Vacant or filled.......there will never be another Pavilion. This was the historic heart of Myrtle Beach. Ground Zero for fun! You always have to have some idiots destroy something that's wonderful and unique. The beach will never be the same.

My childhood is gone forever

This is terribly sad:( I came here 3 yrs in a row for spring break in high school. Was heading back for my 10 yr anniversary with the hubs. Not now:( The Pavilion wasn't just an amusement park, it was a memories of a place in time with joy and laughter...and u shared that same memory with a million different people. I feel so sad for those who never got to experience this nostalgia:(

My late wife and I visited MB numerous times before the needless destruction of the Pavilion ...It is to my eternal sadness that she and I did not visit the Pavilion one more time as a married couple. ...BTW ..We were both children of 50's / 60's Beach music, and I miss it so much.

I have many memories of having fun in this area. This is hard to watch. So sad.

It’s like a cemetery where fun is buried... the saddest thing to visit at MB now is the place where the Pavilion used to be...

Yes, this makes me sad as i watch this place just sit and rot. I loved that place as a kid and i will truly miss it forever. All those fun rides that i use to enjoy will be gone forever.

Some still operate at Broadway at the Beach like the carousel and some flat rides but the larger rides like the haunted hotel, log flume, roller coasters were scrapped.

I am so angry with Myrtle Beach for getting rid of this ICON. I pray someday that someone will invest in bringing it back, EXACTLY the way it was. So freaking sad.

That was part of my childhood now it's gone forever

I believe that it was done to force people into spending their money at Barefoot Landing, Broadway at the Beach and various other shopping monstrosities. So sad!!!!!

I love Myrtle Beach though it's in major need of a major revamping along this area.

I miss the Pavilion!!!!

So many beautiful memories!just gone.i wish someone could build it back just like it was.id love to see it one more time.

The city of MB needs to lease the Old Pavilion park area to another amusement group. More people would enjoy what once was the greatest family oriented location in MB. I hate the open zip line area. Downtown would come alive again.

went to MB last year (2015) and I thought I was in a different city. So sad to see a nasty looking zip line where so much life has happened. Remember people that B and C own MB and no one tells them no. RIP.

Sounds like the place is gone due to greed... The owners of B and C will eventually suffer for their greediness

I never got to go here, sadly. M.B. closed this to build Hard Rock Park, and now look where that has gone!!! 400 million in debt, and ANOTHER empty space. Too bad, (The Led Zepplin was an awsome coaster ). If I were super rich I would personnally try to bring the Pavillion Park back myself!!!!!

Amen! I wish bad things upon the "people" who thought it a good idea to destroy this place because they committed a crime in my book. There is much to be said for tradition! ...it brings families back year after year. example...Knoebels in Elysburg, Pa. if you love the old stuff as I do you need to visit at least once. You will go back again and again!

i remeber when i went to myrtle beach while they were tearing it down.... i was mad bcuz thats one of the reasons i went to myrtle beach

I think there are people in this society who absolutely hate it, When people are enjoying themselves. They are a bunch of miserable people who want everyone else to be miserable just like them.

So so sad for NOTHING!!!!! Myrtle Beach was the pavilion and the amusement park!!!!! This makes me not only sad but mad!!!!!

I was born in 1974. My family went to Myrtle Beach on vacation in the late 70s up until 1988. The Pavilion was part of our vacation every year back then. I visited Myrtle Beach as as adult in 2000. The Pavilion was already not in operation at that point. I looked for it and was sorry to see it was gone and Hard Rock Park was there which seemed rather empty, and there was an enclosed gate and a $50 admittance price, instead of 'free range" and a ticket booth. So many of us feel the Pavillion should be rebuilt as closely as possible to its original design. That would please everyone and correct their wrong doing.

Can't understand why it wasn't protected under some sort of historical clause?? But, too late now.

Kyle Holmes That means nothing in MB. They have done this to several places on the National Historic Registry. One example was the Chesterfield Inn. They tore it down to build a putt putt which was just torn down.

I love the title. Enough said

Completely pointless! Totally hate that they destroyed the pavilion, currently they have added a zip line to the lot, wow what fun totally compares, not!!!!!!

I think there was a plan proposed to do this a few years ago, and residents rejected it. Classic selfish modern day idiots, too worried about things like how the noise will impact their property value. Excellent example of why this country is on a downward slope

Two years…….now it’s been 17. Was last there in ‘05 when it was still Myrtle Beach. Doubt I’ll ever go back.

W H Y!?!? I spent every summer of my childhood with my family at MB. My only question is WHY? The Pavilion and the “rides” (amusement park) WERE Myrtle Beach.🤬😡😤

This just shows you how stupid the people responsible for tearing this down really are I don't go their anymore it's just not fun anymore screw the Pavilion Nostalgia park NOT THE SAME NEVER WILL BE

Why don't they build a new and improved pavilion??

They did, it is at Broadway at the Beach but has fewer rides than the old park did. There is also a park a few miles north called OD Pavilion with carnival rides but not related to "the" Pavilion. There is also Family Kingdom several blocks south of downtown. I was never to MB.

They really made a mistake by tearing the Pavilion down...oh and their idea of bring a new theme park called Hard Rock Park to the area well you see they didn't stay open past their first season!

Matt Julian it was never built

They have since installed some zip line thing and some grass and benches etc , but I don't really understand how that could generate near as much revenue as the amusement park, Maybe it was in such maintenance despair, equipment, etc that the maintenance cost was running over the revenue or something Would be interesting just to know how it when out and why

14 years later and there's just some lame zipline attraction built, which can be found in just about every major city. Seems to me the plan of the company was to sabotage this beautiful beachfront area in order to drive more people to their broadway location, as they were essentially competing with themselves. All nostalgia goes completely put the window when it comes down to a company trying to profit every single penny possible

Greed. I don't know the issue now, but back around 2008 the property owners were wanting $30K/month to lease. No one was willing to take that on.

Lots of crime now down there

Thank you J

You should see Miracle Strip Amusement Park in Panama City Beach...same scenario.

sad very sad this place meant so much to so many me included

It's still vacant..I just left myrtle beach yesterday.Sad

The same nothingness exists today. I mean, I guess zip lining counts as something. But I've never seen more than a dozen people there at a time.

I hope the idiots that tore it down realize they just screwed up mb permently noone wants to go there anymore they have hurt thr businesses as well. Nobody will be going there to spend any money any more

This empty lot is an ugly spot in Downtown Myrtle Beach. So much promise that never came true. It should have been left alone.

and let me add it has caused nothing but crime in the area as bad as shootings.the cops rather hang out at the motels trying to arrest the female escorts all night instead of patrolling the streets being seen by drug dealers and other sorts which would make them go somwhere else.

Because they hate things that are awesome?

What a sin. The people responsible should be hung out to dry.

😢

The worst they could have done, tiring it down.

Redevelopment doesnt happen over night. 2008 saw a crash in the economy akin to 1929. o og was doing anything for a couple of years .I'd rather see a well planned redevelopment. Then hastey poorly planned rebuilding. Those types of parks were falling out of favor for decades. Be grateful you have good memories. To those that say needless destruction of these places happens, well where is your investment money? Were you the one losing money? I like the open space they have along the beach. It doesnt need to be a wall of condo balconies.

I'm not even sad no more, this makes me mad....👿👿It's waste of money ppl could be making in the meantime what they thought was going to be a huge great best than ever event sitting empty also more money down the drain...💸💸💸Stupid selfish 😡🙄🤦 ppl......

After these changes Myrtle Beach has sucked and always will.

The Pavilion in my opinion was close due to the change of the people that are going to Ocean Blvd now. It has changed from mostly white people to mostly black or mixed culture. The people that owned the property are of the old school like me and they saw it coming. Blacks have taken over Ocean blvd and they come there acting like a bunch of idiots. They are vulgar, their filthy mouths get into gear, they dress half naked. I was their this past weekend 5.18.2017 and what I saw I would never allow my teenage daughter to go there. When I was young, it was a cool place to be but now, the black gangs, their drugs and their vulgar behavior has changed this place. What a shame. They come down there on Memorial weekend to show their true colors and try their best to destroy the place. I took my wife out to Captian Georges restaurant Saturday evening and sitting next to me was a herd of blacks. The daddy, I guess he was the daddy, made so much noise with his low IQ mouth that I almost got up and left. This is the culture that is happing to Myrtle beach and that is why the owners of the Pavilion complex decided this was enough and took it down. Young while trash handing onto their black drug dealers. Myrtle beach as we knew it is done.

Jerry Hubbard I just noticed that the Ocean Drive Pavillion has been revamped this year! I am 31 and growing up we vacationed every year on S. Ocean Blvd of MB but now it's like a totally different world. My husband, my Son & I stay at Ocean Bay Club in NMB every year as to not deal with all the trash going on towards the south end. I hate that it has become that especially for all you locals. I am happy that they have redone the OD Pavillion though because it was extremely outdated and needed to be redone!

Same thing happened to Dorney Park near me. Ever since Cedar Fair bought it and built those large steel coasters like Steel Force and Talon, the blacks and rude people have taken it over. Do NOT go there on a summer weekend or holiday. Too crowded, and too many thug type people. Maybe it's because we're close to heavy black populations like Philly, NJ, and NY.

there whole way of thinking is to destroy what a white man created. They know white people in general will not stay around them when they have a large crowd. They have NO class or upbringing.
