Pirates Invade Maryland Amusement Park

LARGO, MARYLAND—A new 10-acre buccaneer theme village called Skull Island is part of a $14 million expansion at Adventure World, the 115-acre water and amusement park in Largo, Maryland between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore. Skull Island is designed to transport visitors back to the days of swashbuckling pirates and features the Typhoon Sea Coaster, a seven-story high water roller coaster.

Another addition is a 25-acre water play area at Crocodile Cal’s (as in the Baltimore Orioles baseball team’s Cal Ripken Jr.) Outback Beach House. The addition has a 24,000-square-foot tiered play structure with bubbling geysers, shower bursts, water cannons, and 150 water-powered play features, such as a 45-foot-long pirate ship.
