DenDen- I usually agree with most of your posts but I have to challenge your last comment. Sure the rides may be same ol' same ol. But I think it is very exciting to have a new "from the ground up" theme park built and especially one with such an original theme.
I think Hard Rock is a brand that is perfect for a theme park and one that relates perfectly for the target market of todays theme park goers. I think it is very refreshing to have a new theme rather than something based on the wild west, foreign lands or blockbuster movies!
I for one am looking forward to everything about this park, except for its location (Myrtle Beach????) And I can't wait to take a legal Magic Mushroom ride!!!!
I am completely shocked that someone could put "Cedar Fair" and "quality", not only in the same sentence, but to have those combined words used as an adjective.

I'm sure the atmosphere is really going to make this park, (hopefully, it will be done right!!!) but as it stands, as someone else mentioned, it just reminds me of other stuff thats already out there, and IOA comes to mind for me as far as feel. I've done HardRock Seminole and Vegas, so I'm familiar with the feel of the brand. I was hoping for something more unique, and right now, the Ferris Wheel lift is the only thing, and it's not on a very big ride. Everything else has been done in one form or another.
I'm sure, once this park is done, and open, I will probably feel differently. It's just hard for me to tell at this point. Led Zep isn't wowing me, I'm only 3 hours away from Hulk, and is probably a much more exciting ride. I'm not one into the "credit" thing, so I won't travel unless it's worthy of it.

I doubt this will ever feel close to IOA to me. But I'm not complaining because it's a new theme park. I want to ride Maximum RPM! and Slippery when Wet (that's what she said) simply because they are Premier coasters and I am a Premier fanboy. Led Zeppelin looks interesting especially with the first drop, but overall just a mediocre ride. I still would love to go here within the next year or two.

The only thing I'm interested in this park is the Ferris Wheel Lift. Everything else is the same ol', same ol'.
I'll have a Skyy-sour with a lime and cherry, shaken, please...

This park looks great. When it was announced I thought it would be
Cedar fair quality, but I was wrong.

Yeah this much better then any Cedar Fair parks.
I amazed at how this has come out. I thought it was going to be one of those family centers at first, but this is much better than that.

It is looking at like in May I'm gonna have a chance to get up there. Really excited. The Screamscape update is pretty cool. I checked it out earlier. Very in depth. Can't Wait.

A lot of the IoA development team worked on HRP. That's why you get that feel.
Too bad there isn't an Intamin drop tower or another major coaster. Maybe in time...
It looks interesting though. I hope they theme the mine train instead of just leaving it like that.
