The final piece of the Hurricane roller coaster came down this morning at the Myrtle Beach Pavilion Amusement Park.

Charleston-based Lowcountry Wrecking pulled the final piece, the coaster's large vertical climb, on its side shortly after 9 a.m.

Since rolling onto the site in December, the crew has used excavators, claws and even the occasional chainsaw to pull apart the landmark, including a building on the oceanfront that had been around for 58 years -- surviving hurricanes and the corrosive sea air but giving way to the pressure of redeveloping the pricey land.

Heaps of concrete sit ready to be recycled into road-making material. The few clusters of trees poking up from the busted up cement stand out, ready for a landscaper to take them to a new home.

No one wanted the bulky Haunted Hotel, which spooked kids for years, or the six-year-old Hurricane roller coaster, so both came down. B&C kept just about everything else to use at its other properties.
