Miracle Strip "Evicted"

Featured Replies

I don't know the reasons why they couldn't pony up, but it is very sad to see happy places go down like this.

That is sad, I was really cheering for this park especially since Starliner used to promoted as being rebuilt.

So why if the rent payment had not been paid in over a year, is the owner of the property just now forcing them out?  What kind of disagreement did they have with the operators that made them want to get ride of them?

Nope. If you saw it, and at least one user here did this summer, you'd not say that. I'd say it was being fixed up to flip and the sale didn't go through quickly enough or fell through.

In my opinion as a first-time guest to PCB this summer, there is absolutely a market there for a small park like this...

 

...but not in the condition that Miracle Strip was in when I visited. Unfortunately, there was a lot of work that needed to be done here, and it was evident during my trip to Miracle Strip that there wasn't enough invested to get a quality park going. The location was fantastic, the scene was fantastic, but the park itself needed some love. The re-construction of the Starliner coaster was being heavily promoted in the area, but there wasn't a hair of construction going on (even though it was supposed to be open in 2015). 

PCB is a luxury area. When people go, they want to have a fun, upscale experience. Miracle Strip was fun for an enthusiast and first-time visitor, but didn't fit the stereotypical PCB vibe. It needed investment, and there wasn't much there.

Hopefully the historic, traditional rides are able to be saved and moved elsewhere. Their one roller coaster, a 1970 Galaxy, was a lot of fun. The area surrounding the park was beautiful and well-kept. The park itself? Not so much.

 

At the height of PCB's vacationer season in late July, and on a Friday night, there were maybe 50 people in the park. Maybe. That says all that needs to be said.

 

If any of you have questions for someone who was able to go to Miracle Strip earlier this season, I will do my best to answer what I can.
