bearcut Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 I don't know if anyone saw this, but I saw it on the Discover Myrtle Beach FMP forum NEWS RELEASE FREESTYLE MUSIC PARK LAUNCHES NEW SOCIAL MEDIA NETWORKING PAGES Facebook and MySpace Pages Allow Park To Better Connect With Guests April 28, 2009, Myrtle Beach, S.C. – Freestyle Music Park today launched the Park’s social networking pages through Facebook and MySpace. The pages can be found at http://www.myspace.com/fsmusicpark and http://facebook.dj/fsmusicpark/. Through these pages, Freestyle Music Park will keep past, current and future guests informed about happenings at the Park, provide social media-exclusive contests and giveaways, solicit feedback from guests and be the haven for Park guests to interact with one another. Rich media content will include exclusive blogs, vlogs, photo essays and guest-submitted materials. “We are excited about launching the Park’s social media pages for guests to explore, enjoy and engage,” said John Stine, director of sales and marketing for Freestyle Music Park. “With these pages we hope to provide guests a place to converse and learn more about Freestyle Music Park. As we move forward, these pages will have exclusive content and be a prime source to find out happenings at the Park.” About Freestyle Music Park Owned and operated by FPI MB Entertainment LLC (FPI MBE), Freestyle Music Park is a 55-acre theme park located in Myrtle Beach, S.C. The world-wide destination for the celebration of music, Freestyle Music Park has more than 50 attractions for fans of all ages.

If you go to the Facebook page, under comments, they're talking about how the park is gonna honor the 2008 annual passes, although I haven't found anything saying that anywhere. If that is true, then that's a very wise decision on their part to get people to come back and check out the park, and give them a chance to renew their interest so they will buy a pass for their future seasons if they have future seasons... EDIT: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=191495555432&topic=8013 there's the official announcement, via Facebook discussion board post, about the 2008 passes.

CHILLERLC1 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Throwing around the word Love on the Screamscape, The Red Hot Chili Peppers Love Coaster would be an awesome retheme. : ) Anyone going to a Friday's or a baseball game could come up with that name on short notice.

Electerik Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 I would have preferred something like MAGIC HARBOR (can anyone remember that park)!!! Yep. only Log Flume that I can remember going through an arcade. My fuzzy recollection is that the one at Buffalo Bills at Stateline does this as well. (At the very least, it goes through the casino.) It's been a while, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolinacaniac Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Somebody made the comment about the park becoming "watered down", and I have to say that I may agree. I guess I will wait and see what else they announce before openning, and maybe see what is said about the place on the first few TRs posted here before deciding if I wanna make the trip back down there for myself. -Gary T.

TheRapidsNerd Posted May 2, 2009 Share Posted May 2, 2009 Anybody else get the feeling this park is turning wierdly generic like Visionland. I get an eerily similar vibe. It's not a bad thing, but it's still a disturbance in The Force. I'd love to see what their 5 year plan is, but we all know that's not happening. Hey, it's still a park, and it's still another place to go, no matter how long it stays around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Clinksalot Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Thanks for the info Robb. What are the tracks??? Strange that they weren't in the press release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 ^ I thought the exact same thing. I'm assuming that it will be something much "cheaper" to license than Led Zeppelin. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Clinksalot Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 ^ Yeah, that was my thought too. Gregg "Can't wait for Fine Young Cannibals and Love and Rockets on the coaster." C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electerik Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Okay, the "choose your own track" thing (ala Hollywood Dream) is cool and all...but, "The Time Machine"?! Holy Mother of Crap, that's a lousy name for a rollercoaster in a music themed park. /At least we know why it's pink now. //Wait, no we don't.

But now that you mention it, I don't see anything in the press release to back up either concept. Guess we'll have to wait and see. /Brock Sampson is gonna be pissed when he finds out about all this.

larrygator Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Maybe I'm making a leap of faith here, but there were 5 pre-shows rooms. Is it possible that each pre-show will be a different decade/song? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deano Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 A time machine themed coaster would not be complete without a 'Huey Lewis and the News' song. And for theming, an 'OUTATIME' licence plate on the trains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
