Picture of the day for June 16th, 2009 - Pavilion roller coaster in 2004

The Myrtle Beach Pavilion was an amusement park in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. It was on the corner of 9th Avenue and Ocean Boulevard, more or less the "heart" of Myrtle Beach, one block away from the beach itself, and surrounded by similar attractions, in a highly pedestrian-dominated area. It was once a major attraction in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, even being voted #1 Family Attraction in Myrtle Beach by the Travel Channel. It was a pay-per-ride park.
The owners of the Pavilion, Burroughs and Chapin, announced shortly before its opening that 2006 would be its final season. The 2006 season concluded to the public on September 24, 2006, although, a select number of people were able to participate in a "Last Ride" event on Sept. 30, 2006. The farewell season proved extremely popular bringing in the Pavilion's largest growth in attendance and profits the park has ever seen. Several locals have written songs expressing their sadness or anger towards the subject such as "Its Hard to Say Goodbye" and "Why do You Want to Tear the Pavilion Down"[1]there were also some online petitions made to save the Pavilion, but Burroughs and Chapin didn't have an option, and was forced to close the park because of financial instability. Near the time Burroughs and Chapin announced the closing of the Pavilion, Hard Rock Park (now Freestyle Music Park and also in Myrtle Beach) was announced as being almost ready to construct. The park's historic carousel and the Baden Band Organ has been relocated to Broadway at the Beach, Myrtle Beach, SC.
