Hard Rock Park will be an approximately 140-acre theme park boasting more than 40 attractions for rockers of all ages, including 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, creating a totally immersive full day experience. Aging thrill-seekers who once streamed to Led Zeppelin concerts will soon be able to scream on the "Stairway to Heaven" 150-foot-high roller coaster in South Carolina. The Hard Rock Park Road to Myrtle Beach Tour Beginning today, Hard Rock Park will hit the road in true rock fashion and embark on a six-city tour designed to spread news of Myrtle Beach's newest attraction. Dubbed "The Hard Rock Park Road to Myrtle Beach Tour," which will be a traveling exhibition headlined by The Beatles‚ beloved Magical Mystery Tour Bus, which represents the first piece of memorabilia donated to the Park by Hard Rock International. The tour will visit Hard Rock Cafes in major East Coast cities and collect pieces of rock memorabilia from each. Representing a bit of musical history from their respective cities, the memorabilia will ultimately find a permanent home within the Park for all to enjoy. Items such as a wall from the iconic underground rock venue, CBGB's will be donated by the New York cafe, while a white studded cape owned and worn on stage by Elvis Presley will be presented to the Park by the cafe in Memphis. As part of the tour, the popular rock band Sister Hazel will serve as the Park's official "rock emissaries," and perform at the Cafes at each tour stop. Limited edition items, including Road to Myrtle Beach t-shirts and Hard Rock Park tickets will be available for purchase at each event. Rock and roll enthusiasts in the following cities can participate in the free events at local Hard Rock Cafes: New York City, April 9 Cleveland, April 10 Pittsburgh, April 11 Memphis, April 14 Nashville, April 15 Atlanta, April 17 The Hard Rock Park Backstage Tour The tour will culminate in Myrtle Beach at the Hard Rock Park site, beginning at 8:00 a.m. on April 18 with a concert that evening featuring Sister Hazel and The Marshall Tucker Band to celebrate the official opening of the Park's preview center.
