Imagine a Disney vacation at the Magic Kingdom, only without the original Mickey Mouse brand. That’s pretty much the story of Freestyle Music Park, also known as TAFKAHRTP (that would be “The Attraction Formerly Known as Hard Rock Theme Park”). But while Disney World would probably flop without the Mouse, Freestyle Music Park is enjoying a “happily ever after” with its re-branding. It’s still singing the same tune of its predecessor—marrying music with high-energy rides and interactive entertainment—but this location’s encore performance under new ownership is even more of a chart-topper than the original.
The rockin’ theme park is a nirvana for both music and thrill-ride enthusiasts of all ages, as well as families and pretty much anyone else in your motley crew. Some friends of ours recently attended the park and raved about it being the gem of Myrtle Beach with its innovative rides, friendly staff, fun entertainment, and high-tech operations. So if a Myrtle Beach vacation is in your future, make sure Freestyle Music Park is on your playlist.

At the beginning of her life, Helen Keller probably never imagined that a festival featuring arts and music–elements that cater to the senses of sight and sound–would be named in her honor. But given how remarkable of a woman she became through the overcoming of her hearing impairments and blindness to not just function incredibly well in everyday life, but champion the cause of others with disabilities, it should come as no surprise. The
