Jolly Rogers An Integral Part Of Ocean City’s Appeal

OCEAN CITY, Md. (WJZ) — Ocean City is an iconic destination, full of attractions new and old. Here’s a look back at how it transformed into one of the most popular beach resorts in the country.

Jolly Rogers is the place thrill-seekers go to indulge. Just a step off the sandy shore, you can reach breathtaking heights. The amusement park is an Ocean City landmark and, since opening in 1964, has grown dramatically.

“We are one of the iconic destinations here in town and we have a responsibility to the town and our guests to keep things nice, keep ’em clean, keep ’em fun,” said Jolly Rogers Director of Sales Dean Langrall.

Jolly Rogers started as a miniature golf course more than 50 years ago. Today, it offers a Ferris wheel, dozens of rides, games, go-karts and so much more. It expands to keep up with the number of visitors.

Boy oh Boy wouldn't City Hall love to have that property along with the 2 large mobile home areas on the island. Prime land acquisitions within 25 years!

I was shocked at the number of people hurt on these rides around the country. I would never ride anything in a traveling circus. I think Maryland is one of the states that actually REQUIRE yearly inspection of rides.
