I REALLY hate to give this place a bad review- but I feel the need to. I've gone to Wonderland Pier since I was a kid, and even continued to visit every year. Now I am a father of two, and planned to have my kids enjoy the same fun I did as a child. I just visited this again this year, and the amount of tickets needed to ride the rides has been jacked up to the point, that I will not be going back. It is $6.00 per person to ride the ferris wheel- so for my family to ride ONE ride together it would be $24.00?! Unbelievable! They also jacked the price of the carousel from 1 ticket, to 3 tickets. The real kicker is that many rides require a child to be accompanied by a adult- and they have the nerve to charge you to accompany your child. So to ride a simple ride, it could be $8.00 to $10.00 average for my daughter to go on, since she MUST be accompanied by me. They also ruined some of the charm of the older rides, by painting over them. (the kiddie boats for example had names on them for 30+ years) We also had a incident on the caterpillar roller coaster, where the train slammed backwards violently on the hill. The chain to lift the coaster up the hill was not on when cart approached the hill. It then got switched on, and since the cart was already at a dead stop on the hill, everyone got jerked real hard from it, and two people got off because they hit their head. Well this was my last year for Wonderland. My family and I went to Playland (Castaway Cove) and feel like this is going to be our new place for rides in Ocean City. They charge less tickets per ride, and don't charge the parents to accompany their children. This makes it much more affordable, and I don't feel like I'm being robbed. From the looks of it, many people are discovering this is the place to go...they had much more of a crowd than Wonderland on the same night. Like I said I hate to give Wonderland a bad review, but they have gone downhill....
