Hard Rock Park Offers a 'Whole Lotta Love'

    MYRTLE BEACH, S.C., April 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Hard Rock Park, the
 world's first rock 'n' roll theme park, today announced one of the Park's
 most anticipated attractions, Led Zeppelin - The Ride. Ascending over 150
 feet into the sky, this iconic looping, steel roller coaster will feature a
 high fidelity on-board audio system that soars to Led Zeppelin's hit single
 "Whole Lotta Love," creating an unprecedented sensory experience for
 riders.
     In tune with Hard Rock's passion for music and memorabilia, Hard Rock
 Park has worked closely with band members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John
 Paul Jones on all aspects of Led Zeppelin - The Ride, including the ride's
 name, logo, and overall look and feel of the vehicles. Indeed the band
 selected "Whole Lotta Love" as the theme song for the attraction.
     "We've partnered with the most iconic hard rock band of all time to
 create a truly unique and exciting experience that will serve as one of our
 signature attractions," said Steven Goodwin, CEO of Hard Rock Park. "Our
 relationship with Led Zeppelin is just one strong example of the support
 and authenticity Hard Rock Park is receiving from the rock community."
     Guests can get an early adrenaline rush of Led Zeppelin - The Ride by
 visiting the Hard Rock Park Backstage Tour in Myrtle Beach, SC. Beginning
 April 18, the Backstage Tour will feature a model of the Bolliger &
 Mabillard manufactured ride and brief computer graphic simulator with
 binaural sounds that creates a life-like sensory experience for visitors.
 Admission to the Backstage Tour is free for all visitors.
     Opening in Spring 2008, Hard Rock Park will be an approximately
 140-acre theme park boasting more than 40 attractions for rockers of all
 ages, including roller coasters, shows, children's play areas, restaurants,
