Very busy place, but great things to do
We visited Splash Mountain while in OC. Wasn't too expensive to enter. This place is very crowded - I would recommend going when they first open to get a chair anywhere. Most people throw their towels on the chairs and then walk away, taking up every available space. We walked around for about 45 minutes before someone finally took pity on us and gave us one chair (there were 5 of us visiting). The slides and wave pool are very fun and my kids had a blast.

Spent the day at the waterpark
Family
The teens had a good time at the waterpark and go karts. Thought the grounds could have been a little cleaner so be sure to wear water shoes to avoid some of the bird poop. We got there at 10am as soon as it opened and stayed until about 3pm. Good day for the price. They did water park in the morning and their ticket gave them 2 hours at the go kart track. Loved the pool volleyball, it was something we could all do together when they needed a break from the rides. We didn’t do any of the dry rides there, it was way too hot that day.

Fun family park-just a little pricey
Family
We always enjoy a stop at Jolly Roger, our favorite being the Swings. Clean, enjoyable park.
Our only complaint is the few rides you get for the price. Instead of 6 points per ride, 1 point per ride would be more of a savings -3 rides x 2 people racks up points on the prepaid card very quickly!
All in all, fun times for all

Horrible weekend experience
Family
Disappointed in my recent visit. Not only was it overpopulated, Jolly Roger did not have enough tubes to accommodate the amount of people they let through the gates. I was there close to 2 hours before I was able to obtain two single tubes by kind individuals. I saw several people arguing with other park attendees hoarding the tubes. Just wow. The area that housed the tubes was filled with deflated tubes. People were actually trying to blow them up using their ‘breath’. At $44 per person you guys need to do better. The park was overfilled and unable to accommodate this large group of people. I don’t know how this facility runs on the weekdays but avoid it at all costs on the weekends.

Check to see what works before buying tickets or bands

Half the park was out of service. How can you charge full price and “unlimited” rides when half the rides were out of service? The answer is you CAN, but you SHOULDN’T. Disapponting. Avoid the one on the boardwalk and do the park attached to the water park.

Amusement Park???!! REALLY???
How can they call this an Amusement Park, right off the main drag through Ocean City??!! Since researching "things to do in Ocean City" online, I had started receiving email after email advertising this Amusement Park which I imagined to at least be on the same scale as Six Flags or something similar. NOT!! It seems more like a carnival that you might see in the parking lot of a shopping center occasionally or the County Fair, but under no circumstances would I call this an Amusement Park, which is just downright deceptive, in my opinion. So, if you've never been to Ocean City, don't expect this to be what it sounds like because it ain't!

DO NOT GO HERE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR KIDS OFFENDED
Family
My wife went here today with a friend and small children including my 8 year old son. They measured him and he was over 48 inches which is correct. After measuring him Aybree the staff member said even though he is tall enough by the measurement for a ride a ride operator may still not let him on a ride which requires him to be 48 inches tall. When my wife explained well he is 48 inches tall she was told it’s up to the right operator and he could still be denied admission to a ride. My wife said if this happens in my able to get a refund for my pass if I purchase it and she said no and too “get the F—- out of my face” I couldn’t spell out what was said on this forum. This was said in front of minor kids including my 8 year old. My wife asked for a supervisor at which time Harper came over and told her there’s nothing he could do about it since he didn’t hear it and he proceeded to stand around and laugh with other staff members while pointing at my wife about it. This is not the place you want your kids. Guess my money will be spent elsewhere in the future since this is how management handles things.

Good place
Small crowds make for a good experience here and not much wait time for each track. Ample parking. Attentive staff at the ticket office. Various tracks provide fun for all skill levels from a figure 8 track to a F1 experience requiring a driver's license. There was a small video games area that I did not spend time at. Cost is reasonable and most tracks had dual rider cars.

Bad for anyone that is 18 or older

Unless you are going with your children don't patronize this place, at least for the pier and 30th at locations. It is over priced unless you are buying the armband, which is only good for 4 hours. They raised the price while we were here and failed to update the price list on site as well as on the website. I spent 60 bucks and the two of us only rode 5 rides. Most rides are made for children from 36-48 inches in height. The haunted house left much to be desired offering no real jump scared at all.

Kid employees don’t pay attention
Kids running slides are not trained

The girl managing the green slide wasn’t paying attention to the riders going down and let a rider go down right behind me and my son. The result was me getting kicked in the face because I hadn’t cleared the slide. Ended up with multiple bruises and a cut tongue and sprained jaw.

Lifeguards we’re not helpful and first aid station attendees are not trained for injuries. They couldn’t even give me water to rinse my mouth out. Management wouldn’t do much either.

What was supposed to be a fun outing ended up being a trip to the hospital

Will not return
