Oh no!  Thank goodness it's not that bad!

Playland's Castaway Cove on the Ocean City Boardwalk will take the next step toward rebuilding after a massive fire in January.

Though the arcade building and famous pirate ship were damaged, many of the rides were untouched in the fire.

Brian Hartley, vice president of Playland's Castaway Cove, told Action News earlier this month that patrons can expect about 20 rides to be operational when the park reopens.

"We have 32 total rides, and I would say for the opening weekend we'll probably have approximately 20. And hopefully Easter weekend, 22 to 23 rides," said Hartley.
