    Love this park, I used to go here every year with my grandparents, really want to go back someday, it's a shame that pavilion park and hard rock park are no longer open, then myrtle beach would definitely become coaster destination for more coaster enthusiasts

    Family Kingdom looks like a nice fun park and Swamp Fox looks amazing. Especially with this place being in Myrtle Beach and that new Funplex Park coming soon, I could definitely see a side trip out here being well worth it.

      @@CanobieCoaster i just went to the funplex park and it is crazily expensive but the hamster wheel thing was fun. if you ever go on it. make sure to be careful when you are going up the lift hill for a second time through the lap because it really crushes you.

    This is my home park!! I will say that slingshot supposedly failed inspection and the ferris wheel had a key component break and the park was waiting on a new part so they could rebuild the wheel with the new part, thanks for giving swamp fox the love it deserves, ive ridden it hundreds of times and it never gets old

    I’m glad you had a good experience at Family Kingdom but unfortunately this might be the park my family got screwed over with the most.
    Their rain policy shut the park down only an hour after it opened during the evening. The rain stopped 30 minutes afterwards and it was around 8 o’clock. The park was closed for the night. (The forecast showed clear skies on that night)
    We had our wristbands got on the wild mouse & Swamp Fox once, only for the planned rerides we wanted to do to never happen. We knew we were going to reride the coasters multiple times and wanted to stay during the night hours, only for those moments to not happen without any warning. There was not a single ride operator present when we returned after the rain passed by. (Nothing on social media or anything.)
    Plus there was no refunds either or the wristbands didn’t apply to the second day since they closed earlier than expected or anything like that.
    I wish they improved that policy as that is the worst moment we had at any park.

      @@CanobieCoaster On the positive note, Swamp Fox was well maintained and a blast to ride. I remember riding while going through the airtime moments going “Ooo! This is good!” (Even though I wasn’t in the back row. I was in the back car if I’m correct.)
      Even though it doesn’t get talked about much, most enthusiasts who have ridden it talk about it in high regards.
      Fun fact the arcade that was closed on your visit was where we stayed while the rain was pouring down.
