Title: The Most Amazing Place on Earth...is closing it's doors
Post by: KickTheBobo on January 07, 2009, 07:23:24 PM
Why did I not know about Hard Rock Park (http://www.hardrockpark.com/index.cfm), until now?! Apparently this place was a total bust, and will be shutting down in the coming months.

I can't believe that I'll never experience such rockin' attractions (http://www.hardrockpark.com/parkattractions.cfm) as:

Led Zeppelin The Ride - Get ready for Hard Rock Park's signature rollercoaster that sends you 15 stories high, 65 mph and loops six times, all set to Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love".

It begins at a huge airship, as if you are stepping onto the cover of Led Zeppelin's debut album. Once inside, Led Zeppelin music and videos play throughout the queue, leading to a studio area where rockers are treated to a moving, multimedia show before climbing aboard the coaster.

The Punk Pit -Slam-dancing for the whole family may sound a bit strange, but Mom, Dad, the kids and even toddlers will have a slam-tastic time at this wild attraction in Piccadilly Circus. This rowdy, raucous bounce-house has been specially designed to accommodate every member of the family.

and

Love Shack Snacks -  Tangy, saucy and a little cheesy… this totally 80’s eatery offers Sandwiches from the heart of the USA like Philly Cheese Steaks, BLTs, Meatball Subs! Yum!

They should have stolen The Doors ride from Oliver Stoneland.

I wonder if he'd approve of the faux Keith Harring sign.

Hopefully, it will reopen as Brian Wilson's "Pleasure Island: A Rock Fantasy."
