Around Myrtle Beach

Hard Rock Comes To Life!

Well, Hard Rock Park will be re-opening this spring. Personally, I hope that this time around the park will succeed, but before I get to optimistic the park has a lot it needs to do before it can regain respect and appreciation.

Hard Rock Park owners has announced that the park’s original theme will remain, however they will be adding more children’s rides, which will be a good thing since Myrtle Beach proclaims itself as a “family vacation destination”, and thus kids … lots of kids!

It is rumored that prices will be lowered. The average entry price will be between $30 and $40 with local’s receiving a discount. As for the cost of annual passes, refreshments and food, there has been no mentioning whether or not those prices will be lowered. Under the previous owner refreshment and food prices were outrageous and not all that good.

As long as the park adds more rides, not just for children but for adults too, improve food quality, keep prices reasonably low, provide up to date entertainment, it just might float. However, with the reputation it already gave itself, winning back those guests who were not happy with their visit from last year, as well as new guests will not be easy. The park already has a black eye. Its failure has been national broadcasted and will have to work extra hard to turn it’s tainted reputation around. If it can do this, the park could very well be one of Myrtle Beach’s sought after destination.

Access to Hard Rock Park’s website is posted under Around Myrtle Beach.

Stay tuned!

Bye-bye Bike Rally!

Thanks to Adolph Rhodes, our wonderful idiot of a Mayor, Myrtle beach has officially packed up the welcome carpet to all bikers … simply put, we don’t want you! Well, for those of us who financially depend on the Harley-Davidson Rallies will have to continue standing in the unemployment lines a while longer until our crazy Mayor can come up with something that will replace dollars lost due to his and the city councils decision to stifle our local economy. Nearly 50,000 attendees will no longer drop their cash into our local pockets … a huge cut for all who depend on their dollars. This year, the Harley-Davidson bike rally will be held in New Bern, North Carolina.

Thank you Mr. Mayor for your heartless and senseless decision!
