FMP: Freestyle Music Park's new logo.
Today is an honorable day for those who fought and died for our country. First off I'd like to say that in ever post in the forums made and every action we take today will be in remembrance to them. Today is also another special day of the grand opening of the former park Hard Rock Park. It was inspired and operated by Hard Rock Cafe.

It is opening once again except it's not just rock. It's all the years of wonderful music filling the air as it's now known as Freestyle Music Park. Freestyle by meaning the all around general music genre hits throughout the years. A lot of the rides remain the same but name changes had to occur when changing from rock to all-around music.

Some familiar roller coasters at the park have all changed names. Vekoma's junior coaster Shake, Rattle, and Roller Coaster is now Hang Ten. Vekoma's mine train-style coaster Eagles life in the Fast Lane is now Iron Horse. Premier Ride's Maximum RPM! is now Round About. Premier Ride's elevator lifted water coaster Slippery When Wet is now Soak'd. Bolliger & Mobillard's twister coaster Led Zeppelin - The Ride is now Time Machine.

A lot of changes also happened to the park's flat rides. The new owners, FPI MBE, are trying to make it a better place than it was before. New additions may occur in the near future to the park.
