Hard Rock Park @ Myrtle Beach

OUR FIRST (& 2nd) VISIT TO HARD ROCK PARK,
MYRTLE BEACH

We decided to spend 4th of July at Myrtle Beach with our friends, the Brigmans. Bobby had been dying to go to Hard Rock Park so he was one happy camper. He invited his pal from school, Cross, and they had a great time at the beach & at the park. We arrived at Hard Rock at 10 am and didn't leave until around 2pm. Then we went back that same night for several hours. In case you don't know, Hard Rock Park is designed in sections according to decades or types of rock music. There's a lot of interesting sights and lots & lots of great music. Believe it or not, the 4 of us actually got "trapped" on a ride...everyone else got off except us...the bars wouldn't raise up!! They had to call a mechanic & a supervisor. It took about 5-10 minutes to free us and then we got a certificate for free drinks.

Of course, the BEST ride of all was "Led Zeppelin: the Ride" a huge, scary, fun, fun, fun roller coaster! Gib rode it once, I rode it twice; Bobby & Cross rode it 6 times and would've ridden all day & night if we had let them! We really had a good time!!




Some sort of sun goddess...I guess :)
