Roll over, Disneyworld. Starting next year, America’s got a new top destination for mullet nation. The brains and bucks behind Hard Rock Cafe have announced plans to open Hard Rock Park, a 140-acre theme park in Myrtle Beach, SC, boasting 40 rock ‘n’ roll rides and Carnaby Street Cafe. (Featuring lava lamps and specializing in traditional British fare! Delicious.). The press release details a couple of the attractions:
Music will set the tune in coasters including Maximum RPM!, a convertible car-coaster that races to 80s new age hits and Midnight Rider, a Southern Rock roller coaster that careens through a creepy abandoned lumber mill. Children’s play areas abound, including Reggae River Falls, a whimsical Jamaican-themed water play area and Garage Jam! a foam ball play-station.
You wanna know how hard this park is gonna rock? Go to the website, click on “Back Stage Tour,” and listen to the sweet manna that emits from your computer speakers.
Clearly, CEO Steve Goodwin needs some help with those rides. You know your ice cream; got some theme park attracions in ya? Mr. Trey’s Wild Ride?

“Dolly Parton’s Magic Mounds Ride”
When I was in Orlando on vacation, I ate at the Hard Rock Cafe in Universal Studios. It was an awesome setup, and I’ll bet the Hard Rock Cafe Park will be no exception. The music is sure to be a hot topic, too.
I know DisneyWorld has an Aerosmith roller coaster, but that’s the only rock coaster I know of. I’ll bet the HR Park will have tons; I’d love to go seeing as I’m a roller coaster fanatic.
I can’t believe someone is seriously excited about the hard rock cafe park.
how about the ‘corporate bastardization of rock free fall- to hell!’
or just the ‘highway to hell coaster’
this sounds terrible
this will all end in tears.
“a convertible car-coaster that races to 80s new age hits”
New Age hits? Cause nothing contributes more to an EXTREME adrenaline rush than a heaping slab of Enya.
Hard Rock Cafe Park – Something Here Will Make You Vomit
Wow. Not that i know a lot about phish, but i had all of them pegged as just psychadelic and milder such drugs. I would not have pegged the guy to be carrying heroin.
OK, lighten up people, I’m really looking forward to the park opening, and by the way it’s Hard Rock Park, not Hard Rock Cafe Park. Also, for the roller coaster Maximum RPM, they don’t play ’80s new age hits (how does that even make sense?) it’s ’80s new wave hits, there’s a big difference.
There will be 5 rollercoasters, one of which is a little tame, ya know, for the kids.
Actually, currently there’s 3 coasters and a water coaster at the moment. Maximum RPM is due to be finished mid June. Led Zeppelin the Ride is pretty cool, and so is some other stuff. If you’re in Myrtle Beach, I’d check it out, today was my second time, I was there for the Good Morning America thing (They gave free tickets to the first 100 people)
