I hope we get a B&M themed to Dark Side of the Moon. That's all I want out of life. And a resturant themed to David Lee Roth's cd, "Eat'em and Smile."

^Ohh, I like the Dark Side of the Moon coaster idea

and how about:
Thunderstruck (AC/DC) starting up as a show intro
Electric Funeral (Black Sabbath) dark ride
Crazy Train (Ozzy Osbourne) railroad or coaster
Rock You Like a Hurricane (Scorpions) for a Monster/Octopus or Top Spin
Dazed And Confused (Led Zeppelin) for an indoor scrambler with light, etc.
Electric Eye (Judas Priest) for a spinning rod
Black Diamond (KISS) for any ride
Purple Haze (Jimi Hendrix) HUSS Giant Frisbee or a Sky Swat
Master of Puppets (Metallica) funhouse (hey...i can dream......)

I'm sure I could think of more, but I think that's a decent list :-p

For Unlawful Carnal Knowlegde could be a stage show or the unisex dressing area.

Don't forget a huge explosive area for The Kink's "Come on Eileen." "Billy Squiers' "Stroke Me" and KISS "Lick it Up." Oh, and Mr Jackson's Beat It. The Divinyl's "I Touch Myself."

^LOL! Those are pretty good.

Speaking of Black Sabbath...

After riding those rides you could eat at the "Sweet Leaf" Cafe....
take a ride on "Into the Void" dark ride, or "Wheels of Confusion" Crazy Mouse, and the "Snowblind" Avalanche ride....

and then take a relaxing ride on the Jimi Hendrix steam locomotive ride, "Hear My train A Comin".....

I was actually just thinking of some of those...like "Into the Void" and "Wheels of Confusion" (how perfect would that be for a coaster).

Have "Lick It Up" Cafe for the adults ;-) like what montumax was saying lol

I could probably add a bunch of good metal to that (Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Anthrax, etc.) but those aren't heavily recognized by Hard Rock cafe's and such. But I think the songs and groups that I did put would be more along the lines of what they would do.

Oh, just thought of another "You Shook Me All Night Long" (AC/DC) for a flat ride (just don't tell the kiddies what the lyrics really are lol). "Psycho Circus" (KISS) would be another good funhouse name (dangitt, i want more of those in the US). "Highway Star" (Deep Purple) for a classic Le Mans raceway or one of those car rides (I love those, I hate that they are disappearing so quickly nowadays :( ). "Rock and Roll all Night" for some scooters (the Phantom Flyers)...except i guess it's more bounce and fly or snap than rock and roll. "Hanger 18" (Megadeth) would be perfect for lazer tag or something (that's too metal for them though probably, losers). "Madhouse" (Anthrax) or "Mama We're All Crazy Now" (Quiet Riot) could also be good for a funhouse or some indoor ride or something wild like that.

I would be betting on, 'Stairway to Heaven' myself.

This gig in construction does come in handy from time to time.

You know I'm wondering what they will buy from Vekoma.

They should be one of those sky shuttes. They look pretty cool. It would be fun to glide up in the air over the intercoastal waterway.

The new SLC trains though look good and that giant version they built actually looked smooth.

Chance Morgan & Vekoma recently announced an alliance, and they're both going to be involved together in what seems to be a few projects for Hard Rock Park. I wouldn't be too suprised to see a Rollerskater, but I'd expect some flat rides from both.

The new Jr. Hyper going up in Japan at USJ is a Beemer with an audio track. We already know that the Beemer going to HRP is going to have an audio track, and since HRP is right beside MBI Airport, don't expect anything too tall, a Jr. Beemer with an onboard soundtrack would fit right in (although I'm not saying for sure as I don't know, just a best guest).

Premier makes coasters...And towers, and flying scooters, and other flats and transport rides. But initial rumors suggested a launched Premier set to music as well, so that could happen, it may not. I don't see them building an observation tower, though, because of the airport.

I just hope Huss is contracted for something with the words Giant and Frisbee in it, but any Huss ride should be good.

Sally is definitely going to provide a dark ride, duh! ;). You could definitely build a brand new park with the companies provided, with coasters, dark rides, interactive attractions, family and thrill and kiddie flats, etc. I honestly think Hard Rock Park is going to be better than what I initially expected...

Hard Rock Park is becoming more than I expected. Im starting to think that Carowinds will now have some competion within driving distance. Who else thinks that they wil have to think twice about what kind of additions they add to their attractions?
