Park officials say that the place will still cater to fans of rock music, but will also try to attract fans of reggae, country, and other types of music. They specifically mentioned fans of disco as well, which is really unfortunate if you ask us. It seems that much of the park will remain as it did last summer, but without the licensing of the Hard Rock brand and the naming rights from bands like Led Zeppelin and the Moody Blues. Rumors indicate that ticket prices will be about $40 for adults and about $25 for kiddos, which is still a little pricey.

Ambitious officials hope that this will be one of the first Freestyle Parks in the world, as they plan to expand elsewhere around the globe. Apparently they haven’t realized that the previous incarnation of the park went belly-up in like six months, and that we’re in the middle of a little economic situation. We doubt this brand will be the next Six Flags, but we’re hoping that we can check the park out this summer—since we’re still a little bummed we missed it last year.
