Overview

Jolly Roger Amusement Park is an amusement park located in Ocean City, Maryland. The park features two locations in Ocean City: one at the pier on the Ocean City boardwalk and one further uptown at 30th Street. Both locations feature numerous thrill rides including a looping roller coaster at the pier, bumper cars, ferris wheel, a carousel, kiddie rides, among others. The parks also contain typical carnival-like games and eateries. The 30th Street location additionally features two eighteen-hole mini-golf courses, Splash Mountain, a full-service waterpark with many slides and activity pools, and 10 go-kart tracks.

In 1964 Charles "Buddy" Jenkins collaborated with golfer Arnold Palmer to open the park initially as the Arnold Palmer Putting Course and Driving Range on 30th Street. 10 rides were added the next year and the pier location was purchased by Jolly Roger in 1974.
