Step right up and get your tickets to take a ride on the Jolly Roger Ferris Wheel this summer! It's back in action and ready for everyone's enjoyment!

I'll never forget my first time riding the Jolly Roger Ferris Wheel! I was in middle school -- psyching myself up to face an 116-foot foe that had scared me for so long -- as I climbed into the swaying cart with my grandfather. I sat wringing my hands and waiting with bated breath for the ride to begin, but I was determined to see it through because my friends all said it was amazing! And they were right. As the Ferris wheel rolled higher and higher, I was struck by the beauty of it all. I could see the endless ocean, the crystal blue skyline, and the bustling people on the Boardwalk who had shrunk to the size of specks by the time we reached the top. I felt like I was on top of the world, and it was incredible!
I got off the ride, practically gliding on the air beneath my feet. It was like conquering a war campaign -- I had confronted one of my fears and walked away with an experience I'd never forget! Jolly Roger's Ferris Wheel definitely delivers its visitors an unforgettable memory! But in the past offseason for the typically busy Boardwalk, people were not seeing the giant ride on the horizon like before. This staple ride was dismantled for maintenance and redecoration, according to OceanCity.com. But it has returned just in time for the spring and summer season, so it can dazzle and excite future visitors and locals alike. So hurry, grab your tickets, and make some memories on the ride of a lifetime! Did you wonder why the Ferris wheel went missing? Have you ever ridden it before? If so, what is your favorite memory?
