Myrtle Waves Water Park located on the corner of 10th Avenue North and Highway 17 bypass, features the area’s best water park rides including the “Ocean in Motion” wave pool, the Lay Zee river ride that meanders throughout and around the medium sized park, Saturation Station, an interactive water play structure with a tipping bucket, and an array of exciting water slides. You will find Myrtle Waves near these Oceanfront Myrtle Beach Hotels.

Kids love the saturation station, especially the little tikes between the ages of toddler to nine. Saturation Station is a great place to stay cool as the rain trees cascade water over the entire area. Kid play activities abound and mom and dad can make some cherished memories with toddlers. Make sure to bring your cameras so as to bring back home a keep sake that will last a lifetime.

Some of Myrtle Waves’ most requested rides are the Turbo Twisters. These are the world’s tallest wild enclosed body slides that twist and turn Earthward. The rides are very dark and the rider never knows when the next twist or turn is coming. The one hundred foot tall Turbo Twisters are an imposing sight from the launching area. Its spaghetti-bowl of three interconnecting purple slides look impossibly steep and twisty. As riders walk up the steps to the launching area sounds of muffled screams echoing from inside the slides add to the suspense. Without any visual cues, it’s impossible to get a sense where the ride is heading and hard to determine the speed–but rest assured it’s fast and deliriously fun. From the get-go, riders tear out, but when they navigate one of the tubes’ nearly vertical dips, they REALLY pick up speed. The splash ramp at the end of the ride makes for a soft and slow exit.

The Arooba Tooba at Myrtle Waves is a spinning “toilet bowl” ride. Riders finally get a chance to feel what it is like to be a flushed gold fish. The ride circles in a frantic downward motion in a wet and thrilling fashion. Lines for the Aruba Tooba attraction can get long.

The Ocean Motion water park is a great place to soak up the sun, catch a wave, or just hang out and eat from one of the many Myrtle Waves Theme park vendors nearby. Snow Cones are great in those mid Summer days, and Myrtle Waves Snow cones are a rare blend of sweet that makes the experience all the more memorable.

If you have the heart for it, make sure to roar down one of the major “Free Fall” slides that sit at the tenth avenue side of the theme park. This is a no holes barred, zero to sixty free fall that will leave your heart in your throat and your body soaked. Don’t blink on this one.

The park charges a one day admission and does run many specials with kids getting half off during some slower periods.

Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach, SC officially opened on April 15, 2008.

Over $450 million was originally invested by the Rank Group, headquartered in London, England, in this Myrtle Beach Theme park with over 50 ride attractions.   The new owners have paid $25 million and are re-opening in May.

The 140 acre Myrtle Beach theme park opened to a brisk 44 degree temperature on a day when most Americans were thinking about tax deadlines.Hard Rock Theme Park features Myrtle Beach roller coasters, shows, children’s play areas, Hard rock park themed restaurants, cafes and Hard rock park and related retail stores. Hard Rock Park will also feature a live music amphitheater.

The Rank Group, who originally built the park,  also has a Gaming Division, not related to the park that represents over half of the holding company’s operating profit and comprises three main activities: Mecca Bingo, Grosvenor Casinos and Blue Square. Mecca is their bingo operator in the United Kingdom with 117 bingo clubs and more than 5 million members.

Today,  almost one year to the date,  Free Style Music Park was officially named to replace the now bankrupt former property.   Free Style Music Park will feature over 50 thrill rides and attractions with music venues and a more dynamically charged family environment.

The owners have retained the Brandon Agency to market the resort theme park under the leadership of John Stein who works directly for the park ownership.

All indications are that the new park concept will be much more family friendly as the park now maintains strong local support.  Ticket prices that ran $50 per person last season,  will average $38 this season, with parking now reduced to $8 per vehicle.

A state-of-the-art sound systems was designed specifically for the theme park and the venue holds a vast collection of unique memorabilia pieces from the history of rock ‘n’ roll including cars and oversized concert stage props as “the Myrtle Beach Amusement park will reflect Hard Rock’s commitment to music, featuring six unique, custom-designed zones celebrating rock’s culture, lifestyle, legends and irreverence.

In April 2008, Governor Mark Sanford, of South Carolina, said in a prepared statement that Hard Rock Park “represents the largest single investment in tourism infrastructure in South Carolina’s history.”

Included in the project’s design is a bridge linking Free Style Music Park to Highway 17 at the Coastal Grand Mall. The building of what will be called the Fantasy Harbour bridge is expected to be completed this year and will offer Myrtle Beach vacationers another access across the Intracoastal Waterway directly into the theme park.

The park offers music concert venue opportunities the popular roller coaster ride formerly known as Led Zeppelin, the ride. This roller coaster excites thrill seekers as it does flips, twirls and spins. This ride is all about speed, dips, twists, and spins.
