Much of the anticipation has been built by the recent announcement of renaming the wildly popular Led Zeppelin roller coaster, when the theme park was named Hard Rock Park, to The Time Machine.
"We are excited to unveil 'The Time Machine,'" said John Stine, director of marketing and sales for Freestyle Music Park. "The enhancements we have made, including adding five different audio tracks, will allow our guests to enjoy a totally different musical experience with each journey through time."
The 155-foot-tall ride was set to Led Zeppelin's song "Whole Lotta Love." New owners FPI MB Entertainment LLC not only renamed the 65-mph roller coaster, but also set the on-board audio system to play hits from the 1960's, 70's, 80's, 90's and 2000's.
The 32-passenger coaster features a 120-foot-tall loop, a 95-foot-tall cobra roll and a 75-foot-tall zero G roll along its more than 3,700-foot track.
Park officials continue working diligently to prepare the 55-acre site for its opening this Saturday.
The new park will feature a variety of music genres - from country, reggae and beach music to pop, R&B, alternative, Christian, and disco.
