The Myrtle Beach Pavilion Amusement Park
The Myrtle Beach Pavilion, located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. These photos were taken the day the park closed permanently in 2006 after well over 50 years of operation. A handful of the rides are now at the Pavilion Nostalgia Park at Broadway at the Beach. For generations of fun-seekers, The Pavilion, and the arcades, gift shops, food joints, and other funky, honky-tonk establishments that surround it have also defined Myrtle Beach. The highlight is The Hurricane, a CCI-built wood coaster that straddles one side of The Pavilion. Other signature attractions include the Haunted Hotel, a wonderful, traditional dark ride that incorporates Disney-style illusions, Treasure Hunt, an interactive dark ride in which passengers rack up points by shooting Pirate Booty targets, and the Hydro-Surge river raft ride. The park also offers some wild thrill rides like a Top Spin and Enterprise, as well as a stunning 1912 Herschell-Spillman carousel and a decent collection of kiddie rides.
