Rocky Point Rides
I did go to Rocky Point several times when I was a teenager and I remember how much fun the park was. After the park was sold, all the rides were sold off in auction, so I tried hard to track down what happened to all the rides. I tried several times to contact Norton's Auctioneers of Michigan, the company that handled the auction, but never got a reply. A special thanks to all the Rocky Point fan sites that helped me collect this list to the best of my ability.
