News

Following a month of non-stop celebration, special events and festivities, Hard Rock Park is really blowing the gates off, literally. In a nod to its music heritage, the Park blew open the front gates to the world’s very first rock ‘n’ roll theme park Monday, signalling to guests of all ages that this summer’s most not-to-be-missed destination is officially open and ready to rock their worlds.

Hard Rock Park’s two-day Grand Opening Extravaganza  was launched  with the "Save the Planet Invitational, " a star-studded celebrity golf tournament presented by Olsen Family Vineyards and hosted by PGA TOUR professional Peter Jacobsen. Some of the music world’s most legendary artists participated, including Darryl (DMC) McDaniels, Edwin McCain, and band members of ZZ Top, Aerosmith, Cheap Trick and Sister Hazel. The celebration was triggered with an extraordinary red carpet ceremony at the Park’s massive iron front gates, leading into an exclusive concert performance by the Eagles. The festivities continued Tuesday, with renowned British rock band, The Moody Blues, who commemorated the official opening of the Park’s psychedelic, Moody Blues-inspired dark ride, Nights in White Satin The Trip. An unprecedented live performance from The Moody Blues, accompanied by Myrtle Beach’s Long Bay Symphony orchestra, followed at Hard Rock Park’s Live amphitheater.

"There is no doubt about it, Hard Rock Park has arrived, " said Steven Goodwin, CEO of Hard Rock Park. "We’ve truly created an experience that the entire family can enjoy together. There is nothing else like this anywhere."

Rockers of all ages can now enjoy the Park’s thrilling rides and attractions, including Led Zeppelin — The Ride and Eagles Life In The Fast Lane and live shows, such as Malibu Beach Party, Roadies Stunt Show and Country on the Rocks ice show.

Hard Rock Park is a 55-acre theme park boasting more than 50 attractions for rockers of all ages, including roller coasters, live shows and entertainment, children’s play areas, restaurants and retail stores.
