Woman Pays Over $1,800 For 4 Seats On LED ZEPPELIN Coaster's First Public Run

April 9, 2008

Lisa Fleisher of MyrtleBeachOnline.com reports that one Horry County woman is paying $654 more than $4 per second to ride the signature roller coaster at Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Cindy Ennis, 45, said she is the top bidder in a charity eBay auction for seats on Led Zeppelin - The Ride's first public run.

The park this week auctioned off 15 seats, and Ennis said she snagged four two in the front row, two in the second row for a total of $1,829.

"I'm not a roller coaster enthusiast," she said. "But it was just the idea of being so close [to the front of the ride], and being the first of something that's really what did it."

Plus, she said, the money would go to charity.

The first public ride will be held April 15, when the $400 million, 55-acre park off of U.S. 501 will open to a paying audience for the first time.
