- I was lucky enough to get a visit to Myrtle Beach the final year, just a few weeks before they closed, to ride their excellent Haunted Hotel. Here are two different ride throughs. The second one uses the camera light some so you can see a lot more. They both catch some different stunts.
I remember this like it was yesterday. Dumbest thing Myrtle Beach ever done was getting rid of The Pavilion. Now it's just an empty grassy field but I still see The Pavilion when I ride by.
T Moody I agree completely what a mess they created with getting rid of the Pavilion.
Unfortunately private businesses reserve the right to close their business if they want. In this case it wasn’t a complete loss, some of the rides live on at the new Pavilion Park. But the larger rides like the log flume, hurricane, and haunted hotel were lost.
I haven't been to pavilion park but I can't imagine it being the same atmosphere as before.
@@robkrasinski6217 Key word you said "lost"..... that is the word that sums it all up in every sense of the word.
It always sucks when a longtime amusement park closes. And a classic dark ride as well. And the pirate gun one that moved from
Broadway at the Beach. What ever happened to that? Treasure Hunt. In July 2006 we went up to Ontario, Canada and to the haunted attractions at Niagara Falls. That was the last year of the Pavilion. But, MB is about 600 miles south of us. We have gone to closer beach towns with amusement parks/piers like Wildwood, NJ and Ocean City, MD. I never went to Myrtle Beach but my late grandmother (my mom’s mom) went there around 1991. She passed away from melanoma January 2006. Her husband from colon cancer Dec 2000. Does anyone remember Leonard Pickel’s Mayhem Manor walk through haunted house that was on the block north of the Pavilion in the 90’s? They have Nightmare Haunted House, Ripley’s Haunted Adventure, and an alien one now though. And Family Kingdom park is still there.
Summers at the pavilion were magical
My childhood. Thank you. Never thought I'd see this again. Part of me wants to cry.
More like makes me wants to die!
Wow, this is such a wonderful memory. This was my favorite ride at The Pavilion. I still can't believe The Pavilion is gone. I was only 5 years old when I rode this for the first time, and I LOVED it! Begged my mom to go back the next day and ride it again with me since my dad took me the first time. I love Myrtle Beach and miss The Pavilion so much.
man i remember this. i was such a little horror nerd, i loved every second of this ride
One of the best dark rides I've seen.
I was thinking the same thing, this ride is very well made.
So great seeing this I was little and so scared to ride this then one trip my cousins boyfriend convinced me to ride and he told me he’d ride with me and that nothing would happen and so I did then halfway through the ride I can’t exactly remember where but it broke down and I was terrified but it was hilarious now looking back on it
Same lol
My sister used to go in here with my dad whenever we visited; I was always too scared to. Thanks for preserving this for people who will never get to see it.
I’m so disappointed to hear that the pavilion, and more specifically this ride, are no longer in existence. I used to ride this ride over and over and over. I once met a girl at the pavilion and she and I rode it so many times together and she would hold my hand and scream and cuddle up on me. I felt pretty awesome as a 14 yr old. Rest in peace haunted hotel.
I'm sure many a romance started in this ride.
I only went on this ride one time even though I'd been to the Pavilion every year of my life from birth to the time I was 16. I never went through it with my eyes open, though! So it's nice to see what I missed. :D
the original haunt was cheesy, but just being in the dark was enough to scare me. the updated version (this video) was well made and got a few jump scares out of me.
This was my favorite ride, thanks for posting this. Man I miss this place and those days.
Just came across this after telling someone about the Pavilion. I was always petrified to go in when I was a kid because the man out front on the balcony scared me. Glad I can finally see the inside over a decade later! Thanks!
I remember going in it and the times I did, It had a musky smell to it. I guess that's what added to the thrill factor, that smell it had once you entered the double doors at first. I remember up on the balcony just before you got to the bookcase, there'd be a wheel chair that would appear to be rolling itself up there. Each time / summer I went thru it, It did freak me out. lol I never went thru it when it was Haunted Inn, just Haunted Hotel, though, I've got it on an old late 80's VHS tape when it was Inn before they changed it to Hotel.
I never even knew it was called the Haunted Inn. Cool info
001GenLee you have a VHS tape of the haunted inn??? I would LOVE to see it if at all possible to upload it!!!
Post it on RUclips please!!! I would love to this rare classic dark ride!
I would give ANYTHING to see that footage! You can't even find pictures of the witch on the balcony that came between the Inn and the Hotel with the bellhop. I remember living in fear of this ride after my first experience when I was very small. By the time I rode it again, it was different. So your video could very well answer some lifelong questions for me!
Grabbing more time my friend! Watching, Liking, Commenting, and Supporting!
Thanks to you I can show my kid a ride he'll never get the chance to experience. I've been to the biggest and best theme parks, but none of them touch the love I have and will always have for the Myrtle Beach Pavillion. It was the first park I went to that had bigger rides as a kid, and though I was too small for those on that first trip, seeing them in action that night, the park around lit up like a Christmas tree, awoke a wonder in me that nothing else has ever touched. All I ever wanted was to share this place with my kid, but he and I were robbed of that chance due to sheer stupidity. The videos don't do this place justice. Nothing will ever capture the feeling of actually being there, the atmosphere more than anything else. It was a truly special place, and it's a travesty that they got rid of it.
Wow. I’ll never forget riding this a hundred times in the 90’s. This almost made me cry. I can still smell it when I watch lol. Thanks for posting.
FANTASTIC! Our family just got back from a weeklong vacation in North Myrtle Beach on July 30th! I’m 52 and have gone to North Myrtle Beach/Myrtle Beach all my life! And these rides were always a favorite part of my vacation every year! When my girls were 6 and 11 that was the last year it was open and I made sure to take my girls on this ride!! Thanks for the upload!!🎡🎢🏖♥️
Such great memories!! I remember being there when I was just 4 years old 😭😭
Thanks for the memories I used to love this ride! Rode it over and over ! Sometimes they would let us stay on if there was no line !
Man this video brought back so many memories thank u
Oh god, I went on this ride many many times as a kid, I vividly remember working up the courage to enter as I gazed in horror at the creepy animatronic bellboy on the balcony. I miss the pavilion.
I rode this when I was 8, scared to death. RIP pavilion and this ride cause it was destroyed with the park
This was my FAVORITE as a kid. Miss it
Just unlocked a childhood memory 😢
1:38 Big brother says Watch out! Watch out! While you’re in, you’ll never get out!
My grandmother is the lady taking tickets in this video. So many memories. I miss her so much!
I remember going here all the time as a kid when tickets were like 59¢ and being SO SCARED to walk past this ride. I HATED that his entire head would come off with his hat, I'd cry and grab onto people, what a sissy haha. I finally got to ride it with my sister, but I closed my eyes the entire ride. So thank you for posting this video! Needless to say, I'm a total horror nerd now. 😅
I bet it was 1995 or 1996 but I remember writing this thing and me and my family made a home video of it as well I wish I knew where that tape was. I don't know why I never forgot about this thing but I never did. This day and I am a horror movie enthusiast so I wonder if this had anything to do with that. I don't have any memory of it other than the animatronic itself when I was physically at the attraction, and our home video of it. Don't remember riding the right itself but something about it is always stayed with me. Thanks for posting this
Thanks for the upload!
I rode it almost numerous times and boy I’d cover my ears to not get scared or have a stroke! Some Jack-in-a-box music I heard sounded scary! This was back in the older times for me!
Loved The Pavilion and especially The Haunted Hotel. I’ll never understand why they got rid of this place. My family went every summer and we always went to The Pavilion. There was never a time we went when the place wasn’t packed with people. MB just isn’t the same without it.
Nice to see this again. Lot's of good memories here from growing up! Shame Burroughs & Chapin tore all this down. Now all we've got is a zipline... 😐
This was my favorite ride as a little boy last time I went in was like 2004/5
This thing use to be so scary to me. Glad I got to experience this when I was little
I remember going on these when I was a kid
This ride was great
I heard every room has *SCARE* Conditioning
The whole park is gone.
Sad but true
I miss this attraction
and That The Reason The Bellhop Becomes a Ghost Blasters Mascot.
I remember this, good 😀memories.
This ride gave me genuine horror as a kid. Ridden it multiple times but the furthest I got before closing my eyes is at 2:30.
Why is there a distorted Jack in the box tune in this ride?
In the hallway with the bed and creepy characters was that an incline? Because then there was a right turn and then a railing to the right overlooking the area where the fireplace was with heads on the wall. So there was definitely an incline up after the hallway of doors. So there were 2 inclines going up to the highest point? First incline was up to the fireplace level.
What did the receptionist say when he popped up?
Why can I smell this video? Lol
have I..watched this video before?
What other "haunted" stuff does MB have now? They still have the walk throughs Nightmare Haunted House and Ripley's Haunted Adventure on the block north of the Pavilion site? Anything else?
THe other dark ride from the Pavilion was at one time out at Broadway at the Beach, I believe. Not sure if it still is or not.
Why did they relocate it to the Pavilion from Broadway at the Beach (Treasure Hunt) if they were considering closing the Pavilion at that time and relocating rides to Broadway? Didn't make sense. They could have kept it at Broadway. Haunted Hotel they could have saved the track, cars, and props and built a new building or hired Sally to build them a new dark ride at Broadway. Even if they saved just the props from the hotel they could have ordered new cars and track from Sally and make a new haunted ride.
Did some researching. Apparently, it was the other way around. The ride opened at Broadway at the Beach as Den Of Lost Thieves. Then was moved to the Pavilion at some point. Sally's website lists the DoLT installations, and BatB is on there.
That's what I meant. Why did they move it to the Pavilion if it was doomed anyway? If they would have kept it at Broadway it might have survived. What happened to it anyway? Is it in storage awaiting a new home or buyer? And why did they sell off the hotel cars as trailers for motorcycles? They could have sold them to a park that has a ride with similar cars. Like Waldameer, for example.
No idea. I've got to assume it had the fate of most of the Pavilion...
Remember how this place smelled?
I remember going on this when I was a kid. Why did they close it?
Because they decided all of a sudden that the park in its old location was unprofitable and made a decision to close it and relocate some of the rides to a new location a few miles away at Broadway at the Beach. Unfortunately, the larger rides that couldn't easily be moved were scrapped on site.
well one thing or sure they really is a haunted hotel run by ghosts
Better than the Haunted Mansion
It was certainly one of the best classic dark rides, but not THAT good.
Hawg Gnarly lol I agree. I think they borrowed some of the effects from the haunted mansion. One that I can see is the marble busts that watch you as you go by. This was a great haunted dark ride, though. I probably rode it a couple hundred times, so this video is awesome! Thank you
What ever happen to this ride when the park closed?
Pretty sure it was trashed. The head tipping guy may have been moved elsewhere. It's a shame. I'd love to have some of the stunts. They were likely sold in an auction.
How you know this kind of stuff?
I'm a theme park junkie. I was at the Pavilion a few weeks before it closed for good. The destruction of the Pavilion was a pretty big deal. Still looked upon as a very stupid move, since it is still just a huge grass spot and a zipline in an ULTRA PRIME location. Right up there with Astroworld's destruction.
I thought some of the Treasure Hunt animatronics (the other Pavilion dark ride, a very short Sally shooting ride) were moved to Broadway on the Beach, but I don't know for sure.
It must have been depressing to see that destruction?!
+Hawg Gnarly I know ghostblasters
None of it was sold off, they demolished it like it was trash
That makes me sick that parks just get rid of their classic dark rides like they were trash. We only have so many left of the Bill Tracy ones and this one was made by Funni Frite in 1978. Funni Frite was from Ohio and went out of business in 2000. Leonard Pickel did the renovation into Hotel in 1992, and Sally added animatronics later on. Ocean City, MD and Rehoboth Beach, DE both have classic dark rides, Haunted House built 1964 by Bill Tracy in OC, MD, and Haunted Mansion built 1978 by Jim Melonic (successor to Bill Tracy) in Rehoboth Beach. OC, MD also has a Bill Tracy Pirate's Cove walkthrough built 1971 in Trimper's Rides.
Actually, the animatronic greeter was moved to the Ghost Blasters 3D ride at Niagra Falls, Ontario.
I would ride this at least 5 times every visit. The musty smell inside mixing with the sea air outside - so many memories.
