We are in Myrtle Beach today, one of the most popular destinations for families here in South Carolina for so many reasons, and while I am no stranger to the Grand Strand, there is one view of this 60 miles of uninterrupted beach, that I have yet to see from the sky.
So let's go for it!
♪ Y'all, I'm here with Rachel Beckerman here at the SkyWheel, Myrtle Beach.
Rachel can you tell me why you think it is that the SkyWheel has become such an iconic picture and experience when people come to Myrtle Beach?
<Rachel> First is that nostalgic, that old school Ferris wheel that people remember from the carnivals and things like that, but it really is just that, you know, family, fun experience that you could do with everyone and it's something new and exciting and different and it's the best place to view the Myrtle Beach skyline.
<Devyn> Absolutely!
So I can imagine that you have seen a lot of different reactions from your time here from people going up.
What has been a standout?
What's been your favorite?
<Rachel> I think the most impact that I've ever seen is somebody having a gender reveal where we actually light the wheel blue and pink.
We kind of rotate back and forth and then it lands on their gender.
And to see those reactions... <Devyn> Oh, my gosh!
<Rachel> ...of finding out if they're having a boy or girl in the sky lit up is unbelievable.
It's unlike anything else.
<Devyn> That is amazing.
I would have never thought of something like that, but how fun and creative!
<Rachel> Yes, yes!
<Devyn> So why do you think that people should experience South Carolina from the sky?
<Rachel> Well, it's just such a unique experience.
It's the only place that you can actually get that beautiful majestic view of the Grand Strand.
You can see for miles and miles and what better place to see it?
In the sky and get to see this beautiful South Carolina view.
<Devyn> Awesome, well I can't wait to go see it, so let's go for it!
<Rachel> Alright, sounds good!
♪ snappy music ♪ ♪ SkyWheel, Myrtle Beach has become such an iconic fixture on the Grand Strand, and I am so excited that I got to take it in today from the top.
Whether it is a view, an experience, or a meal, there's always something new to discover in South Carolina and the next time you wanna try something for the first time, you should just go for it!
