Miracle Strip Amusement Park 1988 (Part 2)

[@johnpinegar8027]

Back in the good old days. What a great time to be young. Glad I was a kid during this time and went here many times.

[@Lsp1968]

Lots of great memories at that park im proud to say that I grew up in the 80s some of the best times of my life

[@yakinbama]

So many great memories from my childhood made at this place. Thank you for this. More than you know 🙏

Great memories. We went there all the time. They really don't make them like they used to.

The Snowman contained a Scrambler ride inside. The big Devil head had, I think, a Bayern Kurve ride or a Music Express. It was very cool to have these indoor structures containing common amusement park rides; it added to the immersion and experience. Miracle Strip also had two different "haunted" houses; a standard dark ride in a tracked car, and a walk-through house. The walk-through was particularly awesome because of the freedom; you could stay in it for hours if you wanted. It featured a terrifying little bit of fun where you'd walk out onto a tiny little landing on the second floor that bore a sign saying "Look up!" and when you stepped out, the whole landing suddenly tilted down a degree or two, making you feel like it was breaking and falling off. A real sphincter-clincher, that one. The Paratrooper ride was one of my favorites as a kid. The Starliner was the very first roller coaster I ever rode in my life. So many great memories there overall. I miss it.

The devil had a trabant ride inside.

[@PetersPianoShoppe]

@@vcrcooking Yes, I remember now. You're absolutely right! Forgot about that.

[@sawyerthestarling]

@@PetersPianoShoppe I will never ever forget that drop in the haunted house and at ten, I was the perfect age for it. I just moved to Destin and lived in central Alabama most of my life so Miracle Strip and Show Biz were always two huge deals to us as kids. Every time I see the Miracle Strip Parkway on a sign I feel a twinge of nostalgia and how I may never have that exact kind of fun again in my life. Awesome memories. 🖤

@@sawyerthestarling Showbiz still lives on!!!!! Miracle Strip not so much :(

[@sawyerthestarling]

@@SmittysSuperService Every time I happen to be in a Chuck E Cheese I look at the machines and they read Showbiz Pizza Inc and it somehow soothes a little of the nostalgia.

Awe,man I just saw the video of miracle strip...Omg I spent every summer there,my 2 most favorite rides were the paratrooper,and the Dante's inferno....of I love the snowman to,and the logride,of course the music Express is always good. Damn thinking back of all the good times we had. I miss that place.

[@jasonbeaudyne6815]

What made it more "exciting" there was that ALL the rides were poorly constructed and rickety.......and I loved every minute of them.

[@tamrn007]

So many memories!! I remember Barren Kurve and Musik Express. I grew up going to MSAP and it was the highlight of our beach vacation. Good times!

[@CoasterMan13Official]

If that park were still open, I would've went on so many rides!

[@chocolatedonutthunder6041]

The ride at 1:58 played AC/DC You Shook Me All Night Long when I rode it in the 80's. YEAH BABY!

[@dariusdise]

Yes! I remember the abominable snowman ride. Rotating, spinning ride. Loud music. Icy cold on the inside. Everybody wore sunbritches and windbreakers and parachute pants. Petticoat Junction closed down. Simpler times.

[@chocolatedonutthunder6041]

The Snowman was th BEST ride there! I remember inside that icy cold snowman ride they played Planet Rock and we all just lost our MINDS when that song came on! lol lol

[@navyplumberboy8274]

I remember it too. Mirrors inside and all! Lets not forget dantes inferno!

[@jennifermoore7263]

Man I miss this place

[@adidas1984x]

I wish u had video of the haunted house and the dungeon. I remember when they added the bigger shockwave ride and had the old house . Many good memories

[@vcrcooking]

I thought about riding that but this was a HUGE shoulder camera that didn't do well in dim situations. I felt nerdy as it was walking though the park with this thing as a 5th grader hahaha.

[@adidas1984x]

@@vcrcooking your a hero for making this video (before vloging was a thing. )

[@BetaMaxxX]

Went every summer as a kid in the 70s to 80s - my Aunt sold tickets at the entrance so we would go for free when we came to Florida to visit family and vacation. Good times. Thanks for sharing

[@anthonybschannel8664]

great video vcrcooking. i'm working on a project for a 3D map of Miracle Strip. its currently in the rough draft stages and i would like to know if you have a full POV of the log flume ride they had there. so many pictures of the full park don't show the full extent of the ride and the ones that do are obstructed by the trees that the ride goes in and out of. if you or anyone that so happened to drop by can help i'd greatly appreciate it. thank you.

[@SmittysSuperService]

Any map progress?? Would LOVE A 3d model of Dante or Snowman or Haunted Castle!!!!

[@dacawone]

Way more fun than the shopping plaza they put up after demolishing the park. Because... "muh progress."

[@wharfier]

Best flat ride ever! We were lucky to have three Bayern Kurves in Ohio!

[@FreakyAttractions]

Hi there, out of curiosity would you mind if I used this footage in a video I am making about the park?

[@vcrcooking]

Yes that's fine.

[@FreakyAttractions]

vcrcooking thanks so much!
