as a former employee of rocky point , i can honestly say that the viking was originally on the 2nd level ( MIDDLE ) And holding a decapitated head. this goes back to the earliy 60's. I operated that ride ( along with others in the park) . Rocky point became part of my family at that time. i can still see my boss ( John Ferla ) walking through the park and always with a half smile and saying to me " faster boy . . . faster.
He and his wife (pina) will always be somewhere in my heart. i can still see that big RED cadillac with that plate R P P - 1. Jeanny's ice creame next to diamond jims across from the ferris wheel. The fortune teller was to the left of them. The flying coaster ( another ride i operated. Sargent Glendenny of the warwick police department making patrols through the park on those little scooters. many more memories and will always cherish all of them.
