Freestyle Adventure Acres

Freestyle Adventure Acres (previously known as Freestyle Music Park and Hard Rock Park), is an amusement park built on 55 acres (22 ha) of a 140-acre (57 ha) property located in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The park is located at the intersection of US 501 and the Intracoastal Waterway. It is currently owned by Carwardine Parks.

History
The music theming was mostly dropped when Carwardine bought the park in 2010 and refurbished the park and added some more flat and kiddie rides, it reopened August 2010.

In 2013, an on site hotel was added to the property on the abandoned mall parking lot.

In 2014, Redwall: Escape from Malkariss was added, this gained controversy from the local neighborhood due to the tall height, due to that, bulletproof glass was added to the left of the first drop.

In 2015, The one-time AdventureCon was held there, with people including Russi Taylor, Charles Martinet, Tom Kenny, Tara Strong, and Chris Rock attending.

In 2020, during the Coronavirus, most non-durable objects (banners, etc.) were put in the hotel's lobby.

The park reopened on June 22nd.
