Report: Hard Rock Park Files Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Claim

September 25, 2008

According to Coaster-net.com, the Hard Rock Park rock 'n' roll theme park in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina which opened in April 2008 has announced that it will not be open for the rest of the 2008 season. Hard Rock Park has filed a Chapter 11 bankruptcy claim, which means that the business can have time to reconstruct its debts while also continuing to operate. The park said it will open for 2009, but with all the recent problems the park has been suffering, only time will tell if it truly will open or not.

Hard Rock Park was previously described as an approximately 140-acre theme park boasting more than 40 attractions for rockers of all ages, including roller coasters, shows, children's play areas, restaurants, cafes and retail stores, a multi-purpose live music amphitheatre, and ultra-modern sound system specifically developed for the project, creating a totally immersive full-day experience.

The park's signature roller coaster, Led Zeppelin - The Ride (see video below),towers more than 150 feet into the sky (15 stories tall),serving as a landmark that helps travelers pinpoint Hard Rock Park whether arriving by air or land. The ride is most notable for the iconic relationship with band members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, who have contributed to all aspects of Led Zeppelin - The Ride, including the ride's name, logo and overall look and feel of the vehicles.
