Freestyle Music Park
Hard Rock Park will be no more … in name anyway. Much to the objections of locals, the new owners have decided to rename the amusement site to Freestyle Music Park. So, the white elephant is nothing more than an old one disguised under a fresh name.
The only thing different will be the prices … anywhere from $10-$20 cheaper. It will still cost an average family of four approximately $190 just to get into the park. Once inside, on average you can expect this same family to spend another $200 on food, drinks and souvenirs.
Do I think it’s worth it? No! … Not at the current status of the park. For just under $300 one would require a great deal of enthusiasm for a venue that is lacking rides and entertainment. The park would have to make a lot of improvements to bring it up to where a family of four would want to spend their hard earned dollars. Plus, the park will have to sweet talk local business and residents into supporting the amusement park again after alienating them last season. And last but not least, the location of the park isn’t all that desirable … it’s not an area one would want to be after dark. The surrounding area is populated with warehouses and offices. Other than that, the location is pretty dismal.
The park management does promise improvements, but this is unlikely for the upcoming summer season. Therefore, if you do attend don’t expect much.
Hopefully, Freestyle Music Park will succeed. Myrtle Beach can use a good amusement park since the demise of the Pavilion, which was a tourist attraction. Therefore, I am hoping the newly named park will gets itself together and become one of our cities main attractions … god only knows we could sure use one.
Local News-Park Competition?
A new amusement park that would include a Ferris wheel, kiddy rides and a roller coaster is being planned on Ocean Boulevard in North Myrtle Beach, and it could open as soon as Aug. 1.
The park, whose name has yet to be determined, would be between Main Street and First Avenue South on the beach side of Ocean Boulevard. The park would be built around a restaurant that currently occupies part of the site. –Sun News Online
