--- No, ultimately, arrogance did in the Hard Rock Park, long before the park even opened. Park managers' refusal to advertise, to work with local hotels on promotion, to package and price the park aggressively -- all these failures to work with others left the park empty and its balance sheet a mess.
see: http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/200812/994/ ...The $400 million, 55-acre park opened in April and was the biggest single investment ever in South Carolina tourism. The company filed for Chapter 11 protection in September and had planned to reopen this year. The park went up for auction last month, but no bidder who could pay at least $35 million emerged Eventually someone will come along and acquire it - nearly debt free and at least the grounds set to go. Easy to spend when it's not your money. ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
