About Miracle Strip At Pier Park
The original Miracle Strip Amusement Park that was a much loved part of Panama City Beach for many years, closed in 2004. In 2009, we bought the original Carousel that still sat under the show pavilion in a direlect tractor trailer on the original MSAP property and moved it to Pier Park. After having a wonderful first season, in 2010 we then bought the 2 remaining rides from MSAP, the Balloon Race and the Red Baron Ride. After much searching, we found the same make and model Big Eli Ferris Wheel in California since we could not buy the original MSAP Ferris Wheel. All rides were refurbished and brought back to their original glory keeping the feel of yesteryear and Miracle Strip @ Pier Park was born. In 2011, we added a Scrambler and Tilt-a-Whirl as requested by our customers as well as a Butterfly Pavilion. You will find that our park is quaint and surreal with beautiful hanging baskets filled with gorgeous flowers and flower boxes over flowing our fencing. We are a beautiful park with amusements. Adding the Butterfly Pavilion fit in perfectly to the look and feel of Miracle Strip @ Pier Park. Each year we hope to add something new and we know many of you wait with much anticipation!
The original Miracle Strip Amusement Park had a special place in many people’s hearts. We will never be as big or try to be like the great Amusement park they created, we know that it cannot be replicated. We at Miracle Strip @ Pier Park hope to help you and your family make new memories from riding rides from your youth among beautiful landscaping and a view of the Gulf. Come out and enjoy an evening among all the lights and beauty and step back in time. We promise you will enjoy it!
March 2010, Miracle Strip was reborn at Pier Park… all be it in a much smaller version. Our vision is to keep a retro feel…simple rides, simple games, simple fun. We are starting small and will expand in a measured and profitable way to ensure our success.
