Located at the heart of America's oldest single-family run amusement park, the award winning Haunted House has been thrilling guests for over 50 years. Trimper's famous dark ride a five-minute journey through optical illusions, other-worldly sensations and scenes of horror served with a pinch of humor.
This boardwalk icon was designed by award winning amusement art Bill Tracy and constructed by Granville Trimper in 1964. During the winter of 1988, Granville reimagined the ride-- adding a second story using track and stunts from a closed Tracy attraction -- making it one of the longest dark rides in the industry. Like the town it calls home, the ride has seen many changes over the years. Stunts have come and gone, replaced by the latest in scare effects to keep the ride fresh and exciting without losing it's signature style. As write/filmmaker John Waters says "It is worth a visit to this town just to go on it."

What a family fun little ride for a Halloween event on the boardwalk. Who knew this was around since the 60s and it still holds its edge for kids. The pop outs and the flashing lights make you wonder what comes next while riding in a tram car. It was short but sweet and something to do if your at the boardwalk in Ocean City, Maryland!

A gothic must. The ride is fun. Staff does a good spooky job. The ride is a little rough if you neck or back issues. Great nostalgic activity.

This is my favorite thing to do on the boardwalk. Every trip to OCMD involves a stop here for a little spooky fun. They do a great job with all of the props and the ride itself is pretty long. You also can't complain about the price, still one of the cheapest and most fun things to do!
