and now it's an eye sore , get rid of it

Probably could've been used for a rail-trail tunnel.

my uncle lives around the corner from there....... try to find, a grave yard, i think it's in Lancaster, area,,,, beyond an already old cemetary sp, is yet another one, after crossing rail road tracks that are still used,,, there's a grave yard, with a black slate stone (kinda new commemorating the site, dated 1635. ask around, people know of it. I know you guys will get a kick out of it

I worked there in 1974 and 1975 i ran amusement games loved it. Just saying

I believe the property was leveled recently. Nothing about the drive in is left. It's now a repair shop for a local Semi dealer. Vandals set the screen on fire shortly after this video was made.

Bankers crushed Rocky Point. The usury demolition of our entire economy continues today. Look around you.

I walked about half through this tunnel back in 93 (right around the time of the riots). It was empty - there’s random stuff like couches/carriages/random trash. The tracks were dry for the entire walk (about half way through) There was so much stagnant water. Some was a creamy rust color (right?) and the murkiest black water I’ve ever seen. It would have been mad easy to hide a body in there - some of those black pools looked deep. I remember bringing a candle to make sure we had oxygen. They closed it bot long after. It’s a shame PVD can’t sort it out. A few years ago there were plans to convert an unused tunnel as an underground garden / walking path. That’s be dope af.

very sad

Thanks for the memories! My favorite ride was the corkscrew.😊

I went every year since I was in a stroller until they closed it. I wish they would bring it back.

I live in Rochester and that game is a big piece of history. I honestly didn’t realize they had moved but that makes me sad, they were one of the memorable teams that the red wings played

I took an 2 hour drive from MA to Rocky Point a few days after watching your video a couple times! It's a gem of a place and I could feel how special it was when I was there from what I learned in your video. Thanks for all you do for New England Abandon History!!

Another great short documentary Jason! Keep them coming. I love learning about this stuff!

Lived in Connecticut for a few years and never knew this place existed. I am from Washington, one of the rides there, the corkscrew is now in Federal Way, Washington. About 15 minutes from JBLM.

If not already planning they should make it in to AFFORDABLE living apartments!❤

I remember going to Disneyland in 1980, in December.. John Lennon got shot and killed when we were there . And I remember thinking, Disneyland sucks, Rocky Point Park is way better!!! My father's company had their picnic there every summer. It was absolutely the best ! RIP Rocky Point!

Stay positive and love your life 💛

love your work thankyou...MLfrom west greenwich

So how radioactive is the grou d now?

Love the content Jason. My family is from Barrington and we spent our summers on Block Island before moving up to NY in the 90s. It's truly remarkable how much history and character RI has. Your ability to document and narrate our tiny state's history is incredible. However, I am a bit apprehensive for any new content releases due to the fact that it's getting harder to see locations with personal connections in states of abandonment.

How about a tiny bit of analysis of how the radio frequency reception worked? This is so shallow

I grew up in NY & had been going there since the 50's, we had family in Warwick. My Mom had to go the Shore Dining Pier every year for clam chowder. Our oldest son got to enjoy the park but our youngest son never had the opportunity. I cannot believe they never built condos or townhouses there & the land still stands vacant.

I come here after a short on WW2 channel introduced me to the existence of this station. Thank you for this video !

Very interesting an informative story thank you for this

I forgot that song awesome !!!and clam cakes and chowdah on the boat as a kid

The towers are being taken down and the land subdivided for housing and a solar farm. Our ham radio club used one of the antennas for a contest. We worked European stations that had never before worked a US station on that band.

Great video. I like the controller towers and the picture of the active ones in the old days. I got to go in one in the old U.P.R.R. yard in Salt Lake City before they took it down. It had been vacant for 20 years and fenced in not vadelized .it was like a timecapsul. Most of the yard is gone, and they made the depot into part of the Gateway mall and apartment complex. The tower lot is a community vegetable garden. They built growing boxes with imported soil because, like most old railway yards, the soil has had any number of spills large or small . Toxic soil is part of history. I'm 56. 40 years ago, I was in Cedar City, Utah. Lucky similar situation. Depot station house. Like a timecapsul. It looked like it was ready for business. Ticket book on the clerks desk. It's also apartments.

Absolute shame Rocky Point is gone. I am a 69 year old man and my parents took the family here here in the 60's, 70's and 80's. When I married and had children we took them here. Nothing could beat the Shore Dinner hall where you could get clamcakes, chowder, watermelon or other seafoods. Kids would always have a blast on the rides and playing the arcade games. Of course they would want the candy apples or cotton candy or doughboys and how could you say no. It was a good day for all. Fourth of July you would try to make sure you would go there and spend the day and wait for the TREMENDOUS fireworks...

Ok so why do I feel like crying? WTF.. I'm old!

Thank you for sharing all the hidden jewels of New England. A creators dream. I just did a shoot at 6:00 am at the Windswept Mansion….. it was magical!!

I wonder if poor Mr. Peabody was buried or cremated? If buried, it must still be very radioactive and probably lies in a lead-lined casket or vault. RIP sir.

The old wooden floors are soaked with machine oil.

That's in Centralfalls RI.By CVS.

what if I told you my uncle demo company went to Westbrough State Hospital and he found the morgue plus I know a LOT of good spots around Nh, CT and Mass, plus you're wrong about South Weymouth Naval Air Base about Watertown getting filmed their they filmed it somewhere else in Mass AND South Weymouth Naval Air Base is one of my favorite spots perfect spot to test your rc vehicles and drones !

All summer long fishing clam cakes and chowder and amusement rides until it closed. Great video

Where my Kent county peps at !!!

My family has had a place here for three generations now, never even knew this specific spot existed, though I have checked out the sites on the southern part of the island. Amazing what can be just around the next bend.

Nice

I drove by the site recently, and it appears that it has been demolished.

Rocky Point was an end of the school year field trip in grammar school in the mid 70's! All the way from Boston!!

Cool. Came up in my feed and I like watching Bright Sun Films channel on abandoned things. I’m sure to watch all these videos since I’m from RI too.

Route 146 has a bunch of old history with this milk can and drive-ins, I used to drive 146 to work in Attleboro from Worcester

Excellent presentation. Thank you for putting this together. We all have our own Rocky Point memories going way back. I find it very sad that big government ultimately ended up the owner of Rocky Point. To me, that is a sad commentary on where everything in America ultimately ends up... in the hands of big taxing big government.

Born , brought up in Burrillville and went often.. Rustic Drive in also..Joyland roller skating rink twice a month..Carrolls hamburgers.. R.I Reds at the Aud..Gaggers at Onlyville.. Mezza Luna pizza.. AH , Memories..

My childhood was spent here. Friday night concerts were great. My fiance (former) and I took his kids here in 1996. They loved it as much as we did.

Great video, great memories!

I loved Rocky Point!

You did see anybody else in the abandoned trainstation?!

Great videos and editing and narration, I’m was raised in Easton ma., I like local New England history and most of all trains ! Glad I came soon you’re site!
