![Hard Rock Park Flips The Dial To Freestyle [Rebrandings]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/1655989_lg.jpg)
The new owners of the bankrupted music-themed amusement park Hard Rock Park are planning on keeping the roller coasters in Myrtle Beach rattling and rolling under a new name: Freestyle Music Park . As it turns out, 81% of people responding to a local paper's poll hate the name , even though it's supposed to honor the park's commitment to "the celebration of that revolutionary phenomenon rock n' roll but also encompasses other genres of music including country, reggae, beach music, pop, R&B, alternative, Christian, and disco." (And complement the name of a sister [...]
