Yep, seems like each starway was entirely different than the next. As if a group of designers could not agree and just tossed all designs in there together.

I get kind of a Art Deco feel from this design.

Hmm... This must be how things look under the influence of some bad shrooms, L-O-L! Interesting angles and I agree, unusual design.

Almost looks like the risers in a lecture room. I imagine chairs placed in rows on each platform. But looking at the scale of the door openings, they are stairs. Interesting shot.

Again, a space that seems undisturbed and in great condition for an abandoned place.

Umm... Perhaps it's a soap mixer to mix the soap for the SOAP DISPENSERS! L-O-L!

I agree, it seems to be in great condition for something sitting abandoned in a place where they murder innocent sinks...

Well, those would be combination Wall Lamps with Soap Dispensers! The style of the door is called French Provincial and they are beautiful. A door like that these days would be quite expensive.

I remember the Warwick Musical Theatre. That was the best place for a concert, you always had a good seat no matter where you sat. As a kid I use to go there to see the Stars. I was able to not only catch a great concert. But I got many autographs and photos of the Stars there.

We just tear down and throw away our culture and history in this country... Sad...

JASON RETURNS !

Rhode Island has very harsh weather conditions. If buildings go un-maintained this happens. The House Of Horrors structure facade was gunnite cement formed over chicken wire. Over years of neglect the extremes of the weather there took over. If the building was solid concrete it would still be standing proud. Afterall, the House of Horrors was the last ride standing fully intact til it fell.

This was also a Bill Tracy design, this is a real loss... Sad indeed...

The TROLLY STOP Amusement Parks were the best. They were the first ever built. We were lucky living in New England as this region had more of these parks than any other place. Rhode Island alone had atleast five great old parks. Rocky Point was the first to opwn back in 1847 and then the last to go on the auction block.

Coney Island in N.Y. was a Trolly Stop Park, Thank God most of it is still there and in operation...

Rocky Point Park was the second oldest amusement park in America. It is a damn shame they let it go. Basically the park was a victim of bad management. They ran her into the ground. This park was th bomb for over 100 years. The last five or six years the park started to die and the last owners let it go. Poor management and a lack of pride. I think they were planning on selling the land to developers for big bucks.

Rocky point Park first opened in 1847, she was the pride of Rhode Island back in the day. A sad loss for Rhode islanders...

NOPE.... They are going to build Condos... Boring, over priced Condos...

Hmm.... Third row, seventh box over... That's it!! The missing ballots that were not counted! Gore did win! L-O-L!! HeHeHe!!

Hmm... Could it be... URANIUM ORE!

If your toes start to glow in the dark, you've discovered Uranium...

Hmm... I agree, this looks like the stuff we had on the walls in the radio station I once worked at... Maybe this machine was noisy...

Interesting...

Well... Dang it... Someone get the Flux-Capacitor and fire the thing up! Let's see what it does!!

Ahhh... The Chief finally ripped it off the wall and escaped!!

That is a relay panel for an Elevator Controller. The relays pop in and out to trigger stops and doors on each floor. The more floors you have the larger these panels are.

You might also try LINCOLN AMUSEMENT PARK in North Dartmouth, Ma. That park closed at the end of the 1980's. I think the wooden roller coaster and some buildings are still standing.

I still have a set of Salt & Pepper shakers from that gift shop! L-O-L!

You all can ask me anything, I grew up there and visited that park every Summer.

I can not count how many times we rode this ride. What a shame that this is all gone now...

Yep, I always loved that old DarkRide. It was cool, we ahd alot of fun over the years there.

They look to be big Diesel engines...

It is amazing all of the thought and design that went into these buildings. Even knowing these places were mainly used to hide the mentally disturbed. Now these wonderful specimens of Architecture sit waiting to fade away... Once again, great shot Mr. Motts.
