Hard Rock Park, the world’s first rock ‘n’ roll theme park, has broken
ground in Myrtle Beach. Slated to open next spring, the park is the
single largest tourism investment in South Carolina’s history.Hard
Rock Park will be an approximately 140-acre theme park boasting more
than 40 attractions for rockers of all ages, including two roller
coasters, shows, children’s play areas, restaurants, cafes and retail
stores, a multi-purpose live music amphitheatre, and ultra-modern sound
system specifically developed for the project.
Six distinct “rock environs” celebrating rock’s culture, lifestyle,
legends and irreverence will comprise the park:
• All Access Entry Plaza, a shopping venue and public space designed
in a blend of mission and warehouse styles;
• Rock & Roll Heaven, a behind-the-music venue where visitors can
explore the influences of music stars;
• British Invasion, a celebration rock 'n' roll, English-style;
• Lost in the '70s, a large, indoor mall highlighting the punk, disco
and glam music styles;
• Born in the USA, a salute the birthplace and "melting pot" of rock;
and
• Cool Country, a celebration of country music. |
