A Delaware bankruptcy judge on Thursday approved Hard Rock Park's proposal to auction itself off to the highest bidder.

The park, which called itself the world's first rock 'n' roll theme park when it opened in April, ended its ride in September when it closed and filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Editor's note: Downtown Myrtle Beach faces its first summer without its longtime landmark, The Myrtle Beach Pavilion Amusement Park. The Sun News will show how the area copes by following several businesses through the season.

The absence of The Myrtle Beach Pavilion Amusement Park is having drastically different effects on the businesses that remain along Ocean Boulevard, depending on the type of business and its location.

Crowds still flock to the area as they have every summer - though no one has official numbers to compare to previous years - but the stores and attractions those tourists frequent are being shaped by the 11-acre hole the park has left.
