I think amusements would be a great idea, as long as you had both indoor and outdoor amusements to make it a year round entertainment center. There is an indoor mini golf in Providence which seems to be doing quite well.. Water park type rides for the summer outdoors, but how hard would it be to have indoor ones as well, so that it could be used both winter and summer. Paddle boats would be enjoyable, Bumper cars, include some of the classic amusement rides that were part of the history of Rocky Point as well. West Warwick just opened an indoor trampoline park, why not one here?. I honestly think that what is stopping the city or state from doing things like this is liability... I would imagine that the insurance for such a facility could be prohibitive. A shore dinner hall, maybe not as large as before, that serves the traditional fare that was once served at Rocky Point would be an integral part. Bring back the swimming pool, add a skating facility like at Rockefeller center, but one that can be used for ice skating in winter and roller skating in summer.. We need something that will not only attract out of staters, but also give RI'ers and their out of state visitors something of interest to do. The only thing we have here in RI are the mansions, but they only interest certain types of people. Everyone else travels to CT for the casinos, to MA for 6 Flags, to CT or MA for the Aquariums etc. We have nothing but miles of beaches but you can only take so much sun before you get sunburned or skin cancer... Let our children experience the fun that we did when we were young, it just might get them interested in doing something physical, something besides vegging out in front of video games and computers and even better, it just might get families doing things TOGETHER, like we did as kids. Some of my fondest memories were of going to the drive in as a family, going bowling and skating or to an amusement park as a family, The added benefit is that Warwick is centrally located. The only drawback is that road access would have to be improved... as I can remember the long lines of cars trying to enter on that one lane road into Rocky Point.
