One R.I. mom’s mission to bring the iconic Rocky Point roller coaster back home
The Corkscrew ride was closed when the Warwick park shut down in 1995. But when Chantelle Croft found out the old coaster was for sale, she started a campaign to buy it. Chantelle Croft, a 42-year-old mother and bank employee from Johnston, R.I., has started a campaign to bring back the old Corkscrew roller coaster at the Rocky Point Amusement Park in Warwick, Rhode Island. The roller coaster, which was sold when the park shut down in 1995, is currently being sold at the Wild Waves Theme and Water Park in Federal Way, Washington, which is closing and is for sale. Croft has enlisted public support through sharing old videos of the park, garnering thousands of views and hundreds of comments. She also has to find a place for it to operate in Rhode Island due to the financial constraints of the city.
