Now you freaking listen to me right now. Every single one of you. I dont know where you get off not allowing us to DEBATE a damn topic. We are debating a topic and I think that is healthy and fair. If you want to BAN us for debating something I think you need to check your values, you understand? If this is a website which bans people for debating a topic, you guys need to evaluate yourselves. What I notice, and what the rest of you need to notice, is that if any of us say ANYTHING you mods and Robb and Elissa do not like, you automatically ban or try to discredit. You never ever take people for their word or attempt to understand what we are trying to get across. It is either your way or the highway. That goes for JeffJohnson, CFC and anyone in your group who goes out on trips with you guys. We try to say ANYTHING you dont like and you put us down for it. It is pathetic and I am wondering why I post at a forum where individual thoughts are put down. So go ahead and ban me now. I know you will because you don't care about anyone but your posse. Its true and you damn well know it.

Do NOT visit on a Saturday. Do not. Go on a weekday, and do what the poster above said. 1. Nighthawk 2. Afterburn 3. Then go do everything else.

No identity? Ive been to HRP seven times as a season pass holder. I felt there was an identity there for sure. Did you visit? When? The park was a collection of different genres and eras of music. It was fairly obvious. The way the park turned rock music into reggae seamlessly as you walked from Rock and Roll Heaven towards Zeppelin was pretty damn cool. Every section of the park had local acts which were enjoyable. Ive had as much fun at HRP as I have at many parks of its size and caliber. Like I have said in a previous post, the failure is due to a crappy economy and poor planning. Have you BEEN to South Carolina? We are currently a very poor state. Hotels and restaurants were down sharply this summer, leading to a large percentage of people not at the beach this summer. These people hit up amusement places in DROVES when times are good. But these are people at the beach who visit from West Virginia and Ohio, states hit hard by our crappy economy. So you cant say the economy had nothing to do with it. That is ignorant. EDIT: I must also state that if you have never been to a park you should not pass judgement on it. That would be like me saying a philly cheese steak is gross, even though I had never tried one. Granted, you have a right to an opinion, but as long as that opinion is informed.

I am going to disagree with you Robb. As someone who has constantly visited and vacationed in Myrtle Beach, it is not a poor location. Down the road to the right you have the beach and down the road to the left you have a discount shopping center. BOTH pull in massive amounts of people. The problem with HRP was advertising. They did not advertise outside of the state of South Carolina effectively. I know people in Spartanburg SC in the upstate who never heard of Hard Rock Park. Why? Poor marketing. They did not budget in advertising as they should have, at least, the proper dollar amount. The fact you base its closing on something like location is a rather poor choice of criticism. EDIT: You also forget that Hwy 501 in front of HRP is where a huge majority of travelers pass by to get to the shoreline.

Thanks for the awesome pictures. It was a pleasure to live vicariously through you and your amazing experiences. I hope you werent inadvertenly stabbed by Leno's chin!

The cookie picture made me completely jealous. The food at Dollywood is the definition of exquisite. I am glad you had a great trip to the park. It sure can be busy this time of year, but closer to Christmas its insane. I am surprised to hear of Adventure Quest. I will have to check it out!
