Very disappointed! We have been visiting the Ocean City boardwalk for generations and we always spend an evening at the Wonderland Pier; however this year we were so disappointed by the changes! They have implemented an electronic ticket system ("tickets" are loaded onto a card which is swiped at the entrance to each ride) which is HORRIBLE! Not only does the swiping of the card take MUCH longer than handing over tickets - when it works and we encountered a number of instances where multiple swipes were required before the card would read - but having tickets on a card makes it impossible for a group to split up. While the young children were waiting to ride smaller rides the older children had to stand around rather than being able to take a few tickets and go on their own ride.

Also, many of the rides were closed which was not made obvious until after we had purchased our tickets.

Overall I was VERY disappointed in the decline that has occurred at this park and will not be visiting again in future. For real family fun head to Playland's Castaway Cover on 10th ST!
