Character Photos – Hard Rock Park Myrtle Beach
No amusement park is complete without mascots and Hard Rock Park has several unique creations – Winston the Punk Bulldog (left w/ Zaira) and the Metal Bear Family: Heavy Dad, Maiden Mom, Glam Gal and Speed Boy.
Apparently they now will also have The Banana Splits as mascots. I remember the kids’ show from the 70s and seem to recall there being some amusement park clips in the beginning, but don’t recall them being particularly musical. Hmmmm…
Anywayz, they weren’t signed on as of yet when we visited for the official opening. We did, however, manage to get a great group shot of Zaira and myself with the entire Metal Bear Family, and Zaira posed with her second-favorite Heavy Metal Bear: Speed Boy as well (Glam Girl was hiding at the time).
We also had the joy of watching the entire Metal Bear Family and Winston playing Hide ‘n’ Seek in the park. It’s pretty cool seeing the mascots actually act like they’re visiting the park instead of just standing around for photo opps.
The critters weren’t the only characters at Hard Rock Park Myrtle Beach, though!
They also had a couple of stilt walkers: a pimp was exploring the Lost In The ’70s midway games are; and a reggae man was cruising around near Reggae River Falls.
I’ve heard reports since our visit that there’s now another stilt walker in the Heavy Metal graveyard (which, oddly enough, is not in Rock & Roll heaven), but again we missed out by attending the official opening day rather than the “Grand” opening nearly a month later.
