Be the First in History to Ride Led Zeppelin at Hard Rock ParkSubmitted By: Ian
Published: April 4th 2008
Beginning on March 31st @ 9:00p.m. ET and ending on April 7th @ 9:00p.m. ET,
A joint creative connection between Hard Rock Park and legendary guitarist Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin – The Ride was conceived to give Led Zeppelin fans the ultimate amusement park experience.
The highest winning bidder from Row 1, Seat 1 will have the opportunity to sit next to Steven Goodwin, Hard Rock Park CEO who will also make a personal contribution to add to the final bid price to support the charity.Each prize pack to be bid on in this one-of-a-kind auction will include a seat on the coaster’s very first official ride, a signed Led Zeppelin poster and commemorative certificate declaring the rider’s place in history. The rider will also have his or her ride forever commemorated with a photo taken of the event. The media will be on hand for this landmark event, providing a potential interview opportunity to chronicle the rider’s breathless adventure.
Only sixteen individual seats will be available for auction in this highly anticipated maiden voyage of the bands flagship roller coaster. The auction, which will take place on eBay, is being held exclusively by Auctionwire. Bidders may visit www.auctionwire.com/hardrockpark to bid. The auction begins March 31, 2008 and ends on April 7,2008Led Zeppelin – The Ride, named by Jimmy Page, will also feature the Zeppelin smash-hit “Whole Lotta Love” which was selected for the ride by Jimmy himself. The bands hit will be pumped out on the coasters powerful 64 speakers, generating 1200 watts of music as the coaster hurtles the screaming rider down its ¾ mile long track at speeds hitting 65 mph.
The ride itself will feature 6 inversions and reach an apex of a 155 foot drop before riders plunge through a 120 foot tall loop, a 95 foot tall cobra roll, and even experience weightlessness in a 75 foot zero G roll. The ride will traverse a large part of Hard Rock Park, in places taking riders racing over the water. The designers also pushed the envelope by making the coaster as tall as the Federal Aviation Administration will allow in the country.
This unique experience, slated for April, will also allow riders to get a sneak-peek into what the Hard Rock Park will offer visitors, ahead of its June grand opening. The 50-acre rock ‘n’ roll theme park will feature individually themed music environments to cater to music fan’s diverse tastes. All flavours of rock will be represented, from American to British, through the 70’s to present day. Along with Led Zeppelin - The Ride, Hard Rock Park will also boast four other roller coasters amidst a wide variety of other ride experiences, ranging from a full water park, bumper cars and racing games and many areas for the kids. A rock and roll park would not be complete without music, with Hard Rock Park featuring exactly that: a 10,000 seat amphitheatre which will showcase live daily shows and special concerts.Chat about this on our forums!

Hard Rock Cafe is a chain of themed restaurants, all of which feature music memorabilia from the Beatles' instruments to Madonna's Coned Boob Bra (I've seen both!)
