The Myrtle Beach Pavilion, "The Last Ride".

Saturday, September 30, 2006, marked the final day of operation for the iconic Myrtle Beach Pavilion. For 58 years, the amusement park by the Atlantic Ocean in the heart of Myrtle Beach has provided unforgettable memories of family vacations for generations. The park will be redeveloped into an as-yet-to-be-announced major urban renovation that will benefit the city of Myrtle Beach in year-round fashion, improving the decaying surrounding areas.

On Saturday, the park became the backdrop to fantasies lived and relived, and to lifetimes remembered.
