Too many of you are living in the past with this. If the RPP of old couldn't support itself in good times, it's damned sure not going to make it in hard times. And a Disneyland-styled park would either fail miserably or turn Warwick into something you won't recognize at all (and my first concern is the city of Warwick, not the state of Rhode Island or its "trendy upscale" residents).

Look to a combination of things that work for everybody, and are affordable and non-intrusive to either the land itself or the host neighborhood. A fishing dock and pier and bike and walking paths would co-exist nicely without taking away the open space concept, and would not return the surrounding neighborhoods (which have grown and changed) into the long-suffering bystanders they once were. And there would be plenty of opportunities for wedding-related events, from "just pictures" right up to outdoor weddings like those now done in other parks.

Think about it...if it becomes yet another incarnation of the old amusement park with prices even higher than they were when it closed (which, for many who hopefully will read this, is long after enjoying it as kids), how often are you going to fit a day at RPP into your life? And before you opt for "Disneyworld North," I suggest you go to Florida or Cali and spend a day in lines and a lot of money, and then see how you feel.

Keep it open, keep it local, and keep it real.
