Travel Channel picked five iconic amusement parking in the United States with “enticing aquatic attractions” and our own Jolly Roger Splash Mountain was number four! They wrote, “This famous Ocean City, Maryland attraction first opened in 1964 as the Arnold Palmer Putting Course and Driving Range but soon expanded into a full-blown amusement park with rides, a go-cart track, a petting zoo and live entertainment. By the early 1970s,
Jolly Roger also became a major water park destination with the opening of Splash Mountain, which includes a dizzying array of water activities. Adults and older kids can experience extreme water slides like the Eye of the Hurricane, the Stealth and the Aqualoop (a 360 degree, semi-transparent waterslide). Small tots can enjoy the wave pool, the Splash Pad, the Kiddie Pirate Ship pool and the Rainforest playground.” Highlighting the history of the water park, and the newest addition of Splash Mountain, Travel Channel gave the Amusement Park on 30th St. the recognition it deserved!
