In 1990 I never dreamed that the Pavillion would ever be just a field of grass. To me the Pavillion was where the magic of Myrtle Beach lived.
Yep, it was the gateway to another world, a world of fun, sun, adventure & great memories
In my opinion when they tore it down myrtle beach died
I agree. The heart was ripped out of Myrtle Beach.
Agree!!
@@94karekorn It did. B&C have greatly DESTROYED Myrtle Beach.
Current year sucks, these pavilion videos make me so angry that they tore it down. So many memories! Still love the videos of it and could watch them all day and cry...
Awesome trip down memory lane. I was 10 in 1990, and every summer when my folks made that left turn onto Ocean Boulevard I felt like we'd landed in Oz.
Now that is what I’m talking about! I think a tear began to form as I watched this. The kids today will never know the fun they missed. Thanks for helping us remember a time that is slowly being forgotten. Very nice!!
I will never forget!
I saw tonight where you watched this video. You guys are as sentimental about this as I am. You can use me for fun as much as you want. I know where your hearts are
@@larryburwell8550 ❤❤Much love goes out to you, and everyone else that misses the REAL Myrtle Beach before B&C destroyed it
The Magic Attic. I remember it well.
Me too! Great dances! Had great bands! 1977 high school graduation!❤
Thanks so much I was 10 in 87 & my grandparents took me to Myrtle Beach every summer as far back as I can remember & this video sure brought back some special memories of a better time in life
I miss the Pavilion. I also remember when I was a toddler in the late 70s that there was a Dracula's Castle on Ocean Boulevard and a Big Globe close by it. The Castle would have Dracula and Frankenstein out walking around in front of it.
The Pavilion was the magic of Myrtle Beach. Closing it was THE worst decision ever! If they're smart, they will bring the Pavilion back and restore the magic that Myrtle Beach is so desperately missing
It’s becoming a ghetto shit hole
You are so right. Now it's just a beach town that is cheesy and full of crime.
There are other amusement rides in MB like Family Kingdom and a few smaller ride areas, and some Pavilion rides were moved to a new Pavilion Park at Broadway at the Beach.
The Pavillion the American dream.Now just memories lost in time.A footnote in history.Thanks for the time travel. Hope they fill the empty space. 👍
I hope so too!
@@MrMyrtle Me too!
Man I miss the Pavilion!! That was one of the best parts of going to the beach! That rainbow ride was one of my favorites. We spent hours at the arcade across the street right off the beach. Ahh memories 🤗😊
Grew up with these rides! Miss this place. Hate they took it away. The rainbow ride was great!
The rainbow wasn't bad. It gives you that same feeling in your belly of a roller coaster drop, but alot more intense
Brings back a lot of good memories.
The rainbow was fun and stomach talking . Loved it! I just left Myrtle and it’s not the same. I miss old Myrtle.
I just drove by the pavilion area a few days ago. I hadn’t been back since 1997. Seeing nothing but grass and volleyball courts . I felt such sadness. That Pavillion brought such life, a pulse, and excitement. It really felt like the movie “Lost Boys”. Now , there stands empty volleyball courts. What a huge mistake.
I wish I could get the old blueprints for The Pavilion
I smiled the whole time I was watching. Now I'm fighting tears. 😢
Loved the Rainbow!!🌈
Thank you for this video. Omg. I so miss the Pavilion. It was where we went every summer since I was a little girl. The ice cream was awesome and I loved the Ferris wheel. Everything was great and this video made me smile and reminisce about my younger years. Was there the year it shut down. They should bring it back. Thanks again.
I remember taking the last pics before it was torn down. Sad...
@@julesservantofjesus972 It was sad. I wanted to make sure I took pictures and collected souveniers to keep. Really wish the Pavilion was still there.
@@teresacotter2161 Me too! I remember riding by & taking pics of the sign etc. Miss those days!
Thank you for the memories I about to cry
I know right?! 😥
I loved the indoor scrambler that played loud music
That was mine and my sister's favorite ride!!
1987 was the best time in the history of time. So glad I got to grow up here.
GREAT VIDEO ! BUT ITS HEARTBREAKING HOW THINGS HAVE CHANGES ?
I remember the gum in the log flume cave! 😂
Me too.
The pavilion was cool and just wish they keep it going.
The great thing about the Rainbow was the view. I still have a photo that was taken at the top.
I luv it! I miss The Pavilion!!
Thanks for the memories. They should have never torn it down. 😞
Burroughs and Chapin still owns that’s organ probably will put the carousel and that together when they decide what to do with them. I know carousel is still at Broadway covered up around the construction. Look at how busy ocean blvd was and at the McDonald’s and Wendy’s there too.would be cool if u could do one about the old base!
I really hope they do something with that band organ and fix it up...I remember it just sitting out of order at Broadway at the beach and I thought it was such a shame because it used to be so beautiful
MB is not the same place with out the Pavilon. MB lost its specialness when it was torn down.
Yep. I haven't been back but maybe once. makes me sick
I Kno right just looking at that field of grass just pisses me the fuck off
@@cs21uncc we just spend most of our time down in Murrells Inlet now
Man I wish this place was still around. Never got to visit it... 😔
I did all though out the 90's that was my childhood I'm still pissed that it's gone😡😡😡
Waaaay back in summer of '83, I worked at that McDonalds across the street from the park. 😳😅
You can see the arches behind the Rainbow ride you didn't like. 🌈
I would pay $1 after every shift to ride the Corkscrew coaster before I walked home! We lived that close to the park. 🤣 Many great memories!
The best of myrtle beach gone
Dude, thanks for the memories. Gotta say though that I go back 25 years earlier than your video. Right. Early 60s. What you said about it being an exciting place was so right especially for a 10-year-old. The "merry-go-round" and the calliope (aka the Myrtle Beach Organ") are forever ingrained in my memory. And way back then, the paving was non-existent. It was dirt, and wonderful. At the front of the amusement park facing the ocean were twin ferriswheels with the height of romantiic views of the Atlantic at their apex. Moving, even for a kid who still had the sand of the day's adventures under their toenails. The amusement park roller coaster was fun, but the real test of courage was the :Wild Mouse' individual car "roller coaster" in the Pavillion amusement park across the street. Those up-dressed people in your video were still to come. The real meaning of "Family" has been lost to a political ping-pong ball. You want to see families relaxing, having a great time, letting their hair down, being unafraid of being ordinary, everyone revisiting their own childhood with their own children, the 60s were the end of that. Sorry you missed it.
Great video! Some of my greatest memories as a kid in the 1980s were made at the MB Pavilion! Sure miss it!
Caterpillar was my favorite ....no way I could spin in circles now
Agreed! It's amazing how the body becomes less tolerable of that kind of motion. lol
@@MrMyrtle Haha! One year at Broadway they had one of those sit & spin kind of rides & my husband made ours really spin. It was the first time in my life I actually saw someone turn green. It was him. LOL 😂🤢 We got off & he said "I'm sick , we have to leave!" I said, "We can't, I want to shop, we just got here!" 😆🛍️🛍️🛍️
So I got him a Coke or something & we sat down & he felt better! He said he'd never ride anything like that again!
And that's been awhile ago!
😂 I haven't been on any rides in years! I'd still go on something like the Caterpillar though! 🤩
@@julesservantofjesus972 Never saw green, but I saw a gentleman stagger from the tilt-a-whirl at Tweetsie Railroad and collapse on a bench, gray as a ghost. felt so bad for him......I never liked the spinny rides either
That look back was awesome and brought back lots of memories! I went into mourning when it closed.
Only, wish the younger kids around here could feel, how cool the pavilion was back. Then.
I loved the Pavillion :) rode the corkscrew many times
So cool!
I miss it there. The pavillion was the place to be. I'm glad I got to take my granddaughter there before it closed.
the rainbow ride that was......at the pavillion was really terrific
The rainbow ride was not scary. Pretty fun too
Thanks so much for sharing! I was stationed at Myrtle Beach AFB from 1987 to 1991. I loved the Pavilion and especially the Rainbow. I drove up from Charleston right before it closed to ride it again. So glad to see the love for the ride here.
Thanks for sharing!
I love seeing the hot cars of the 90s. A sweet Dodge Daytona, a white foxbody mustang, a sweet blue Jeep!
Yes, they are really cool. Remind me of hot wheels when I was a kid.
The milestone moment in my life happened at the Pavilion arcade when I was a teen. A sparkling morning. A beautiful ebony princess my own age wearing a blue bikini playing Street Fighter II. It changed my life.
I was in heaven. Now heaven no longer exists. 😔
Awww....I remember meeting a boy from Indiana while my family and I were on vacation in Surfside. We'd talk at night by the ocean. It was sweet.
I was around 14 yrs old. Just innocent but I wonder where he is today... 😊
@@julesservantofjesus972 What a sweet memory! Aren't they the ones that make your heart skip? I'm sure he has thought of you too! 😎
@@ebonygentleman79 Yeah! LOL 😂😉 I don't know. We exchanged addresses & I wrote him but he never wrote back.
We just talked but he said I looked pretty standing in the ocean. I remember that! 😁🙋🏼♀️
@@julesservantofjesus972 Man, that's a shame! At least you have that sweet memory. Nothing like it. Only at Myrtle Beach! 😁
@@ebonygentleman79 You're cute. I'd write to ya :)
How cool to look back thank you.
Next time you time travel...
Leave me there. Homesick for a place that does not exist.
Me too
roll a J and go back. :)
The best days ever!
Bring's back good memories 😀
The Rainbow…. loved it because you could see the ocean and those huge kites across the street (by the Magic Attic) every time you went up in the air! I also loved the bobsleds (cannot think of their actual name)! Great video, really stirred some memories!
I miss it now & I'll miss it forever!!!
Absolutely love these history videos of Myrtle Beach!!!
Glad you like them!
Good old days in Myrtle Beach
Coming from Cincinnati Ohio almost every summer since 1994 to the myrtle beach area, i appreciate stuff like this...keep the good content coming!!👍🙌
Thank you!
This video bring back so many of my childhood memories I loved the Pavillion
Thanks for sharing, I appreciate it. Classic Myrtle Beach
Another great video. I remember playing several games of Off Road on the Surfside Beach Pier back 90s.
If you can find any footage of the Myrtle Beach Grand Prix or Water Boggin' on the south end of Ocean Blvd, I think that would make for a good Then and Now style video.
I loved the grand prix!
This place was my childhood. I still can’t wrap my head around the decision to remove the biggest attraction of Myrtle Beach. It’s an absolute travesty.
I agree.
The rainbow was an awesome ride. I miss the Pavilion I can't believe they tore it down for nothing so disappointing
The rainbow was a super fun ride that gave terrific views of the boulevard and ocean, especially at night! Only scary thing was that it would slap the leaves of the palm trees next to it and I was always worried that one would break off and hit me lol
This was awesome, I never thought I'd see it again. It was a magical place for a kid in the late 80s early 90s that unfortunately only exist in videos like this and our memory. I also remember the gum on the log flume I had forgotten all about it until you mentioned it, It brought back a memory of being on the log flume and the sound of those little model t cars you could ride around in honking. It brought back another memory of that kid who fell off the Ferris wheel and was on an episode of rescue 911, great video.
Great video as always! the fall of Myrtle Beach was the end of the whole Pavilion Amusement Park and the Dances across the street. I rode many of these rides including the Corkscrew, the Pirate , the haunted mansion and many more. The Corkscrew replicated the Carolina Cyclone at Carowinds in both NC/SC, however I believe that the Carolina Cyclone in Charlotte had 2 verticle loops in the ride as well. Thanks for bringing back some wonderful memories.
Had so many memories of the Pavilion. Every time that I came to myrtle beach for vacation "back then" Me and my Mom went there at least two days while we were here.
Sad that park is gone!😭😭
Wonderful....sad....thank you
OMG everything you're showing and telling me brings back nostalgia. That terrifying Rainbow ride, the amazing Gravitron, the coasters, I forgot about the log flume until you mentioned the gum in the cave. The nearby Waves store and Wendy's on the corner. Wow. oh man I forgot all about most of this. oh man the ice cream shop. This was a great time, I'm so glad somebody filmed it before we all had phones. I remember my dad walking around with a VHS camcorder. I remember going to the Attic across the street. oh man this brings me back to a better time in life.
I remember a haunted house at one point. This is a great video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
The Haunted Inn went through multiple exterior facelifts and names. At various times it was the Haunted Inn, Hotel, and House.
Thank you for this video. It brought back a lot of really good memories. It makes me sad knowing the Pavilion is no longer there. It was unique and a landmark for many years.
I love this.. Thank you
So glad!
Well done. I know how you feel about those rides. I quickly learned I can't do those rides either. I don't do well with negative G's!
I grew up here and miss this place so much! At least my kids got to enjoy it for awhile before stingy B&C tore it down. Loved this place!
Wish there was video from back in 80/81
I can try go find one.
Myrtle Beach Things I’m looking for videos back in the Castle Dracula/Guinness Museum days.
Also it’s pretty hard to find any info on the old Lighthouse Motel, or the original Days Inn hotel further south.
I am 67 years old and rode the wild mouse when I was 10. Miss the pavilion.
I was there many times as a child and later took my own kids there. It is sad that I can’t also take my grandkids. It was more fun and a lot less expensive than going to Disney World!
I lived in MB from 1979 to 1991. Loved the original pavilion. I hung out there in all of my junior and high school years of the late 70’s and early 80’s
Would love to see the firework shops lining the street coming from south of the border to myrtle beach. Thanks for the great historic footage!!
the former surfrider hotel (now owned by boardwalk) between 23rd ave N and 24th ave N in Myrtle had that same arcade version of off-road. you are right, Sir, it was one of the best!
omg this brings back so many memories!!!!!!! I wish they never would have tore in down.. and now sits a zipline I never see anyone use!!!
It had so many crowds when it originally opened. I only go their on vacation because I live in New Jersey and when I go to Family Kingdom I almost never see people
Wikipedia indicates the Pavilion had "Rainbow" (serial number 48368), originally produced as a park model by HUSS in Germany back in 1984. The ride was brought to the Pavilion in 1987. After the Pavilion closed, the "Rainbow" made an appearance on RUclips (search "Maxwell Ivey Rainbow"); the video was made to showcase the "Rainbow" as it was for sale on "midway marketplace". i assume the "Rainbow" laid in a field for six years before being shown on RUclips. The "Rainbow" was converted to a trailer-mounted model and sold to a traveling midway that operates out of France. Wikipedia indicates "Rainbow" 48368 was scrapped in 2014. Hopefully it brought two years of joy to kids in Europe. The Fleur Family operates a traveling midway in France, so i hope any useful 48368 parts are being used on "Rainbow" #13 the Fleur Family has owned since 1983. Another "Rainbow" (#28) exists in an amusement park name Antibes Land in France...maybe parts of 48368 live on as part of this machine? Both French Rainbows can be seen on RUclips (search "Fleur Rainbow" or "Antibesland Rainbow"). Our closest "Rainbow" made by HUSS is located in Rossville, Georgia and is named "Conestoga" (#28) complete with Wild West theme. #28 was also built in 1984, but the seats are sideways and designed to look like riding in an old stagecoach (RUclips search "Lake Winnie Conestoga"). i can't believe you read all of this, thanks!
Man I miss going to the pavilion amusement park back when it was open still in 2004. i remember riding the hydro rapids water ride that they had as well as seeing all of the other rides there. Another ride that I wanted to go on back then was the Hurricane Cat 5 wooden roller coaster. But now I will never get to ride it ever. i also heard that the broadway at the beach area is going to expand the pavilion east section and add some new attractions there in its place. But it was just a rumor for now. I hope it becomes true though.
I always loved riding the Rainbow!! I would try to keep my arms up full circle as it would go around.
Alot memory's there at the pavilion I never thought it be grass now
So many good memories there.. Love it
Just got back from the beach. It is sad they tore it all down. I am happy that my children enjoy Family Kingdom. My 8 yo rode their roller coaster 7 times. He will have good memories at least....just not the same as mine.
I was 17 in 1987 😂😂😂
I was 15! Great times! 😊🙋🏼♀️
I was 18. Miss that time. The music ruled and nothing has replaced it. I'm trying to figure out a way to go back but nothing seems to make it happen.
I was 13 in 1987. And...my sister and were at Myrtle Beach and the Pavilion with our grandparents that summer. I rode the Corkscrew for the first time with my grandfather.
I feel so lucky to have been the last gen who grew up with the Pavilion being a weekly thing every summer break. Myrtle Beach isnt the same since it closed
There was a ride there that looked like a UFO. When inside it spun around and stuck you to the walls of it by centrifugal force. Loved that thing
The Gravitron!
I was one of the ones who put gum on the wall of the tunnel on the Log Flume.🙋🏻♀😂This one time my brother, cousin and I begged my parents to stop at a gas station on the way there so we could get some gum to put on the wall. 😂 I loved the Rainbow. Not scary at all.🙂 Now I did not ride the Haunted Hotel. The Skelton at the balcony that moved scared the crap out of me. Flash forward to 2005 when I was 14 I got the courage to finally ride it but it broke down while waiting in line. Never had the chance to ride it since the Pavilion closed down the next year and for whatever reason my family didn’t go the Pavilion that final season. You also gotta good view of MB while riding the swings.
Please do more of the 'time travel' videos if you have the footage for them, especially for the late 80s/early 90s since that was the time when my whole family visited MB together (many of whom are gone now). I still try to visit once a year with my dad, and every time we pass the empty lot where the Pavilion once stood, he gets angry that not only is it not there anymore, but that nothing has been done to the land (making the removal of a historical attraction seem pointless). We were there last month for a couple days and walked by the parking lot area from your previous video. He told me that he remembers riding some of the rides stored there when he was a kid, which dates some of them back to the late fifties/early sixties, so it will really be a shame if nothing is done with them. I wish whoever owns the land would just put them back in the same spot, at least once the pandemic is over and people are able to gather together safely again. The rainbow ride was pretty fun, by the way. The scariest thing about it, to me, was the big sun face at the center; that and the skull in the haunted house gave me nightmares as a kid.
I miss it so much .
The Pavilion corkscrew roller coaster may have been the same one a woman was killed on when it was installed at Magic, aka tragic, Harbor amusement park. I found that out AFTER I rode the Corkscrew when it was installed at the Pavilion
I remember years ago I think a teen boy fell from the Ferris Wheel. Am I correct Mr. Myrtle?
Seems like someone had been shaking their seats or something. Horrible...😢
Robert, it was not. The girl was my friend. We were in 8th grade and her name was Sherri. The coaster was called the Black Witch. 🖤😭
I read an article a while back and I believe that you are correct.
Thank you!!! This brings back so many awesome memories for me!! My family and I vacationed in Myrtle every year. We never ever got tired if it! We'd always go to the Pavlion during the vacay...i remember the Enterprise..would start out round and round then it would be upright and you'd be upside! Thrilling!!! My friend would always accompany me and we met two cute boys and we rode through that haunted house with them. Tony and Tracie were their names. What fun memories!!
That is awesome!
I still remember the first time I saw the Haunted Inn, as a young boy; it was marvelous. I was actually in disbelief when they converted it to the Haunted Hotel, which I felt was a baffling downgrade, as the Inn had such an immense presence. Still, I remember them both fondly, though the Inn remains one of those magical things from childhood.
The Rainbow offered a priceless view of the Atlantic, over the roof of the Pavilion - one of the greatest memories of my entire childhood. It's for that reason that I maintain pieces of the ride in my collection, as mementos.
The Zip Line in the spot now just seems not used anymore it just looks abandoned
Man I miss this place
Great video brings back alot of good childhood memories. And yes the rainbow was a good ride.
Glad you enjoyed it
@@MrMyrtle Would love to see 1 on north myrtle beach grand prix or magic harbor
I miss the pavilion. Definitely had great memories. One time, back when when I was 14, I met a girl there and fell in love. We hung out all night at the pavilion, and then walked the beach once it closed. I was from NC and she was from another state. I never had a connection like that, and probably never will again.
Please do more time travels !!
I will!
@@MrMyrtle Do you have anything from Surfside pier & Garden City Arcade? Are they going to rebuild the Surfside Pier? I remember walking out there & looking down we could see in between the boards. It was kinda scary seeing the ocean underneath at night.
@@MrMyrtle Hey Mr. Myrtle, I made 2 main posts & they disappeared. I was talking about graduating in 1990 etc. Do you see them anywhere? I made one & it disappeared & then I posted again & it's gone. Thanks for the video! Have a blessed day!
I don’t see them Jules.
@@MrMyrtle Weird huh? I wrote them twice. I was saying that I graduated high school in 1990 & was there that June. I remember seeing the girls in the video wearing white Keds with the slouch socks like I did back then.
😂😁 Also I thanked you for taking me back to those days.
I miss the Pavilion. I never rode anything except for the Caterpillar & something similar. I remember the loud music & going backwards! It was fun! I'm glad Peaches is still around! Have a blessed week Mr. Myrtle!
🙏🏻✝️🙋🏼♀️😁🌭🍦🎡🎢
The worst thing that was done was when they tore down the Attic and the Pavilion Park. It Is not the same place a anymore. My daughter does not even go too Mrytle Beach anymore.
The best part of going there
I love this video you make it look like you are their back in time
Great memories but I was lookin for M.C.Hammer pants i was there that year an they were in all the surf shops,an yes I did get a pair!
Awesome video. Good memories.
