New Hard Rock Park owner wants to keep brand
Posted
One of the new owners of Hard Rock Park said Wednesday he wants to keep the rock 'n' roll theme park's famous name and hire 750 employees to get the Myrtle Beach venture back up and running by this summer. The Florida-based company, which worked previously with Hard Rock to grow the company's global restaurant chain, wants to get the park reopened by Memorial Day, under the Hard Rock brand.

See, I think if you're looking to make money from "folks like us", you've already screwed the proverbial pooch. There's simply not enough of us to make a viable business model. My thinking is that you either: attract locals like every other park out there besdies The Mouse, or you perish. Honestly, while I'd love for the park to become a thriving concern, I don't see that happening unless they're planning on another slow year in '09 (and financially equipped to handle at least one more down year).

This is amazing.
The Baker Leisure Group is the same organization that was hired by the new owners of Cypress Gardens to manage the park back when they bought it in bankruptcy court from Kent Buescher. They let them go just after like 9 months because they didn't like their approach. But, from what alot of us have read, Baker knows how to run parks so CG dropped the ball and now you see what is happening at CG.
I wish Baker would have purchased CG also.
I know it's sort of off-topic, but it does connect in some ways.
