When the Myrtle Beach Pavilion<\/a> closed on 30 September 2006, it ripped the beating heart of out the city, and Myrtle Beach has never recovered. The site, once a people magnet, sat vacant for several years but was finally leased by Burroughs & Chapin to this zipline operation. I understand the difference between a property bringing in no money vs some money, but as a draw, from a civic standpoint it was not really a replacement.<\/p>\n

In January of 2024, B & C declined to renew the lease, and the attraction shut down, with the pieces now being disassembled and the lot cleared. The story, as reported by The Sun News<\/a>, doesn't make complete sense. The main mystery is why the zipline operator wanted to stay on when he claims the operation was never profitable. A subsidiary mystery is why B & C chose now:<\/p>\n

He confirmed that the lease for Myrtle Beach Zipline Adventures contained language that allowed Burroughs & Chapin to remove the zip line if the company ever chose to build something else on the former Pavilion land. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That would imply that something new is in the works for the site, but aside from that bit of leading language, there are no details.<\/p>\n

The only zip I have been on was The Canyons<\/a> in Florida, which I quite enjoyed, so I thought I might get around to this one some year, but in the event I guess not.<\/p>\n

Here<\/a> is WPDE on the teardown, and here<\/a> is WBTW.<\/p>\n

Finally, here is a promotional video for the site:<\/p>\n
