Jacob, I have going there since I was 12. I am 68 now. A lot has changed, but many things have stayed the same or almost the same. You missed the Atlantic Hotel, a carefully restored 1920's hotel that has been updated slowly, but has kept the restored look of the original building. It even still has the original dining room tables set up, but not used for many years. They finally put bathrooms in all the rooms by the 1980's. Before that it had shared bathrooms and some rooms used the shared bathroom on the hall. It was done the old hotel way. It was so charming. TVs didn't come in rooms until the 70's. Phones were run by the pull cord switchboard in the office but we're available from early in the hotel's history. It is still run by the original family from Baltimore. Great place. Been staying there since I was 14 in 1964.

Don't be fooled.The Original Boardwalk Elvis passed away earlier this year. He walked the boards as Elvis for 40 years. He didn't sing for tips! Enjoy the boardwalk, arcades, and Thrasher's French Fries! Memorial Day to Labor Day is the season for Ocean City. They even have a boardwalk tram that takes you from one end of the boards to the other.

@nicholastv5543 sup Jay? You going down de ocean hon?

So cool to see you tour the boardwalk I've been going to as a kid. I love Ocean City, Maryland and will go until I die. Btw, Ocean City hack: go to the more low key Thrashers on the other end of the boardwalk to avoid the line.

I was born in 1964 and all those rides especially those old cars that go round and round I remember riding in some of those when I was a child. Glad to see they’re still around and working.

Thasher French fries are the best fries put malt vinegar on them. I'm from Maryland went to O.C. every summer. To bad Jolly Rodger wasn't open, that was so much fun.

6:17 That pole is there because there used to be a dry Popeye-themed boat ride. It's one of the few classics they've removed.

The large indoor carousel is reportedly haunted in a nice way, one particular horse was supposedly the favorite of Mrs. Trimper and people say they sometimes get a whiff of her perfume

Thank you for capturing the spirit of Ocean City, Maryland!!! It brought back wonderful childhood memories for me and my daughter!!! Much love and respect!!!!

Man that makes me miss Ocean City.

Ocean City MD boardwalk in the summer time is the best people watching anywhere. Just have a seat and be entertained.

I love those old chalkware prizes. And those old rides and that ticket booth. Just beautiful.

Thanks jacob for the walk down memory lane Of my childhood.

Who remembers when they used to have the two haunted houses back in the 90s? The one on the boardwalk that still exists and the one by the roller coaster that smelled like burnt rubber? Ah, memories!!

I live in Maryland and have been vacationing in OCMD every year since I’ve been born. It’s crazy that everything is literally the same. For us in MD, we love it because it’s vacation but also home.

They have a true boardwalk and it's one of the best. Other places call theirs a boardwalk but it will be cement.

Ah man, Ocean City was where I spent my summers as a child. Getting serious nostalgia but so happy that you’re enjoying yourself! Gotta get back there myself one of these days!

Thanks for the memories, Have not been to OC Md since I moved across country 30 years ago. Hasn't changed much at all. Fun facts. Ocean City has only about 8,000 permanent residents, yet in the busy season is the states second largest city, behind only Baltimore in population. US route 50 starts in Ocean City and ends in Sacramento Ca. One of the best ways to drive across country.

Ohhhh noooo you drowned poor Teddy :'( lmao. That was actually a really cool place, very reminiscent of I guess the 40's, 50's and possibly 60's era's. Either way it was so nice to see the amusements of a bygone era saved from the amusements graveyard. A really good video, thank you Jacob. x

I go once in a great while but just don't get that it's the "end all be all" of destinations for so many people.

I remember those old time carnival rides when i was a small child.....Classic!!!

it is amazing to see that at jolly rogers on the pier, every single ride is stripped down for the winter, and then rebuilt in late spring you would never know that one of those is that incredibly beautiful merry go round

Thanks for the walk down memory lane! I used to go to Ocean City with my parents every year for vacation back in the 70s. We loved it there but for some reason after 78, we never went back and have not been there since. It's amazing that it really hasn't changed very much there on the boardwalk! Thanks again for posting!

I live about 4-5 hours away from Ocean city Maryland and I go every year there in the summer

I worked at Trimper's and Marty's Playland the summer of 1995. Ate at the Inlet Inn, slept at the motel above the arcade. What a fun summer having a key to the arcade! When I saw the games it brought back so many memories, my spiel "Beat the heat, get off the street, rest your feet and play Roooll a Balll!" Went to OC every year. Had a crazy senior week there. I remember tennisball tank battles. Thrashers. (Lots of parties and bars.) And Go Karts at Jolly Rodger. Jet Skiing on the bay. Pier Rides. Went to high school with Chris Trimper, what a good guy, he passed recently. Ive not been back to OC for over 20 years, thanks for the trip down memory lane!

Classic car show this weekend

Those “ trash eating animal” trash cans were popular in the 1940’s and 1950’s amusement parks as were animal water fountains -a-Pittsburgh’s Kennywood P ark also has them!

5:02 This mouse used to be on their Wild Mouse roller coaster. Do a search for "Schiff Wild Mouse" and you'll see one.

I live 50 minutes away from Ocean City and I love going every Summer.

Hahaha the best part of this visit was your tragic but well intended misunderstanding of poor Teddy’s predicament! You apologized to the family though, that’s about all you can do at that point! Great view of a place I never thought would interest me, Jacob, so thank you for that.

That was awesome! I'm guessing on a separate Ripley's and Haunted House video. One of the best dark rides anywhere!

Was just in Ocean City in June...loved all the old boardwalk attractions!

Hooray!! I’m so glad you got to visit Ocean City.

I went there growing up! Love that carousel! ❤️

We love OCMD! We used to spend a week there in the summer when my kids were little. Great memories.

This is our vacation destination several times a year, after Labor Day the crowds die and the attractions go to off season hours and staff. Be sure to go back during peak!

Hi Jacob wow this boardwalk has many cool rides and interesting fun places to see👍🏻😸

Doing a Happy Dance right now! I'm so glad you went to OC.. You went at a good time without all the summer crowds. It does get crazy in season. You could sit for hours just people watching, lol. Trimpers amusements is awesome for keeping the vintage rides alive. Can't wait to see what you show us next. I know you are in no way passing up Ripley's or the Haunted House. Hope you get a chance to do some research on the Haunted House. It is a true vintage dark ride opened in 1964, designed by legendary Bill Tracy of Dark Ride history. Thanks as always!

You might want to wait until next June before you visit any more Midwest outdoor attractions, they won't be fully operational again until Memorial day. That old School Carousel was gorgeous!

This is my childhood! I love this place! thank you for going.

I love Ocean City, MD. Thanks for the awesome video!

That video was amazing, so many things. That is one of my favorites, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who loves these things.

use to vacation with my family in ocean city 30 plus years ago thanks for the memories

I love how much play my town is getting on KZread

Whoa this place is so amazing and that museum was honestly really cool to show all the old carney/boardwalk history!

I have been going for 30 years and I love it. I want to live here. Yes, it is worth standing in line for Thrashers fries.

omg how i like jakob, just doing his own thing and having fun. You help me experience life in a good way and to have fun love from sweden

Was just there and I love and know everything in this video one of the best vacations with my friends ever.

This brings back memories. The snoopy ride was the last ride rode before my grandpa died. He took us to Ocean City every summer.

It's so weird to see you standing in spots I've stood in multiple or dozens of times my family goes to assateague island and we visit the boardwalk frequently. Loved the video!

Yay! I live in OC! I love your videos and was wondering if you've ever been here, thank you for promoting our little town. Maybe one day you can come back and see the new additions and ride the rides!

I used to work at Sportland Arcade, then I went on to work at FinCity. When I worked at Sportland we used to trade video games for Thrasher's french fries. By the end of the summer I couldn't stand looking at those fries anymore. That's awesome that your video opened up with that in the background.

i love that place, i went there a few times, they did some great sand castles on the beach, great video,

My daughter went there for vacation. Neat place. The hotel they stayed in had a live cam and we could check in on occasion. Keep Safe ❤Keep Well ❤ Neat postcard

Thanks so much for the nostalgia! The Navy sent me to California so I haven't been to Ocean City since '85! Nobody makes fries like Thrasher's! But you missed the salt water taffy and soft shelled crab samdwiches! ❤

Ahhhhh, I spent every summer there at our condo ......from a baby until I was 23 years old.....ahhhhh the memories and thrashers fries were the best.....before I stopped eating meat, the place to go was Bull On The Beach for the ‘best” roast beef samiches. The haunted house has been the same for as long as I can remember. My son now goes there with his friends lol....thanks Jacob for highlighting Ocean City MD.....You should check out Ocean City, NJ next

I love these attractions! More fun for everyone! America is a beautiful place.

An amazing place to be sure. Love it! Wow.

I could spend every weekend in a place like that. Well, as a kid anyway :) !!!!! Wouldn't mind a weekend as an adult either! Looks like such fun !!!!!

I feel like this park has shaped my childhood in ways. The Haunted House, Pirates Cove and the now sadly gone Aladdin's Lamp Fun House were my favorite childhood experiences on our annual summer vacations in OC

That written message after Teddy’s “rescue” literally made me lol! 😁

All those different sands from different places are cool👍🏼

I love old parks like this

Great Music. International Coco Nuts must be accompanied with a non wood cert, and Hazmat declaration. My life in Logistics. Thumbs up CB........

It's so weird seeing you at places I've been going to since I was a little kid❤

I'm from Maryland and a trip to OC is not complete without Thrashers fries, Dolly's popcorn, a funnel cake, fried chicken, and a trip to Souvenir City. Been coming here every summer since I could remember

I love Ocean City! I'll be there next week, sorry I won't get to see you!

They don't called it Ocean Chitty for nothin! Very nice video of some classic rides. Nice to see them preserved & running.

I love those boardwalk amusement parks. My favorite one was on the Santa Cruz beachfront.

i work in ocean city and the absolute best times to beat the crowds is anytime after labor day!! the crowds decrease exponentially and everything is usually still open on the weekends:)

My family has been going to Ocean City for decades. We always enjoy going on the boardwalk.

wow this is so nice to see from you!! i have a house nearby in South Bethany so i have been going to OC for as long as i can remember. seeing you make a video about it makes me so happy! my family and i always say it's real trashy but we mean it affectionately haha it was nice seeing you go into the little rides area for the kids, i haven't been in there in ages wow. looks just as weird as i remember! keep up the good work!

Used to love this place as a yoot, late 70's, early 80's.

I lived in Ocean City Maryland for 17 years, and many of my teen years were spent skateboarding, going to Chat Street, Walking the boardwalk with an acoustic guitar, playing in Funland and sports land, just great memories

If you like going back in time, I suggest you do a trip to Smith Island. Its about an hour south of Ocean City, its an island located on the Chesapeake Bay. You can get there by boat only, and many of the people there still speak whats called old English. Its like going back in time, and between that and the town of Crisfield that you go to to take the ferry over, its a very good taste of Eastern Shore Delmarva culture.....

The coconut is a great idea! I live in a van so it would not have a place here, but good luck to those that want it! ✌🐧

This was a very special episode for me! I’m definitely going to visit there in peak season. I’m also going to upgrade my donation on Patreon because, well, I NEED a coconut postcard!

Great video , a great place to vist

I go here every summer, winter, and spring it’s super fun

yay! my Home city! you should check out the Dentzel carousel at glen echo Park in bethesda MD, Glen Echo Park’s historic 1921 Dentzel Carousel opens for the 2019 season with the Carousel Day celebration on April 28, it was Installed at Glen Echo Park in 1921, the canopy and the carved figures were made by the Dentzel Carousel Company of Germantown, Pennsylvania. It is a classic example of hand woodcarving popular during the early 1900s. From 1983 through 2003, the carousel was fully restored - including each animal. The carousel is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. little bit of history for you and your viewers!

Awesome! Love your videos!

Been there once I really enjoyed it. Wish I could go back some day.

Wow, that looks cool. I didn't know there was that many different kinds of sand. Someone should do a collection of dirt around the world too.

Awesome video Carpetbagger any idea on when you possibly would be going back to Ocean City I use to go all the time when i was a kid that was until I moved to Sevierville but enjoyed all your video's of Ocean city.

like your videos man! just giving you a middle finger though because I wish I was able to visit places that much. safe travels man

I would absolutely LOVE to go to a place like this!

Hey jacob, check out seashell city down in fenwick. Your not to far away from it, and it has a cool museum built inside of it.

I'm going to love this vlog .
