I'm disappointed with the list above. Here is my list that I think would maximize revenues for our beloved park....

1. Build a NEW Shore Dinner Hall and operate it SIMILAR to the days of old...Any top restauranteur in Rhode Island would LOVE to have the opportuntiy to produce a Rhode Island shore dinner that made Little Rhody famous. Talk about huge revenues.

2. Call in Walt Disney or Great America to assist in designing a small but tasteful version of a Rhode Island specific amusement park/boardwalk that would have the potential to bring in people from all over New England or perhaps the entire eastern sector of the U.S. north of Virginia. Disney did a fantastic job creating California Adventure highlighting amusement boardwalks of old here in California along with highlighting white water river rafting (you know..the water ride), old trains, soaring over the state to see it's highlights, etc etc. I think it would be a wonderful idea to do something like that.

3. Bring the old swimming pool back. It shouldn't be that hard to do and would give a place for families to go all summer long. I remember that pool being FILLED TO CAPACITY every summer I went there. And, yes, as modern miracles would have it...it would be easy enough to cover it and convert it into a skating venue in the winter. If Hotel Del here in San Diego can create a skating surface during our winter...Little Rhody can.

4. The fishing pier/pier boat dock..with a restaurant at the end of it is a great idea. These are one of the most popular things for folks to do here on the coast of Calif.

5. A wedding venue works well as long as it is not the only thing you all do.

Bike paths and picnic areas do not bring in revenue and do not build family participation and memories.

OK...So there you have it from a Little Rhody gal who has seen what works here in California. If you build the correct infrastructure for the site the problems of traffic and needed sewerage and utilities can be overcome. Just put your thinking caps on. All the things I've suggested can be great memory builders from the past and into the future and each one is a great revenue builder. GOOD LUCK MY FRIENDS...BUILD IT AND THEY WILL COME...!!
