the culture of the late 70's, kids were allowed to use their imagination back then. mom and dad actually didn't intefere with ther kids' fantasy lives as much. usually batshit crazy stuff like this doesn't survive this long!

what happen to this place
Rocky Point Park was the second oldest amusement park in America. It is a damn shame they let it go. Basically the park was a victim of bad management. They ran her into the ground. This park was th bomb for over 100 years. The last five or six years the park started to die and the last owners let it go. Poor management and a lack of pride. I think they were planning on selling the land to developers for big bucks.

Rocky point Park first opened in 1847, she was the pride of Rhode Island back in the day. A sad loss for Rhode islanders...
NOPE.... They are going to build Condos... Boring, over priced Condos...
