Jolly Roger Amusement Park — Attraction in Ocean City

Jolly Roger Amusement Park in Ocean City Maryland. The park is located off the boardwalk from the beach. This park has over 15 amusement park rides (Not including the Jolly Roger park from the boardwalk) and a water park. Prices can range from $10.00-$80.00 depending on if you are buying individual tickets for the rides or a wristband for all the rides. They do I have combo passes for the water park and Speedworld together. They also have a Go-Kart place called Speedworld. Many go-karts tracks and a new zipline is at Speedworld which is right next door. This location is on 30th street in ocean city Maryland.

We did not do the water park or Speedworld. This is just for the amusement park on 30th street.

As soon you drive up to the park. You see a bunch of rides and mini golf courses with go-karts and a water park. There is so much to do. There is parking in front and more towards the back. The parking lot is only one way so you shouldn’t have a problem following the signs to the back if you can’t park in the front. Parking is free for guest. As you walk towards the park, you see a big entrance with pirate theme. You have customer service building and a some ticket booths. You go up to the ticket booth and get your tickets or wristbands. You walk to the left and you see many rides, carnival games and food places. There is a couple more rides in the back which is the Ferris Wheel and the roller coasters. They have three roller coasters. Wacky Worm, The Barracuda, and WildCat. Wacky Worm is more for kids and the other two roller coasters is more for adults/family. We only rode the wildcat coaster and Barracude. Which is all the way in the back of the park. The wildcat stands pretty tall and can be seen through the whole park. It’s a ok park but not the best.

The park was clean and didn’t even seem a piece of trash on the floor. The bathrooms was cleaned during our visit. They do make sure that the park is clean and nice for their guests. We do go on a weekday which wasn’t really too busy.

We did try the food. We got the bacon hotdog. It was ok, nothing really to special. To me, it was more like something you would make at home but it was still good.

The staff was so nice and friendly. They even had a smile on their face. They welcoming guest to Jolly Roger park and that is amazing to see. I do feel like the ride operators should be more engaging though. They are the key and butter of the park. They didn’t seem like it but hey, That’s just the atmosphere of the rides apartment.

To me, the park seem more like a kids/family park. There isn’t enough thrill rides for thrill seekers or adults. They have wildcat and Barracude but those seem more like family coasters as well. I just feel like the park need more thrill rides. I understand that they are kinda old school park and landlocked but it just didn’t seem fun to me like other parks or like Trimper park which is only a couple streets down from Jolly Roger Park. They have more modern and more thrilling rides for the whole family and have more of a selection for everyone and not just a family selection. I would recommend adding more rides if they can to help more options for the whole family to play and enjoy the park even more. It just feels more like the park is there and not invested into like other parks but that’s just my opinion.

Do we recommend Jolly Roger Amusement Park on 30th street. Yes and no if that make sense. Yes because if you have a family and kids ages between 3-12 then yes because kids would love this park as there is many things to do for them but anyone older than that I wouldn’t recommend. Definitely if you are a couple like we was. It just kinda was boring and we didn’t feel the excitement like you would in any other amusement park that you should during your visit. We recommend for older crowds to go to Trimper park down the road or even the boardwalk Jolly Roger Park, since there is more thrilling rides than this one on the 30th street. We also going on a weekend if you do decide to go because weekends are probably...

DO NOT GO TO THIS (GO KARTS) We went here for our one year anniversary in order to celebrate. After 60$ (which i’m not surprised or upset with the price as the rides were somewhat worth it if they worked properly) only to be treated so rudely. We rode the cyclone first which was fun and we waited in the grand prix line which was long but i wasn’t sure if it was the correct ride not knowing the name of it. So i tried asking a worker where he looked at me and completely ignored me which was extremely rude but when we finally got to formula one (which was so confusing due to the layout of the park) waiting in line there was 5 cars. When it was our turn there was only two functioning cars left a single and two person rider we finished the ride and it was fun. When we realized behind us was a (what is now know as a poorly advertised monster truck ride not knowing we weren’t going to be able to drive it) monster truck we walked up to the counter where the lady took our cards and before we could ask what it was she swiped them. We asked her if we’d be able to drive it and she stated that you only ride it you don’t get to drive it. We were upset bc a ride was wasted on something we didn’t even go on so we asked them if they could put the token back on the card where they said we’d have to go to the booth (which was fine). So we walk to the booth where were greeted very politely and told the young girl our situation and she said she’d have to call a manager over. Okay no problem. A few seconds later a 6’5 tall lady probably early 20s comes out and doesn’t say anything but takes our cards and puts them on there. She hands them back and says i put the token back on the card but we’re not supposed to do this so next time just so you know just because you don’t like something doesn’t mean you can just take it back. I was literally taken aback by the level of disrespect and rudeness that she spoke with so i made kind of a disgusted look on my face where she proceeded to tell me “i see your face but you gotta understand this isn’t us this is kinda jolly rogers next time you should of just asked” like she was justifying the way she just talked to me like i was a child. i told her that i did ask the women but she proceeded to swipe it anyways before we could even discuss it. I am 18 years old and the person i was with was 20 were a lot more mature for our age because we do live on our own so we know what the real world is like, we both work in customer service and know that is no way to talk to a paying customer no matter what age and if that’s how you speak to someone you should be working in customer service anyways. We left without using the extra token because she ruined the whole night and honestly I’d like a refund because quite frankly i don’t want a coupon or whatever because the experience was so terrible that i don’t ever want to go back. We tried calling that night after we left, 5 times and no one answered. we called the next day where we were helped by a really nice lady who said the manager was in the park which was 30 acres but when she’d see him she’d pass the information along She took our names and our phone numbers but still haven’t heard back....

I want to get right to the point so if anyone from Jolly Roger reads this, they can take note:.....IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO WEAR SHOES OF ANY KIND THEN YOU NEED TO CHOOSE A COLOR OTHER THAN DARK BLUE TO PAINT YOUR WALKWAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Of course I understand that having shoes on could result in damaging the tubes we sit on for the slides and may cause injury, but my son and I nearly singed the bottoms of our feet because in 90+ degree weather, DARK PAINT ABSORBS THE HEAT and makes it nearly...no not "nearly"....IMPOSSIBLE to walk on! We had to constantly find shadows of the railings to walk on, which were about 5 inches wide. There are other areas of the park that are painted with a lighter shade of blue and they REFLECT the heat and are bearable to walk on but the MAJORITY of the walkways and waiting line areas are this dark blue color that are incredibly hot!!!!! Don't any of the supervisors that work there realize that????? This is a SERIOUS HEALTH HAZARD and I can't believe nothing has been done about it yet. Now that that is out of my system, my son and I have been coming down for the past few years to Ocean City and our first stop, even before we check in to our hotel, is to go to the Jolly Roger Water Park. We come on the weekends at the end of June and we usually get there around 11am. We have never had an issue finding a lounge chair to put our belongings, there's never a long line to any of the slides, and we ride all the slides over and over again until we are too tired to do any more. Yes, most of the workers are from out of the country, and perhaps their manners don't match our culture's manners. They pretty much are robots as far as the park's policies go. If a slide says you have to be 100 pounds to ride and you are 99 pounds, they will tell you that you can't ride. You can't fault them for that. If the park rules say you can't wear sunglasses on the slide, then they will tell you that you can't wear sunglasses on the slide. For as much fun as we have there, I think $40 per person is pretty reasonable. Everything is clean there, there's no rowdiness, and the food is reasonably priced. However, be aware that some of the food and drink stands only take cash and there is not an ATM in the waterpark area. I hope my son and I have many years to continue coming to Jolly Roger Water Park, but there MUST BE SOMETHING DONE about the hot floors. Somebody is going to get serious blisters and the park is going to end up on...
