Welcome to the website for our
Rocket Ship Car®.
This
site will be dedicated to the history of the ride from
Euclid Beach Park® known as the "Rocket Ships"®.
We
would like to thank all of the support we have had from our
families, close friends, past employees, and our customers.
Through this site, and it's sister site,
www.theeuclidbeachboys.com, we will continually keep
everyone updated with some of the new and exciting things we
have been up to with our Rocket Ship Car®, over the past few
months!
The new venture in Florida
has
taken flight fairly well. Many people down south have relocated
here from Cleveland, and there is a lot of "product recognition"
with many of the residents in the sunshine state. For us it is
all about making people smile...just the way Euclid Beach Park®
did for so many generations in Cleveland. For more history on
that park be sure to visit the following websites:
www.theeuclidbeachboys.com,
www.humphreycompany.com,
and
www.euclidbeach.com.
Thanks for visiting our site, and have an "Amusing day"!
Sincerely, "The Euclid Beach Boys"

You may wonder why I have this on my site, but
it is a fact of life that everything man made needs to be

comes into play. Before John and I got fully involved as
The
Euclid Beach Boys®
and building our cars we were in the
automotive repair and towing business for over 25 years.
So we know a great repair shop when we see
one, and besides we would not let just anyone work on the Rocket
Ship Car®....after
all your life, and your child's life depends on us, and that is
why we depend on Rick to help keep the Rocket Ship Car on the
straight & narrow here in Florida. Thanks Rick!

Help us
support Geauga Lake Park®
Our collection of Geauga Lake
memorabilia is quite considerable, and we are excited to be
bringing these things out for public viewing soon! We
are happy to support the newest venture of Geauga Lake Park®
supporters website so be sure to visit them at
www.northohioclassicparks.com for more information on future
events that we, "The
Euclid Beach Boys"®
will be a part of!
Thanks again, for supporting us in our
effort to preserve the memories of these old amusement parks, and have an amusing day!

Some people get tears in their eyes when they see things
they remember from Geauga Lake Amusement Park.
For that reason, Euclid Beach Boys Joe Tomaro and John Frato
jump at the chance to show their collections in public.
"It's a step back in time," Tomaro said, also referring to
the duo's memorabilia from Euclid Beach Park, which closed
40 years ago. "People close their eyes and they hear the
music and they can just hear the ride."
Anyone who's not yet experienced such a flashback, but loved
Geauga Lake — which operated from 1888 to 2007 in Aurora and
Bainbridge Township — is now invited to the first ever
Geauga Lake Memorabilia Show and Employee Reunion.
The event, which is not affiliated with Cedar Fair
Entertainment Co. or Geauga Lake's Wildwater Kingdom, will
be from 7 to 10:30 p.m. March 6 at Roller Hutt Skate & Fun
Center, 10268 Hewins Road, Route 88, Garrettsville.
The event will feature a slew of collectors of Geauga Lake
memorabilia, and organizer Jason Dlugokecki hopes to create
the ambiance of the amusement park where he worked from the
summers of 1994 to 1998; tunes and tasty scents that once
drifted over the park will fill this festival, too, care of
a DJ and a carnival food concession stand.
Fellow employees of Geauga Lake, Six Flags Ohio and Sea
World Ohio also might take this opportunity to reconnect, he
said.
"I met my wife there, pretty much all of my friends are from
there, and you troll the Internet boards and there are Web
sites all over still dedicated to the park," he said.
"I consider it my generation's version of Euclid Beach; we
thought it would be there forever and all of a sudden it's
gone."
One Aurora exhibitor will be looking to sell items he bought
during the June 2008 auction of its outbuildings, rides and
equipment. Another man will sell paper weights made from
wood salvaged from the Big Dipper's disassembly.
But most of the memorabilia that day will be for amusement
purposes only, Dlugokecki said. Euclid Beach Boys will bring
a log flume boat from the former Log Ride in which visitors
will be able to sit and take photographs, and possibly a
Musik Express car.
Others will show items from the Turtle Beach children's
area, home videos, employee training videos, and footage of
the park's auction and tear down on a few large projection
screens.
Dlugokecki said his own display will include the head of
park mascot Geauga Dog, uniforms from his employment, signs,
posters and banners, and pictures of rides being constructed
during the off season.
Admission is $5 to cover the facility's operating costs for
a nonskating event, but exhibitors and event volunteers get
in free.
"People just have fond memories of parks," Tomaro said, "and
it's a whole 'nother generation coming up for Geauga Lake."

I
could not believe it. When I saw the pic of the rocket
ship on the front page I immediately told my husband. I
know that ride That was at Euclid Beach Park.
I remember riding that. Yes it went around slow but to
an eight year old it went awfully fast. The other ride
that really sticks in my mind and I thought
was soooo much fun was the racing horses. Never forget
my grandparents talking about the dances that were
there. They lived in Euclid not to far from the lake.
Thanks for the trip back to my childhood.!!!! Brought
back things I have not thought about in a very long
time.!

Joe -
Sorry I did not make it down to see you last night.
I only had one volunteer show up and I had to be at
the patio party to run the drawing for prizes.
I heard you were as popular as ever and even had a
few people leave the patio party to catch a ride
before you left.
It's just not a festival without the Rocket Ship
Car! I could not do our summer events without you
providing this kind of fun.
Enjoy the rest of the summer and safe travels to
Florida.

Hey Joe,
I just wanted to thank you for squeezing me in today. I know
that you guys were super busy. To say that everyone had a good
time was an understatement. From 2-75 everyone went crazy about
getting to ride in "the car from the parades" as the kids called
it. John was also friendly and professional he made the
experience that much better. I hope we can do this again
next year. You made Anthony's party a hit.
Thanks a million, Robert

Hi Joe!!!
We really cannot thank you
enough for going the extra mile and being so patient when
everyone was running around changing clothes, holding you
up- changing the drop off point etc… you were flexible and
friendly and we appreciated your friendly service. We will
highly recommend your services over and over again! I
still have 3 more kiddos that still are not married! Your
thank you note was also extra special and it touched our
hearts.
All the best and thanks again!
Pat
P.S. Have an “ Amusing day too
J!!!!
Good morning, this message is intended for
Joe....Renee booked the Rocket Ship Car on July 08,2010 for
my event
Joe thank you soooooo much!! The Rocket
Ship Car made my bachelorette party a blast. We had such a
great time and you were wonderful. From the ride to
the music and lights it was just such an unforgettable event
for all. thanks again:)
Hi Joe,
Thank you for the terrific ride and keeping
the spirit of Euclid Beach alive! Everyone loved it! I
will look forward to my next ride! Maybe even in Florida as
my mother's house is in Holiday a bit north of Clearwater
near Tarpon Springs!
Thank you again! 
This letter was sent to me
recently: Feb. 27, 2010, and by the way Tom, we do have some
major surprises for the coming years. Watch our website
for future news!

Dear Euclid Beach Boys,
I had a few minutes to kill
while waiting for a file to load at work, and ended up spending
over a hour going down memory lane with your web site. What a
thrill it was to remember some of my earliest memories as a
child going to Euclid Beach Park, spending the day at the beach,
riding all the great rides and at the end of the day, stopping
at the Humphrey booth for some popcorn balls and candy kisses.
I remember going to other
places like Geauga Lake Park, Kiddieland, the Cleveland Zoo, the
Clifton Club, all places of my childhood that no longer exist
except in the shared memories with my siblings and old
photographs.
Thanks for the smile on my
face.

P.S. I had forgotten about
laughing Sal, but one look at her and the sounds that came out
of that woman came flooding right back :)
Joe,
You just totally make my party every year!!! OMG! I have
everyone calling me the next day and telling me how awesome
that Rocket Ship car is!!! I had someone who was interested
in having it themselves so hopefully you will get some
calls…….hopefully you had your cards with you and you gave
some out. I cant thank you enough ………so go ahead and put me
down for next year for the 1st sat. in Aug. and I
think that falls on Sat. Aug. 7…….thank you, thank you ,
thank you!!!!
Just wanted to say how much
I enjoyed your website. I
have a ton of great memories
of going to Euclid Beach
when I was a child! I have
known for a long time that
Laughing Sal was still
around, but have always
wondered whatever happened
to her "old man". Are there
any still existing? And
what was HIS name? I've
wracked my brain trying to
remember, but I
cannot.....can you help?
Oh (and I'm sure you hear
this frequently)....Laughing
Sal STILL creeps me out!
LOL
Thanks again for preserving
Euclid Beach!
Sincerely,
Debi
Good
morning
Debi,
Thanks
for
the
great
review
of
my
website!
"Sal's"
mate
was
known
as
Laughing
Sam.
He
was
removed
from
the
park
in
the
late
50's
to a
private
owner,
who
sold
him
to a
traveling
carnival.
I
heard
Sam
was
destroyed
by a
heavy
rain storm
while
being
transported
back
to
the
carnival
site.
The
rain
and
hail took
out
the
paper
mache'
that
he
was
made
of.
Be
sure
and
try
to
attend
the
stat
park
event in
September.
You
will
really
enjoy
it!
Have
a
great
day!
Joe
Good
morning
Joe!
Thank
you so
much for
your
reply to
my
email.
Now I
can
finally
quiet my
brain re
Sal's
mate's
name.....Sam!
That was
driving
me
crazy,
trying
to
remember.
Sorry to
hear
about
his
demise!
What a
shame.
I hadn't
remembered
that he
left
Euclid
Beach.
I was
around
10 years
old in
the late
50's,
and only
remember
BOTH of
them
outside
the "fun
house"
at the
Beach (I
think it
was
called
The
Surprise
House,
wasn't
it?)
All I
remember
from
those
great
days was
being
really
afraid
of
Laughing
Sal, and
not so
scared
of Sam.
But not
scared
enough
to stay
away
from the
attraction---that
one and
"Laugh
in the
Dark"
were my
favorites.
Thanks
for the
memories,
and I
will try
to be
there in
September!
Cheers!
Debi

Joe & John:
Thanks again for an
incredibly memorable
evening. Everyone had a
great time and really
enjoyed both the
presentation and the rides.
I really appreciate your
help in making last night a
party to remember!
Carolyn 8/3/2009
JOE,
WHAT A GREAT WEB PAGE,
IT SURE BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES.
I LIVED IN COLLINWOOD FOR MANY
YEARS AND CAN REMEMBER MY FOLKS TAKING ME TO EUCLID BEACH
,AND THEN OF COURSE THE TEEN AGE YEARS.
I EVEN WORKED IN "KIDDIE LAND"
FOR THREE YEARS,
WORKED ON ALL THE RIDES AND MOSTLY THE FIRE ENGINE.
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
RAY 8/2/2009
Thanks for the great review of my website! FYI we have 1 of
the kiddie rocket ships, 8 kiddie rodeo ponies, and some of
the large building block letters that were used throughout
the colonnade.
I hope you can make the State Park event in
September.....you will really enjoy it!
Joe
Thank you so much for
bringing the Rocket Ship out to our resident Luau. Some of
the residents had tears in their eyes when they saw it but
were not mobile enough to ride in it. Even though it
rained, no one let it dampen the party.
Hope we can use your services again.
Arlene 7/22/2009
What you just told me is the main
reason we do it! Just the sincere appreciation that we
receive from numerous people makes us work that much
harder towards our ultimate goal of getting our
collection, and the cars out there for everyone to
enjoy.
Thanks for the encouraging email.
Joe
"Have an amusing day"!
Hi, I came
upon your site while trying to locate a poster of the park.
I was a resident of Collinwood and my dad used to take my
brother and I to the park often, his company had their
picnics there, The only memorabilia I have is a photo of my
brother and myself in front of the entrance when we were
probably 5 and 6 and a charm that a boy in high school gave
me and I cherish both along with all those wonderful
memories. Of course I loved the Thriller but I think my
favorite were the rocket ships. Congratulations on all of
your treasures, I am seriously envious!
Thanks again for the good
time, Joe. Everyone really enjoyed the rides.
Bob
I want to sincerely thank you for providing the "Rocket
Ship Car" ®
for my wife's birthday celebration. She has been
talking about getting a ride in the car for the past
year and needless to say she was totally surprised when
you arrived and thoroughly enjoyed the ride especially
the music. She was still talking about it this
morning. She brought the post card you gave her to show
her colleagues at Beaumont. I kept kidding her that it
was the first time she has acknowledged that she was
turning 60. We also had many positive comments from the
other guests who said they had a ball taking the ride.
Many thought that the car would just be there to look at
and had no idea that they could actually go for a ride.
Again many thanks especially for taking the time on a
holiday.
In closing, as you say "Have An Amusing Day"
Bob
5/25/2009
Hey Joe,
Once again Thank You! Everyone thought the rocket ship
car was Awesome!!!
Good Luck,
M & L
JUST A QUICK NOTE: Friends are still talking about the joy
you, your wife and "the rocket ship car" brought into their
lives, the preschoolers attending All Saint's Episcopal and
numerous others who have seen the postcard I carry in my
purse to describe Ed's 87th birthday celebration. Thanks
for all of your help, thankfully the space ship departed and
returned safely and God provided gorgeous weather two weeks
ago.
I continue to distribute the extra postcards including a
Clearwater friend, formerly of Mentor, whose favorite Euclid
Beach ride was your "rocket ship". My physician partner,
who unfortunately, didn't get to the festivities is
thoroughly enjoying the extra Humphrey popcorn balls and
taffy kisses. I took a second bag full to him this week
despite his wife's protest about "too much sugar intake".
Lastly, one of the preschoolers was having a tantrum upon
arriving at preschool March 27th and his mother pleaded that
he stay for the special surprise... He is still raving about
his rocket ship ride experience and I gave his Mother a
rocket postcard for the boy's collection. The young girl
from his class having a birthday that same day, still
believes you personally came for her birthday surprise.
Hopefully, the woman who followed your rocket ship car into
the parking lot to request your presence for a party last
week was able to connect and make arrangements...
YOU GAVE US ALL AN AFTERNOON TO REMEMBER.... SEE YOU IN
OHIO. SAFE TRAVEL.
Hi Joe!
I just wanted to thank you again for the Rocket
Ship last night for my mother's 60th birthday. She had an
absolute blast, as we all did! What a great night for it
and it's a memory we won't easily forget. Thank you again
and we'll make sure to refer your services on to our friends
and family.
AP.
Joe,
Thank you so much for being with us in the parade! Your
Rocket Ship was a hit! We had a blast!!!!! As soon as I
find out the dates for next year I will contact you! If
you could mail me some of your cards I will put them on our
counter for our patients. I have been asked for them.
Thank you!
Amber

FYI
One of the
most frequently asked questions we receive is
"Does your
Rocket Car have a rocket engine in it"?
First of all our car is named after the ride that
operated at Euclid Beach Park®
from the mid 1930's until it closed in 1969.
The
ride was called the
"Rocket
Ships".
Our car is powered by a bored and stroked big block
Chevrolet gas engine. The cubic inch is 502, and
is producing around 500 horsepower. Because of the
weight of the car a large cubic inch engine is
needed to create enough torque to adequately move the
Rocket Ship Car®
down the highway. The car runs on regular pump
gas, usually 87 octane, (not rocket fuel) without a
problem. So technically our car is really not a
rocket car, but it is a car that looks like a Rocket
Ship!
