A new family amusement park is in the planning for North Myrtle Beach.

Mark Lazarus, who owns other local amusement properties, says he plans to put a ferris wheel and kiddie rides at the end of Main Street.

Lazarus says he wants to give families something to do in that area.

He says he hopes to have a deal worked out within a couple of weeks to have temporary rides installed.

If it goes well, he says it'll be more permanent next year.

The park won't open until August.
