Myrtle Beach Hotels and Condos feature attraction. See our helpful time saving map. In 2008, on April 15th. Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach, SC officially opened and changed the landscape of Myrtle Beach, S.C. Over $450 million was invested by the Rank Group, headquartered in London, England, in this Myrtle Beach Theme park with over 50 ride attractions. The 140 acre Myrtle Beach theme park opened to a brisk 44 degree temperature on a day when most Americans were thinking about tax deadlines.Hard Rock Theme Park features Myrtle Beach roller coasters, shows, children's play areas, Hard rock park themed restaurants, cafes and Hard rock park and related retail stores. Hard Rock Park will also feature a live music amphitheater that officially opens at $250 per ticket showing the Eagles in concert later this Spring. The Rank Group also has a Gaming Division, not related to the park that represents over half of the holding company's operating profit and comprises three main activities: Mecca Bingo, Grosvenor Casinos and Blue Square. Mecca is their bingo operator in the United Kingdom with 117 bingo clubs and more than 5 million members. Grosvenor Casinos is a casino business with 41 licenses under the Grosvenor and Hard Rock brands and 1.2 million registered members. Blue Square is a United Kingdom Internet and telephone betting business that the firm is also related to. Hard Rock Cafe International was acquired by Rank during the 1990s and Rank now owns 120 Hard Rock Cafes and 13 Hard Rock Hotels and Casinos in more than 40 countries including the Myrtle Beach Hard Rock Cafe located at Broadway at the Beach. Rank's American headquarters are Orlando, Florida. Comments made earlier this year by Hard Rock Park included: The 140-acre rock 'n' roll theme park located at Fantasy Harbor on the George Bishop Parkway will open its gates for the first time next spring 2008, said Steven Goodwin, chief operating officer of HRP Management Corp. Horry county approved the development plan for Hard Rock Park in the summer of 2006, but the park has been on the drawing board for years. As of 2007 developers began follwing that plan as they were laying out details of the foundation and infrastructure of the park. The Hard Rock name has been successfull in the casino, hotel and cafe businesses, but the Myrtle Beach amusement park is a first. A state-of-the-art sound systems was designed specifically for the theme park and the venue holds a vast collection of unique memorabilia pieces from the history of rock 'n' roll including cars and oversized concert stage props as the Myrtle Beach Amusement park will reflect Hard Rock's commitment to music, featuring six unique, custom-designed zones celebrating rock's culture, lifestyle, legends and irreverence. Governor Mark Sanford, of South Carolina, said in a prepared statement that Hard Rock Park represents the largest single investment in tourism infrastructure in South Carolina's history. Included in the project's design is a bridge linking Hard Rock Park to Highway 17 at the Coastal Grand Mall. The building of what will be called the Fantasy Harbour bridge is expected to be completed by 2009 and will offer Myrtle Beach vacationers another access across the Intracoastal Waterway directly into the theme park. The park features live music concerts nightly and Led Zeppelin, the ride. This roller coaster blasts the 70's mega hit, Whole Lotta Love, into the ears of thrill seekers as it does flips, twirls and spins. This ride is all about speed, dips, and spins. Make sure to spend a day at Hard Rock Park if you are planning a Myrtle Beach Resort vacation in 2008. Visit Hard Rock Park. Other Myrtle Beach attractions. Myrtle Beach Parasailing.

For thrills, spills, and everything cool, your family can't beat Myrtle Beach and Myrtle Waves Water park. Myrtle Waves Water Park located on the corner of 10th Avenue North and Highway 17 bypass, features the area's best water park rides including the Ocean in Motion wave pool, the Lay Zee river ride that meanders throughout and around the medium sized park, Saturation Station, an interactive water play structure with a tipping bucket, and an array of exciting water slides. You will find Myrtle Waves near these. Kids love the saturation station, especially the little tikes between the ages of toddler to nine. Saturation Station is a great place to stay cool as the rain trees cascade water over the entire area. Kid play activities abound and mom and dad can make some cherished memories with toddlers. Make sure to bring your cameras so as to bring back home a keep sake that will last a lifetime. Some of Myrtle Waves' most requested rides are the Turbo Twisters. These are the world's tallest wild enclosed body slides that twist and turn Earthward. The rides are very dark and the rider never knows when the next twist or turn is coming. The one hundred foot tall Turbo Twisters are an imposing sight from the launching area. Its spaghetti-bowl of three interconnecting purple slides look impossibly steep and twisty. As riders walk up the steps to the launching area sounds of muffled screams echoing from inside the slides add to the suspense. Without any visual cues, it's impossible to get a sense where the ride is heading and hard to determine the speed--but rest assured it's fast and deliriously fun. From the get-go, riders tear out, but when they navigate one of the tubes' nearly vertical dips, they REALLY pick up speed. The splash ramp at the end of the ride makes for a soft and slow exit. The Arooba Tooba at Myrtle Waves is a spinning toilet bowl ride. Riders finally get a chance to feel what it is like to be a flushed gold fish. The ride circles in a frantic downward motion in a wet and thrilling fashion. Lines for the Aruba Tooba attraction can get long. The Ocean Motion water park is a great place to soak up the sun, catch a wave, or just hang out and eat from one of the many Myrtle Waves Theme park vendors nearby. Snow Cones are great in those mid Summer days,...
