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
Was in Myrtle Beach this past November. The Ferris Wheel appears to be nearly reassembled (sans gondolas). It looks more likely to return for the 2021 season.
Man this makes me sad, my family and my cousins would go here every summer, but now we’ve all gotten older and my cousins have all graduated, and it just wouldn’t be the same without them. I miss childhood😭
I saw more work being done on Swamp Fox today and I also noticed new ride supports and seats looks like a Frisbee Ride I saw it by the parks small Ferris Wheel
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.
@@CanobieCoaster I’ll say this it is probably better than your experience at La Feria! ¡Tú experiencia en La Feria está muy malo y yo espero que no tendría experiencia en el futuro! That might be bad Spanish but what I meant to say is your experience at La Feria is very bad and I hope that you don’t have experiences like that in the future.
The parks Slingshot drop tower wasn’t open when I last went and I asked why it wasn’t and it was going through maintenance but it seems closed more often then open
Canobie Coaster The launch up is fun that’s it though I think it needs to be taken down and have a better drop ride it doesn’t seem to popular anymore anyway
It’s a shame South Carolina lost their two bigger parks the Pavilion in 2006 and Hard Rock Park during 2009 I really think South Carolina needs a park like Kentucky Kingdom considering Carowinds is mostly in North Carolina even though some parts are in South Carolina
It's fascinating how Hard Rock Park and Myrtle Beach Pavilion where much bigger than this place and yet this is the only park in town that is still in operation.
Don’t forget Gay Dolphin Park! (OK, it was small, with just one wild mouse, but it’s a shame the park didn’t make it past 1968, just for that name alone!)

I wish those parks were still around.
This place looks like a cool little park. I'd love to visit soon!
Swamp Fox alone is worth it!
I can definitely see from these photos and videos how much work was done this off season. It's actually looks nicely presented now.
Glad it was noticeable!
Really nice review! Had a great few hours here riding swamp Fox 25 times
With Swamp Fox running at half capacity, I couldn't quite get that many.
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.
Agreed! That new Funplex park looks interesting with the larger hamster wheel.

Lucky to have that ride in your home park! Interesting on Slingshot
Slingshot is still closed and they say because of maintenance but I call bullshit

@@jonathansima7591 yes, I agree 2021 is likely for the return of the ferris wheel
I don’t think the drop tower should be their anymore it was even closed still in August when I last went this year
Man this makes me sad, my family and my cousins would go here every summer, but now we’ve all gotten older and my cousins have all graduated, and it just wouldn’t be the same without them. I miss childhood😭
Hopefully you can make it back someday!
As I mentioned before, this place will definitely be a stop on the route whenever I manage to get to a Southeast coaster trip.
It's worth it!
@@CanobieCoaster It’s now officially on my itinerary for this summer!
I'm going here next weekend!
Enjoy Swamp Fox!
I saw more work being done on Swamp Fox today and I also noticed new ride supports and seats looks like a Frisbee Ride I saw it by the parks small Ferris Wheel
Hopefully Swamp Fox is running well after the flood damage.
@@CanobieCoaster I’m sure it will
nice to hear about a park that no one talks about
Agreed!
i was here about 5 days ago and i loved it. such a great park. swamp fox was awesome and i though the wild mouse was scary as heck!
Nice!
The new Funplex place coming looks very nice in the concept art and the new coaster in the pic looks very crazy
I really want to try one of those hamster wheel coasters.
Cool little park
Agreed!
Swamp Fox fits in perfectly with this park.
Agreed!

Love seaside parks!
Me too!
After this review, I think I need to fit this into next summer's trip, which will include Carowinds.
Agreed! It should be added on a trip to Carowinds.
Hey I love this amusement park
Same here!
Hey I love this video
If Carowinds opens this year, I'll see if I can make it here.
Definitely worth the side trip!
I'll be sure to stop here next time I'm at Carowinds.
It's definitely worth it!
Just a FYI some channel called Rogers Family Travels copied this video exactly and uploaded it without any changes
Oh, thank you for letting me know.
Interesting to know what precautions they are taking for covid-19.
Agreed!
I wonder if the park will invest more because now that the park has a Funtime Slingshot
Not sure. It had healthy crowds opening day this year.
The parks Slingshot drop tower wasn’t open when I last went and I asked why it wasn’t and it was going through maintenance but it seems closed more often then open
I was disappointed Slingshot was closed for the view, but I rode the same model at the Adventuredome and it was quite weak.
Canobie Coaster The launch up is fun that’s it though I think it needs to be taken down and have a better drop ride it doesn’t seem to popular anymore anyway
@@ThrillsofColdplay it’s been sbno since 2019 it’s 2023 now and not reopened, I have a feeling it will be removed
RIP Hard Rock Park 😢
If only they had better marketing!
It’s a shame South Carolina lost their two bigger parks the Pavilion in 2006 and Hard Rock Park during 2009 I really think South Carolina needs a park like Kentucky Kingdom considering Carowinds is mostly in North Carolina even though some parts are in South Carolina
Hard Rock Park was such a miss from a marketing standpoint. That park looked pretty cool.
@@CanobieCoaster it really was I loved it
odd to see park around wood coaster back home
Assuming you're from Japan, there aren't many woodies over there.
I’m surprised the Ferris Wheel still isn’t up yet it’s so odd
I would've loved to get some aerial shots of Swamp Fox.
Whoa you don't see uphill flumes everyday
Definitely!
They should make Vin Diesel the mascot 😆
Family......
Lol
The Slingshot Drop Tower is gone from here
Not surprised given how long it has been since it operated.
Hey I love this amusement park do you know why
Thunderbolt and Hurricane?
Hey how do you know that
What should be their next coaster?
I'd love to see something that inverts since it would be the first to do so at the park.
Canobie Coaster That would probably take a while to happen
It's fascinating how Hard Rock Park and Myrtle Beach Pavilion where much bigger than this place and yet this is the only park in town that is still in operation.
Both those parks were further back from the beach. Family Kingdom is within walking distance.
Don’t forget Gay Dolphin Park! (OK, it was small, with just one wild mouse, but it’s a shame the park didn’t make it past 1968, just for that name alone!)
Gay Dolphin still has a giant gift shop though!
Canobie Coaster So I’ve heard. A must-visit for me when I go!
Hey Can I chat with you about amusement rides
Sure, I hold live streams and take questions there!
@@ryannimmo3008 Sure
Hey I love sirens from amusement rides
I only ride Swamp Fox at Family Kingdom I don’t really like Twist & Shout
Twist & Shout was good for a ride each day, but most of my time was spent on Swamp Fox.
Looks like a less nice version of Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
I think Swamp Fox is better than Giant Dipper, but Santa Cruz as a whole is better.
I went to myrtle beach when ai was 9 and 10 and never rode this
Hopefully you can make it back someday!
Yeah, me too
I go on trips ofter
I went to myrtle beach when ai was 9 and 10 and never rode this
Swaml Fox had a 52" height requirement, which was higher than expected.
