[1] While the park was officially closed and became a vacant lot on 9th Avenue and Ocean Boulevard in 2007, some of the rides and attractions were moved to Broadway at the Beach.

[2]: 85 The first Pavilion that was built in 1902 and expanded in 1908[3] was a one-story building that was part of Myrtle Beach's first hotel, the now long-gone Seaside Inn.

A traveling carnival had stopped in Conway, South Carolina for the annual Tobacco Festival, but soon found a permanent home across the street from the Pavilion.

The Carousel itself dates back to 1912, and include numerous types of animals such as: frogs, lions, ostriches, zebras, giraffes, and even dragons instead of using the classical horses.

After the World Exposition the organ traveled all around Europe on a wagon and in 1954 Myrtle Beach Farms bought it for The Pavilion.

The first rollercoaster was received in 1951 and was called Comet Jr, which was a pint sized wooden coaster that was built by National Amusement Devices Company that remained at the park until the late 1960s.

The "Hurricane" was a 3,800-foot long, hybrid-structure coaster that featured an out-and-back style layout that included 14 turns and double helices at each, a 100-foot drop, and a top speed of 55 mph.

At the time of the parks closing in 2006, the "Hurricane" was scrapped, but the Gerstlauer trains ride was purchased by Kings Island to use on their modified Son of Beast coaster.

[1] Several online petitions were circulated in hopes of saving the Pavilion,[8] but Burroughs & Chapin stated that financial instability would force them to shut down park operations.

Hurricane's trains were sold to Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, and were used on Son of Beast until its closure and eventual demolition in 2009 and 2012, respectively.

[10] A new, smaller "mini-park" called the Pavilion Nostalgia Park has been created, featuring a few of the old rides and attractions, including the carousel and organ.

[11] The organ was moved in June 2014 to where it could no longer be seen, and people complained, but Burroughs & Chapin planned to find a new location for it.

[13] Although there is no longer a Pavilion, tourists still visit the area, attracted by the local businesses such as the Gay Dolphin Gift Cove which remain in operation.

[16][17] On April 10, 2013, the Sun News reported that rides and games could return to the old Myrtle Beach Pavilion Amusement Park site that summer.

Strates Shows in Orlando, Florida was proposing a temporary carnival to sit on a four-acre portion of the old Pavilion site next to the Adrenaline Adventures Zip Line,[18][19][20] but due to resistance from the city, the plan was dropped.
