Playland's Castaway Cove, Theme park along Ocean City Boardwalk, United States.
Playland's Castaway Cove is a theme park on the Ocean City Boardwalk featuring more than 30 rides spread across its outdoor grounds, including roller coasters, water rides, bumper cars, and carnival games. The park is organized into different sections to accommodate visitors of all ages and thrill levels.
The park was established in 1959 as a seaside amusement destination and has attracted visitors for generations. A major expansion occurred in 2017 when a new high-speed roller coaster was added, significantly increasing the park's ride collection.
The park serves as a gathering spot where families and visitors enjoy classic carnival games and share the fun of riding attractions together. The place keeps alive the tradition of boardwalk amusement parks that have been central to summer entertainment in this region for generations.
Visitors can explore the park most effectively by moving gradually from one attraction to another and deciding ahead which rides are priorities. On warm days it helps to stay hydrated and seek shade during midday heat to remain comfortable.
One of the main attractions is a modern roller coaster that surprises riders with intense acceleration phases and multiple inversions. This ride was added recently and appeals to visitors seeking thrilling experiences.
