LSI Online News has issued the following report from Jim Evans:

Hard Rock Park, billed as the world's first rock 'n' roll theme park, is "a multifaceted musical experience that brings to life the iconic music that changed the course of music history and continues to influence generations of music fans".

Located in the Atlantic Coast resort town of Myrtle Beach (South Carolina, USA), this $400 million music fan's dream boasts themed rock 'n' rollercoasters like LED ZEPPELIN: The Ride and EAGLES: Life in the Fast Lane among its 50 rides and attractions, and dedicates entire sections of the park to pop-music movements such as the British Invasion, '70s era rock and even country music.

Peavey worked closely with Hard Rock Park and systems integrator Electrosonic to create an unparalleled music experience. As the first new major attraction built in the US in nearly a decade, Hard Rock Park benefits from the evolution of technology manifested in the Peavey MediaMatrix NION audio distribution system, the ribbon-loaded Peavey Versarray line array and the Crest Audio Pro 200 Series power amplifiers.

The largest segment of the Hard Rock Park project is the background music and paging system, which consists of a cadre of nine MediaMatrix NION n3 processors that configure and control more than 130 zones of audio covering the entire 55-acre park. MediaMatrix CAB 4n CobraNet break-out boxes convert the uncompressed digital CobraNet audio to analogue audio and distribute it to nearly 1,000 Peavey PR Series and Impulse Series loudspeakers that are mounted on poles throughout the resort and weatherized for permanent outdoor installation in South Carolina's humid climate.
