Although i'm glad Hard Rock Park is up and running at Myrtle Beach, i do get a lonely feeling inside seeing the old Pavilion area. When i was riding my ripstik skateboard on the sidewalk one night there along where the amusement park was, it was a spooky feeling knowing what was there with the Hydro Surge water ride, Hurricane coaster, & Rainbow at the front of the park. Now?, it's like a ghost town at night time. [V] That area of Myrtle Beach used to be Great night life, now it starts with the Ripley's museum building & Peaches Corner & on back. Makes you wonder if any 'ol joe know what used to be there doesn't it?, hmm... If B&C came up with some cool shops to go there and if they were to put the Pirate, Caterpillar, & Wave Swinger back there in the original Pavilion area, then, that'd satisfy me. [8D] ...And maybe bring back the CorkScrew rollercoaster.
I know the CorkScrew wasn't as big as the Hurricane was or lasted that long, but it did go upside down twice which was cool and fun. Never did it make me dizzy & i rode it alot when the Pavilion had it. Though, i do miss the Rainbow too, i hope they don't sell it off to another park or traveling carnival. Seeing the Rainbow all of those years was a family tradition, before we checked into the hotel for that week's stay, we just had to ride by to see the Rainbow. [8D]I have No clue whatsoever where they have the Rainbow stored. I know it had maintenance issues, but still, i hope they keep it or better yet, would be awesome if Family Kingdom bought it!
