Hard Rock Park

This new amusement park opened in the last year. It is all music-themed, with each area of the park representing a different genre or period of rock music. The big roller coaster is the Led Zeppelin roller coaster--we did not like having to watch the bizarre Zeppelin video while in the holding area, but it was a good coaster! Another themed ride was the Moody Blues "Knights in White Satin" "trip" which was kind of a slower, indoor ride in the dark with 3D glasses. Luke did NOT like that one and we had to reassure him as he cried! I think that one coaster was themed to the Eagles and was actually in the country area, and there were various other music-themed rides--there were speakers in most of the ride cars and music that matched the ride. It is a smaller park than some, but it was a nice day.

Here we are at the entrance plaza--the whole park is surrounding a lake. It's really pretty.

I am publishing this one because I think her hair is hilarious:
Cars in the kids' area--I have to say they were really bouncy for a kids' ride and Caroline was a trooper!
We found this great sign--no idea what it means!
