News: Myrtle Beach Grand Prix to close

By Joseph

Sep. 8th, 2006 -- Officials for North Myrtle Beach's Grand Prix Family Thrill Park have announced their intentions to close the park and redevelop the land, to make the property more lucrative.

The family owned park in South Carolina will join the Myrtle Beach Pavilion in permanently closing the gates this month. Therefore, Family Kingdom will be the only park in the area.

Developers are planning to replace the facility, known for its go-karts and assorted amusement rides, with a 100,000 square foot shopping center.
