Well folks, our last curiosity has just been solved. We have finally discovered that the Bill Tracy attraction at Astro Needle Park in Myrtle Beach, SC was called “Space Monster”. Based on a newly-discovered photo, submitted by Wayne Aiken who runs www.MyrtleBeachRemembered.com, an awesome website dedicated to Myrtle Beach history, it’s clear the attraction had a Hush-Puppy ride system and a beautiful Tracy facade to boot. As seen behind the dip, it included pyschdelic spinning wheels similar to other Tracy rides such as his Whacky Shacks. Although this ride only had a lifespan of about a decade, it surely looks like it would have been quite an experience.
