Hard Rock Park 10 years Later - well this week marks the 10 year anniversary of the opening of the Hard Rock Theme Park in Myrtle Beach SC. The Hard Rock Park was going to be a music based theme park in Myrtle Beach that was promoted as the next Disneyland or Universal Studios for Myrtle Beach and all I can say is, "what a long strange trip it's been".
The Hard Rock Theme Park was going to have rides like the ever popular Led Zeppelin roller coaster. Local Myrtle Beach Real Estate Agents were telling tales of Myrtle Beach Real Estate prices doubling because of the added volume of visitors and business. Well even if we could take a ride in the imaginary time machine and explained to everyone how timing in life is everything it still would not have saved the Hard Rock Theme Park.
Myrtle Beach is a popular family destination with free beaches and affordable prices. Family Kingdom is a local amusement park that offers all day ride with the purchase of a wrist band for around $20.00 a day. Also parents who do not go on rides can accompany the kids in Family Kingdom for free. The Hard Rock Park used to charge anyone entering the Park a hefty fee just for entering the Park, even if they do not use the rides.
Today I ride by the location of the old Hard Rock theme Park and see the parking lot overgrown with grass and the vacant space that used to hold the "future of Myrtle Beach". It's sad to think of all the million of dollars lost on this dream and ride by the every day reminder of what might have been.
Real Estate prices in Myrtle Beach never doubled but the Real Estate Market is doing well. New attraction rallies and sporting events to the Myrtle Beach area are opening in Myrtle Beach with creative business plans and are helping the Myrtle Beach area thrive.
