I think you're missing the point of why no parks are interested - the park was a bad idea to begin with.
It's not as though Six Flags, Cedar Fair, etc, don't know this park exists. Of course they do. They also probably know exactly why it failed... TWICE... and I can't see any park operator in the world wanting to come in and buy the property to do anything other than take the rides and install them in other parks.
This park will never re-open...or I should say never re-open successfully, so either at some point it all needs to be sold for scrap, or they'll have to get desperate and sell off all the rides.

I get it, Robb. I was just dreaming.
Anyway, If those nutty people somehow get another deal to purchase the land, they should keep the theme-ing on all the rides, but the exit sign should say: "Hoped you enjoyed your ride to HELL!" with a devil impersonator next to it screaming at the riders about if they made the right choice. Have all the exits lead to a building where the owners can chain up park visitors and brainwash them that God hates rock music.
Oh god, I have a messed up brain.

Hard Rock Park WORK TYPE : ENTERTAINMENT, PACKAGING AGENCY : EMI / CAPITOL As a theme park nerd, getting this assignment at work was a dream! For the launch of Hard Rock Park, Capitol was commissioned to put together a soundtrack of some of the music that was featured throughout the park and its attractions. I wanted a feel that featured publicity photos of the park's attractions but in a way that felt American, Rock & Roll and FUN. I combined the photos with some custom digital illustrations and lots of fun, vibrant colors.
Change the scheme, Alter the mood! Electrify the boys and girls if you would be so kind!
^I can't see what else the land would be used for. It's obvious a park won't work there, and the previous outlet mall failed. I guess it's just not a good location. Or it's a haunted graveyard full of angry ghosts. One of those, anyway.

And just because I really haven't kept up much with the demise of this thing, can anyone tell me why in the world the rides are all just sitting there rotting? Is it in the hands of the government now who delusionally think that someone is going to show up, slap a new coat of paint on this thing and it will become this massive money-making park? Seems like whomever owns those rides would like to recoup some money, no?
Then again, the afterlife of this thing is no stranger than the life of this thing...
^It's currently caught up in a convoluted web of bankruptcy and lawsuits. From what I can gather, basically the same ownership group keeps mortgaging and foreclosing on themselves. It's all so sketchy.
