Ride Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven

07/16/07
. (BW&BK) Exactly one year after breaking ground on the world's first rock 'n' roll theme park, Hard Rock Park celebrates another milestone today, with the official topping ceremony for the Park's most anticipated attraction, LED ZEPPELIN - The Ride. The topping ceremony, which marks the completion of the highest lift hill for the signature roller coaster, kicks the Park into "construction overdrive."

Easily viewed as far away as the three highway bridges that surround the Park, Led Zeppelin - The Ride will tower more than 150 feet into the sky (15 stories tall), serving as a landmark that will help travelers pinpoint Hard Rock Park whether arriving by air or land.

The ride is most notable for the iconic relationship with band members Jimmy Page, Robert Plant and John Paul Jones, who have contributed to all aspects of Led Zeppelin - The Ride, including the ride's name [they thought real hard on that one], logo and overall look and feel of the vehicles. - more on this story
