I was just thinking the same thing... One flew over the Coo Coo's nest. Classic film.

I bet they hit them with high pressure water as some form of treatment...

Joe Nissil has an awsome historical site for Rocky Point. Rocky Point Park first opened in 1847, this WAS one of the oldest amusement parks in America. In the eraly days this was a Victorian Amusement Park with beautiful architecture. At that time this park had state of the art rides including a Loof Ferris Wheel. The park is rich with history as well. In 1877, President, Rutherford B. Hayes was the first U.S. President to make a telephone call. The call was between the President and Alexander Granbell who was in Providence, R.I. Later such famous people as George M. Cohen sang his song, Yankee Doodle Dandy for the first time. Even the Three Stoogies performed here early in their careers. It is sad that this great piece of American history is gone. If you want to know more, there is a book called: RHODE ISLAND AMUSEMENT PARKS. I am thankful that I experienced this great park before it closed.
