We visited Hard Rock Park while on vacation last week and with all the hype we saw for it were truely dissapointed.  Out of all the rides they had there were only 3 that we could go on.  The smaller roller coaster/big one/and the 3D tour.

I find it upsetting that the pavilion is now gone along with a ton of little places to go along Kings Hwy for this.  While there we came across someone who we thought was a manager and he asked what we thought of the park and his reply was it is a “Show” park not a ride park!

WTF?  A show park?  I paid 50.00 for each of us to get into to watch a show??? I wanted some rides, even the children rides were closed and I witnessed a kid who was a finger under the hight requirment get told that he could not get on and the parents became upset and told the ride attendant that what else is he going to do everything else is “CLOSED”

When it came time to get some grub we said lets try alice’s place there, sounded pretty good.  I should have realized what kind of service we were going to get when the place was empty and took 3 waitresses 5 minutes to come seat us (keep in mind they were looking at us the whole time).  So finally Debra comes over and seats us and one of my wife’s friends ask if they serve beer and she said Yes we do…. ok great, do you have a menu? (NO). What kind of beers do you have? (she starts naming them off) and her friend picks one.  The lady ask for her ID and it takes her 3 minutes to figure out if she is old enough…… (weird)

When we were sat we sat in to groups, me and my wife on one side and the friend on the other side.  So after we ordered the kids meals (that are no way for kids). Having to wait for refils for ever, and on top of all that the check time.  She hands us the check and we put both our debit cards she asked WHY are there 2 cards in here?  of which we answered the bill was suppose to be split both ways.  She sighs and got pissed at us and storms off.  The friend told her to use the wacovia card for her meal and the other card for my wife’s and my meal.  Well 5 minutes go by and she comes out demanding, “DO I USE THIS CARD? for the chicken?” Like I have telephoto vision and can read from across a room so we just said yes.

She hands us the receipts for singing/tips and noticed that the merchant copy said 15.26 with no tip box, total box, etc.  I was wondering why and then our copy “Customer Copy” had all this stuff so I just signed the merchant one.  Figuring if there was a mess up “Debra” would tell us but instead of waiting for us to leave she picks up her little black check book off the table and looks at them right in front of us and gets all pissy again and tells us to have a nice day while walking away shaking her head left and right and fussing with one of her co-workers.

Now if she somehow thought she would have gotten a tip regardless I can assure you she wouldn’t due to her lack of respect for the customer and attitude toward us.  This has so far been the worse experience I have received at the beach and I would hope that the personal there treated their “Paying” customers better.  We paid 95.00 just to get into hard rock park and were treated like we just walked out of a back alley.

Just my little rant!
