I can still remember the haunted house doors being smashed by the carts and the smell of the inside. I’m 43 now.

There just is not enough innocent fun for families and growing children and teens. This was a great place to go and make memories.

Its cool to see the past so vividly. 89 seems like yesterday. Good old days, ah to be 17 again.

What a nice keepsake for you and your family, sir! A window into a simpler, better time. Thank you for the upload!

this place will always have great memories for me from the days as a kid in the 70's to almost the day it closed in 1996

What a cute, happy, adventurous little girl! Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I miss rocky point park alot

What memories. Coming from RI my parents would always take my sister and I there in the late 60's. My father always insisted we eat first...chowder, clam cakes and watermelon. Then off to the rides (and no we never got sick). It was a once every couple of years trip and never a bad time. We also went to Crescent Park which wasn't as popular as I recall.

i was 15 in 1989 and RP was instrumental in my childhood. i fondly remember all those rides. thanks for posting this. Sad they tore it down.

Lil Rhody!! I miss those days..1989..just graduated from HS..Probably the last Summer I went there. So fun.

Thanks for this video I was 8 when this video was taken I had many fond memories of Rocky Point. My grandparents had a cottage at Rocky point beach (owned by the park) I spent many endless summers there when he park closed so did the summer beach community and our cottages. Those were the best times ever thanks again for video

I remember they had a giant pool with high dive diving boards, my brother did a two and a half flip off it, great times we had!

Beautiful loving Parents

I loved Rocky Point. My parents meet there and worked there when they were in there late teens. My mom was 18 when they got married and my dad was 5 years older but they stayed together to the day my mom died !! I miss her so much she reminds me of the mom in this vlog. She took me to Rocky Point with my dad and sisters. My mom hardly ever went on these rides since she got into a car accident that screwed up her back but out of the blue she asked me if i would go on the music express with her and we did twice !! She loved it even with me being on first and when that ride went super fast i flew into hwr and squished her like a pancake and i felt bad i kept trying to pull myself off her but with the spinning i just couldn't i was not strong enough. I am so happy to see this tonight it brought back the great memory of my mom ❤

Remember going there in high school from Foxborough in the late 80s.

Wow, amazing. This video gave me chills. I grew up in CT, been living in L.A. since '99. The last "spinning" ride I ever went on was the same black & yellow spider thing starting at 2:18. It was probably around the same time period, too. I was a teenager, think I had eaten some clam cakes right before getting on, and immediately threw up as soon as I got off. That was literally the end of my spin-around-in-a-circle-ride career ... but I still tell that story once a year.

This is a great video, thanks for posting! It makes me want to step back in time and see all the great 80's stuff happening back at Rocky Point! Also, 'Mom' was a good sport apparently, I would've been throwing up Rocky Point chowder all over those rides, haha.

Wow takes me back to my childhood last time I was at Rocky Point was Summer of 76 during the Bicentennial. Cool video thanks for sharing of course a lot of the rides changed recognized the Tempest the Sky Diver The Spider saw the Castle of Terror in the back ground they changed the cars for dodgems unless it was the bumper cars over by the flume. Oh yes the Scrambler and the Tilt a Whirl.

Oh wow. My parents used to take myself and my brother (and also some random friends) here yearly. I was 16 in 1989. Omg. Memories.

Thank you so much for posting this. I grew up and still live in Warwick. Buttonwoods. These memories are burned in my head forever.

Very cool seeing this. May of 89. I met my wife there in June of 89. I worked there in the summer of 1989 and 1990. This brings back memories for sure. Thanks for sharing.

thanx for the ride down memory lane my friend

I still have videos I took when I brought my kids to Rocky Point back about this time.

I had so many fun memories at that park. Always a good time😊

I lived in Bristol, RI and when i went fishing at Bristol bay, I could see the park. So when I wasn't fishing, I spent a lot of time there..

I went once maybe a year or two before this video was taken. Drove to Rocky Point a couple years ago. Amazing the change. Quite nostalgic...

I remember going on family vacations with my family every year and I remember Perfectly well that we went Rocky Point Beach in Rhode Island one summer and it was the best summer fun that my family and I had ever had and brought so many memories back to us to each time we look at the old video tapes and family photos too. And that was the Summer season of 1992. And I was just 10 years old at the time. And then we back to it in the Summer season of 1994 when I turned 12 years old. And then back 1995 we heard it was loosing business and shutting down for good we were all very sad by the news of that. But we have found memories of being there photos and videos of it to last us a life time. And we all agreed as a family it was one the best Amusement that we have had ever been to in our lives and it will sadly and greatly missed. And may God Bless it. So thank you so much for my input and I appreciate it and I will see you all soon enough d Sincerely Susan Iseman from Upstate New York near Albany New York.

Thank You for posting this! I was 7 when this video was made and I have many fond memories of this place! Just today I checked out the new State Park at Rocky Point, It's beautiful. You'd almost never know an Amusement Park was there.

Wowwww! Was 17 then, what memories, rocky point and Lincoln Park!

Hermosas y emotivas imágenes! Saludos desde Argentina.

great vid we all had good times hear..i love all the old cars.when cars wer real metel

I was 24 in 1989… was just thinking that the child in the video has to be about 40 now! OMG! I grew up in MA and went to RP a few times in the 70’s and 80’s… so nostalgic, so much fun! 🥹Most vivid memories were of the sky ride, Flume and music express, and there was this one ride, the car was round and one person sat on each side, and it rocked and rolled and they strapped you in so tight at the abdomen that I thought my guts would squeeze out! 😂 And of course I remember the Shore dinner hall ❤

My brother and I were just there yesterday (june 1) the skyline supports, the arch, and concrete edge of the pool are still there.! Signs are posted where some of the attractions were. A very nice park to walk around, but so sad that it no longer exists.

I loved this place. Driving from CT all the time, Especially the Clam cakes. Thanks for the upload.

Its eery. How you can see it almost wilting like its the last time we're gonna see a child have their childhood.

Brings back memory's (Good of course) when i was younger my family and I used to go nearly every summer, that and Edaville RR, thanks for posting it

The best of times 👍👍👍

Brings back wonderful memories!

I wish they would bring it back

Thanks for sharing. It brought back some great memories. Your daughter was just a little thing, so I didn't expect to see any roller coaster clips. This place was great family fun. I miss their clam cakes.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing. This made me smile SO much. We had a Ford Grenada around this time... MAROON inside and out - ick, lol!

I miss Rocky Point!

Awesome video of rocky point in 1989.

Loved seeing this. Thank you!!!!

i used to go there when i was little to eat clam chowder..but when i got older, it became a regular hangout...I might be in one of these videos. I was there a ton. Michael Jackson was one going to buy it....but he didnt. Miss this place

Pretty great footage. I grew up in RI in the 70s. No better place to spend a day than Rocky Point. (It's a shame that her children won't have the same experience.)

I LOVED THIS PLACE. RIP .

oooh that tilt o whirl made me dizzy just looking at it. and the scrambler! always grab the inside seat!

Great vid. Thanks for the Memories.

Loved going there as a kid

thanks for uploading this

Wow i had so much fun at this place remember when u had to pay an extra 25cents for the corkscrew lol next to the cyclone lol

Scary thought...that "little girl" in the video is now in her 30s :-)

Oh I miss the days when you had to make sure that our own safety belts were actually on. We did that ourselves. That's how real we were. Now you got help to do that.

You can just smell the bay.....at low tide no doubt! 😲

For as cheesy as this place was.....I miss it.

2:19 THEY WERE PLAYING WINGER..if they brought back rocky point, they would make a ton of cash

Never made it to this one...Heard about it plenty, though...

Nice video quality. I remember this park very well. How did you digitize that video? Mine come out very very bright.

I remember somebody flew off the yo yo and landed in the trees and bushes lol
