Mrs. Peel Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Anyone who grew up in or near RI remembers Rocky Point Amusement Park. It's slated for demolition soon, and my good friend has just finished a documentary about its history. Check out the website You Must Be This Tall including trailers and a news story about its release. And for anyone currently in the area, the movie will premiere on 9/7 at Woonsocket Stadium Theatre. I won't miss it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 Yo, I saw the BEASTIES there in 92. You see that show peel? Beastie Boys, L7, Luscious Jackson. A ticket bought you an all-day pass to the amusement park. One of the most memorable days of my life. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't really go to RI in a non-family-vacation way until I went to college at URI. That's where I know the movie guy from. Actually, he was my college sweetheart.

quarter23cd Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 That was fun flipping through all the photos of the old park on the website. That's kind of a strange fascination of mine--photos of old abandoned amusement parks and stuff. I blame Scooby Doo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
