Hard Rock / Freestyle Music Park Discussion Thread

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

^It's not a bad ride, just strangely rough for a B&M. It had the old "B&M rattle" when it opened.

With the future of Family Kingdom iffy beyond 2010, (apparently the kids of the original owner have stated no real interest in keeping the park), I'd think keeping FMP even as a "boardwalk-style" pay-per-ride park would be interesting to the area. I'm of course speaking beyond all the legalities that are stinking up the whole situation right now.

I'm just glad I got there before it closed permanently.

^Yeah, me too Guy. It was a really nice park, too bad its going down...again. lol

I just hope this park could stay open so I can have a chance to go there someday. At least if it does close for good someday, there will be some nice rides for some happy parks.

I'm a little surprised that one of the major chains doesn't put in a bid for the park. Move the coasters and other rides to their other parks. Level the land and sell it to a developer.

... but maybe even Time Machine. I just cant think of any parks that want a used B&M sitdown,.

I would be one very happy person indeed if one of our Aussie Parks purchased the Time Machine coaster, unlikely in a way, but more likely to happen over the purchase of say a Newly Manufactured B&M over here...

Sad indeed though, it honestly seemed like a decent park, and the park relaunch did seem somewhat decent, trying their best to get things correct, obviously didn't happen. I just hope the decent coasters there get picked up by parks in need of such rides.

A Delaware bankruptcy court judge has granted the owners of Freestyle Music Park an extension to pay nearly $570,000 in outstanding debt.

According to a federal court order filed Tuesday, FPI MB Entertainment LLC has until April 1 to pay back $569,151.52 in debt that was inherited with the purchase of the park. The agreement, according to court documents, was agreed on by FPI MB Entertainment and the park's court-appointed trustee, Alfred Giuliano.

While the debt was inherited from the park's previous owners, a spokeswoman for Freestyle Music Park says the park's current owners have not followed through on leasing agreements to pay back any debt owed.

The Associated Press reports Attorney Tobey Daluz says the park's owners are willing to sell the park, enter into a joint venture or any other deal that infuses capital into the company.

In addition to the mass debt owed on the park, officials have announced Freestyle Music Park has come short of its projected March 2010 opening. While officials confirm the park will open sometime in the spring, it will take at least eight weeks for the amusement to open from the moment the date is selected.

In January, owners of the Horry County attraction asked a Federal Court judge to allow for a 30-day extension to pay off leasing debts, following the filing of a lawsuit for payment.

Freestyle Music Park says its owners will respond accordingly to the judge's rulings in regards to the payment of leases.

Ok it's time to add a poll to this thread. Let's see how well TPR members can predict the future!

[coaster1000I'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

Looks like NO wins, for now at least.
