So long, Giant Abominable Snowman statue...

Shed a tear because this week the giant Abominable Snowman statue that graces the entrance to a ride at the Miracle Strip Amusement Park in Panama City Beach, Florida might be DESTROYED.

Details of its eminent destruction here.



It was built in 1963 at the height of the yeti's first rise in popularity.



The park officially closed in 2004, and certain rides have been moved to other locations.



But not the giant Abominable Snowman statue. It will be destroyed, unless someone maybe buys it on Craigslist or eBay.

It's sad to see Miracle Strip go. Though it's been sad seeing it empty for the past few years, I can't really imagine Panama City Beach without it. I had always hoped it would be revived.

As a Pensacolian, I don't want to see him go! :(
