Miracle Strip Amusement Park [Abandoned]

This video was taken in August of 2008. You can see the entrance, the dome that housed the Abominable Snowman ride, and the remaining parts of the Log Flume ride.

Well, if there ever was a time for some park chain or millionaire entrepreneur to resurrect MSAP, it would be now. Starliner is up for sale again. Wouldn't it be a cool homecoming for the old girl if Miracle Strip were to re-open, with Starliner back where she used to be.

why is it for sale? is that park closing also or do they just want to get rid of it?

Excellent video--atmospheric and evocative. I'd give anything to have the old PCB back again.

[burnlikestars1]

I shot it really quick with a digital camera, Ive since picked up a digital video camera so I hope I get a chance to get back there, I'll make a legitimate video.

@seadog1988 yep. your right. i remember also in the 70's my father told me ill appreciate Johnson's Beach being partly made into a national sea shore and he has been so right. i could not believe all the condos that are obstructing a once pristine beach. sad........

What happend to it

[anymaegrrl]

@burnlikestars1 Cypress Gardens closed and was bought out by LegoLand. The decided to keep the Triple Hurricane, but not the Starliner. The Starliner has been officially bought by Miracle Strip @ Pier Park and they are working to have it brought back and rebuilt, but on a new site, hopefully where they put up the other former rides. Check out their Facebook page for more details.

one of the worst parks ever. owner was a tightwad that overworked and underpaid his employees (i put up with the crap for one summer - great way to meet and bang chicks - but that was about it). was land-locked, could never get bigger.
