Sun Sets On Hard Rock Park

Myrtle Beach's Hard Rock Park files for chapter 11 and closed down for the "winter" season. The park is supposed to re-open in the spring of 09.

Honestly, it doesn't surprise me! For what the park has to offer the prices are to high ... it ain't no Disney Land that's for sure! The first time I was invited to go it was exciting due to it's newness, however my second visit, well, I found the park to be rather boring. And it certainly isn't family friendly.

The park's owner claims that it had to file for chapter 11 due to the current economic down turn. OK, I'll accept that. But from my vantage point, Hard Rock Park did itself in as well. At this time Myrtle Beach isn't ready for high end adventures until it begins to attract vacationers who are willing to spend on high end merchandise. As for the future of Hard Rock Park, well, we'll certainly see this coming spring ... stay turned!
