As reported in today’s edition of The Sun News, the Pavilion Nostalgia Park at Broadway at the Beach is on target to open to the public in time for next week’s July 4th holiday – the busiest time of year on the Grand Strand.
The new section of Broadway will feature 10 attractions from the former seaside amusement park, which celebrated its last season of entertaining Ocean Boulevard revelers in 2006. Rides will include the Tea Cup, Motorcycle, Dune Buggy and Pirate Ship Kiddie rides; the Boat, Caterpillar, Pirate Ship and Wave Swinger rides for the bigger kids; and the classic Herschell-Spillman Carousel that dates back 95 years. Another Pavilion mainstay, the century-old German Baden Band Organ, will also be on prominent display – still running on the same hand-fed cardboard sheet music as it did back at the turn of the 19th Century.
Admission to the Pavilion Nostalgia Park will be free, with ride tickets starting at $3 each and discounts for bulk ticket purchases (9 tickets for $20; 25 tickets for $50). All rides will require one ticket; all tickets purchased are also redeemable at NASCAR SpeedPark, Carousel Rides or Dragons Lair.
