- Most of the beachside attractions in this video are gone now. Only 'Goofy Golf', Bay County Pier and 'Fun-Land" remain. Music by Lyle Lovett, Al Green performing Funny How Time Slips Away. (C) 1994 Geffen Records
It hurt my heart so bad when they got rid of miracle strip. Growing up in PCB, all of these were terrific memories.
This was when Panama City Beach was the "Real Deal". The attractions that have been destroyed are irreplaceable, and so are the memories that were created in/by them!!!!!! Just rips my heart out to know some of my favorite places on planet Earth are gone and my childhood memories are all that's left......
But how lucky we are to have those times in our past. These are the good old days for this Generation. How sad for them. But I'm old enough to go back to the Hang Out days. Got kick out by the sheriffs department for having long hair.??
Seeing ghost town really brought back some fond memories. I'd give anything to go back to those days. Somehow pier park just dosent do anything for me
Wow....!!!! Brought a tear to my eye. I have lived 3 hours away from Panama City Beach for the 40 years I've been on this Earth. My parents took us there at least twice a year for many years of my childhood. I remember all of this, I remember the magic carpet ride at Petticoat Junction, The train that took you to ghost town, the shady rest inn, all of miracle strip, and much much more that will live on in some of the greatest memories I'll ever have. Thank you for this video, an incredible sense of nostalgia came over me through the whole thing. :)
I'm glad you liked it, Jody.
Is there anything like it anymore? Anywhere?
@@jimrockford4968 yes some places up in PA, probably others.
You would think Panama city beach would only get better in the future,but it didn't get better. I miss the 'Miracle strip amusement park"and the atmosphere of decent fun that came with it. Now I feel like the man in the Twilight zone episode, "The Walking Distance"
That's what I was thinking....
When they tore down the Beach Tower I knew P.C.B. would never be the same. Edge Water literally moved Front Beach Rd. To much has changed. I've never went back.
this was the good old days ,no shooting ,bulling,just fun....
I work at the castle Dracula when it first open sure we're good ole days, I enjoy watching this ty.
I have half of the Fun - Land sign. The Fun - half and also the Fun Fun Fun sign too. A waterspout blew them off the building. A piece of history.
I literally cried watching this,the music was perfect but I’m crying real tears
That was one of the first videos I composed...I'm glad you liked it...although, it made you cry
I wish l could be there in the '80's with my family one more time.
Those were the best times
Great compilation and production!
I was happy to see the Sky Ride included. That was my summer job for a couple years when I was a teenager (and dinosaurs roamed the Earth).
The county pier still there? Yes and no. There is a pier in the same location today. It has had to be rebuilt due to storm damage a couple times though. I think I heard it is now a twin of the pier at Pier Park now. But, I rarely cross the Hathaway Bridge nowadays. Everything I loved about Panama City Beach is lost.
I still go to fun land every year! What wonderful memories. ❤
I really miss Petticoat Junction and Miracle Strip Amusement Park.
christosvoskresye I just saw that a new Miracle Strip has opened up! It's not the one I grew up with, but it's something good for the locals.
loved those days lots of memories loved the castle and the Frankenstein that walked around outside the castle.
I miss those days so much.
Thank you, for taking the time to walk me down "Memory Lane".
Beautiful Memories! Thank You Very Much! Wish I could turn back that old clock ⏰.
Miracle strip amusement park was my childhood !!
Very good. Brought back some great memories.
My mom worked at dairy king a short lived restaurant around the west end. A boogie board and the beach were my babysitters I was soo tanned. LoL.
Love the emarld coast
The haunted castle is set up in Oxford Alabama. It is open every October!
1:48, The Miracle Strip Haunted Castle after the 1978 renovation.
Good times, good times! Nice choice of music too.
this was my home as a child... we used to go to the beach and visit petticoat junction and ride the train when the robbers jumped the train and the lawmen saved us
Loved this!
Thanks..!
love your video
Nice work, Kenny. Love the stuff you post in Facebook.
Thanks, Ike. I'm glad you like my page..!
I'd give up my cellphone to go back in time & ride the train at P J again
1:34, Miracle Strip's Haunted Castle prior to 1978.
There was also another putt-putt place near fun-land that was similar to goofy golf called zoo land. I think it was turned into a camping trailer park though. I don't go to PC much anymore these days, maybe once every few years or for a deep sea fishing trip. Now that I have my own family, our vacation destination is Orlando more often than not.
Goofy Golf was copied throughout the southeastern states. Lego Land created a Goofy Golf Lego version.
This makes me sad to see what PCB has become.
Fun land is still here
i love orbs they are ghosts that float
i see some of it still the same stuff still there
i would like to see that ghost town please
yah
Kenny, I love all of these attractions and remember them all. Do you have any shots of the old sixties era motels that you can post? keep up the good work thanks
There's a lot of old motel photos on Old Panama City Beach FB page.
Kenny Redd thanks
wow count Dracula castle..
whers the ghost town at?
don't see that there 2015?
Anybody remember the "old house" and the "hurricane house"?
Hell buddy I remember when they sold beer on the PCB pier, (Then it was the Red Carpet pier). In the little bait shop at the start of the waters edge.
hmm sky ride?
Is there anything like it? Anywhere? You could take your family there and do everything. Now i am sure theres no more go carts. No more golf. No more!!
just went to goofy golf and fun land. fun land really should ditch the tickets and new horrid games. 4 player simpsons turtles and some final fight and such would make it much better
