It's a Long Way to the Top (If You Wanna Rock 'n' Roll)

The Hard Rock Park, an ode to all things rock and roll that's scheduled to open spring 2008, is taking shape in Myrtle Beach. The park's signature attraction, a 150-foot looping coaster called Led Zeppelin–The Ride, held a topping ceremony. When it debuts next year, the attraction will blast the legendary band's “Whole Lotta Love" over its onboard audio system as it blasts riders 65 mph for a wild ride. A free Backstage Tour, which offers a preview of the park, is now open at the site. See renderings and actual shots of Led Zeppelin–The Ride in my Hard Rock Park Preview Photo Gallery.
