Save/ShareHard Rock Park, an amusement park opening May 9 in Myrtle Beach, S.C., just announced a new ride: Eagles--Life In The Fast Lane is "a thrilling Mine Train Roller Coaster set within the Cool Country area of the park." Is it just me, or do Eagles fans seem a bit out of the traditional age demo for an amusement park? (Then again, the other big roller coaster is Led Zeppelin - The Ride.) And does anyone consider them "country"? Personally, I'd have preferred a ride based on "Hotel California." I can't abide the song, but you could really scare the wits out of people if there were steely knives stabbing all over the place. Any other suggestions for rock 'n' roll rides, Eagles-based or otherwise?

Aerosmith has the "Rock-N-Roller" Coaster at Disney's MGM Theme Park in Orlando -- it's excellent, even if you're not a fan of rock music. It immediately starts you off going from zero-to-60 in a matter of seconds and does enough loops and twists to make you scream your head off! Plus, as you're waiting in line, there's tons of momentos from their past (and current), including a sound-stage mock-up! Very cool!

How about the Justin Timberlake "Cry Me a River" ride? :-)

How about the whole Beatles Collection - from Strawberry Fields (train ride through fields of various plants) to Help (papparazi ride) to Across the Universe (instead of nations on the tour, you get to see planets and their supposed people - Martians anyone?) - Back in the USSR - Soviets still in control of neighboring countries.

Maybe the Lynard Skynard flight simulator? Tons of fun...until the end.

Since KISS seems to sell everything under the sun, it's about time they had a ride.

How about something VAN HALEN (not Van Hagar). That would have to be some wild ride!

"Earth, Wind and Fire" -- with appropriate sections for each of the three elements.
Also, "Rolling Stones" with chances to dodge all sizes of rolling rocks, stones and boulders.

Rolling Stones, start slowly to "I can't get no satisfaction" and finish with a tumbling ride that plays "tumbling dice".
