Welcome to the Hard Rock Park !

The Hard Rock now has a theme park located just off of US 501 in Myrtle Beach. The theme park opened this spring & has many things to do for all ages.


The parking lot & park lacked the typical crowds. This was an advatage, we parked close to the enterance & we were able to ride the lines over & over again. I guess you can contribute this to it being the first year & tourists are set in their ways of visiting the same attratctions likeBroadway at the Beach & Barefoot Landing.

The park has several different theme sections:

Rock & Roll Heaven
British Invasion
Lost in the 70's
Born in the USA
Cool Country


Favorites:

Led Zeppelin- Located in Rock & Roll Heaven. My son's favorite ride. This rollercoaster that sends you 15 stories high, 65 mph and loops six times, all set to Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love". Video cameras are in each car & records every emotion of the experience.










Maximum RPM- Located in the British Invasion. My daughter's favorite. While waiting in line, (there was no line when we were there) you can do karaoke. Once you are on the car, you are take on a ferris-wheel-type steel structure that lifts cars and riders up into place for their roller-coaster ride drop. And I'm talking a steep drop. There is also a speedometer that show the speed of the coaster. I noted 162 mph on our last ride for the night.








Life in the Fast Lane-This is my favorite. THis is about 2 minute-long ride & the longest coaster ride at the Park. You can enjoy the Eagles Life In The Fast Lane audio during the entire ride.






Some pictures from around the park.

Disney Update

I need your help. My friends on facebook have left my some ideas, but I want to hear from you. I did hear that there are great deals like stay 4 nights get 3 nights free. 1. What is the best time of the year to go? We were thinking early June. Maybe the second week. 2. Where to stay? We were thinking in the park. 3. Do we buy the meal plans? Some suggestions: Take your beautiful little girl to Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boutique and make her a princess for an hour! Buy the meal plan if you're staying in a Disney resort- it's really, really, really cost-effective. And whatever you do, avoid 'It's a Small World'- it will turn you into a homicidal maniac. Try to find some books- knows the titles of some. They really helped me when we went. There's also some websites--she knows the addresses too! Good luck! It's a fun place & worth the time & effort.
