Myrtle Beach’s own 140 acre Rock ‘n Roll Theme Park is a jewel encrusted in the heart of Fantasy Harbour complex in South Carolina. Unfortunately, since its opening on April 15, 2008, this sought after destination is being masked by vacant lots and abandoned buildings. The premier Hard Rock Park celebrates Rock’s culture, lifestyle, and the legends that have changed history. Offering a vast array of amusement rides, live shows, shopping and dining attractions, as well as the main attraction—the massive roller coasters.

After a huge investment and years of planning, the famed roller coasters can barely been seen from the busy highway U.S. 501, just peeping over the remnants of the former Waccamaw Factory Shoppes—the same parcel of land the park was constructed on. Why hide such a treasure? That question is exactly why some people are looking into turning the vacant lot into an all access entry to Hard Rock Park, with restaurants and shops to draw in the public, rather than an empty space for them to pass by. And such changes may hit Fantasy Harbour yet.

Paradise City is a complex on the drawing board that may or may not replace the eyesore in front of the spectacular theme park. Another idea that is up in the air is a great 120 unit timeshare resort, known only as Backstage Resorts to be built next to Medieval Times on Harbour Boulevard.

Even though no official plans have been submitted, contractors like Winter Park Construction and L2 Studios Inc. have confirmed that they too are working with Backstage Resorts. They have started advertising a dozen online jobs, stating that sales and marketing will start this summer. The official Grand Opening for Hard Rock Park is June 2, 2008 where a concert by the Eagles will kick off the festivities. However, Steve Goodwin, Hard Rock Park’s chief executive officer said that he has no plans ready to release for the empty property just outside of the theme park. “I own that property and I submitted no plans to the county” stated Goodwin, “we haven’t announced anything and I haven’t done anything with that property.”

The empty lots around the Park have yet to be built into something, though changes are to hit the Fantasy Harbour neighborhood. The site where the Waccamaw Factory Shoppes once stood will become a $300million complex with hotels, homes, stores, fine restaurants and an entertainment venue. The property was purchased by Next Step Partners LLC. Currently the only thing to attract people is a single digital sign aimed at the busy U.S. 501, promoting South Carolina’s newest heavyweight attraction, Hard Rock Park.
