This story has been runing locally here for a few days. Just an FYI for those who have travel plans for Myrtle Beach that those now can't include HRP. It's now closed and only has a skeleton staff to maintain it. Along with the previously mentioned now cancelled Rocktoberfest there were also some Christmas event planned also now not going to happen. They are now saying season pass holders can get them honored at Six Flags. Projected reopening is spring of next year.

We used to love the “Hard Rock Cafe.” When we went to Vegas, it was our first stop, because we would get in around 11:00 and be hungry. But the last time we went, the quality of the food had gone WAAAAYYY downhill.

I didn’t even know such a theme park existed til now. Might have been part of the problem.

An ambitious amusement park, designed around better economic times. Their attendance numbers were killed by high gas prices, and high admission prices. The concept is centered around music and a name that is a little dated for your typical amusement park age groups, too.

I don’t get it. How can you be a rock-n-roll rebel at a theme park? Especially at $50 a head???

“The Man got you down? Tired of doing things HIS way? Dude, for $50, you can have it YOUR way! At the Hard Rock Theme Park...”

I took my daughter there in August on a Monday, there was almost nobody there, we stood in line for one ride all day (and that was NOT the Led Zeppin coaster). I’m not surprised, as a theme park, it kinda sucked. It is TINY as far as parks go. For $50 (less with AAA), I’ll drive to Charlotte and go to Carowinds even though it’s more than twice as far.

LZ was a fun coaster, and we rode it about 8 times. Not enough fun for the $$.

Hip-Hop Park.... woulda cinched it!

Maybe they should get Led Zepplin to play concerts there.

Probably hurt decisively by the boycott of South Carolina by the NAACP because of its flag. [/sarcasm]

I was there in August and the attendance was high. It was unique. My one question was why they chose Myrtle Beach instead of either the Orlando or Los Angeles areas for their location. There was a southern rock section of the park with an awesome Texas boot-scooting boogie ice skating show. The ‘60’s Surf City was cute, too and the rides was good.
