Lawsuits against Freestyle Music Park continue to grind their way through court, but regardless of their outcome, there is little chance the park will ever open again, according to a theme park consultant and area businesses.
The park opened as Hard Rock Park in 2009, but filed for bankruptcy protection after a slow first season. A group of investors bought it out of bankruptcy and reopened it as Freestyle Music Park in 2009. Although park representatives initially said the park would open in 2010, they failed to find new investors and it remained shut for the season.
About 12 lawsuits against Freestyle are pending in Horry County courts, most brought by vendors who provided goods and services to the park but were never paid.
