Miracle Strip Amusement Park was a theme park located in Panama City Beach, Florida. It operated from 1963 to 2004 and featured multiple rides, including Dante's Inferno, pictured here. After the park closed, a few of its rides were taken apart and moved to different parks. Some remained and slowly decayed for the next 5 years until the park was leveled. Today, the only remains of the park are sidewalks, concrete barriers, foundations and the main thoroughfare, which is overgrown with weeds. Sources: BeachTV and Steve Sobczuk
