American 'rock park' to feature Jimi Hendrix and John Lennon on 'Mount Rockmore'
A new theme park in South Carolina, based on hella rock icons and the like, is to feature a 'Mount Rockmore' sculpture, reports NME.com.
The 150 acre park - due to open next Spring - will be dominated by the 250-ton Mount Rushmore-aping construction, which will feature the faces of John Lennon (pictured), Bob Marley, Elvis Presley and Jimi Hendrix instead of the usual former Presidents.
Based in Myrtle Beach, the park expects to attract 30,000 visitors per day to its assortment of as-yet-unconfirmed band-themed rides. The Justin Trousersnake Coaster, maybe? The Steppenwolf Magic Carpet?
Do please make your own suggestions below...

Replace Hendrix
with Rick Witter on that there Mt. Rockmore and you've got yourself my ticket money
Obviously you'll need
an Elvis Presley cheeseburger stand.
Maybe even a picture of Jimi Hendrix to warn against the dangers of vomiting and motion sickness.
This is a terrible terrible idea

My friend lives in Myrtle Beach
and I'm going there in a couple of weeks. That place isn't gonna know what's hit it, it's about as Rock and Roll as Eastbourne. But with a far nicer climate, fantastic beach and the highest concentration if mini-golf courses in the world!
The Johnny Borrell
Hall of Mirrors. Strike poses all day and bask in your own reflection

The Buckley one is best because it veers so close to tastelessness
The Snow Patrol Tea Cups?
Test Icicles ride would close on day one. KISS will feature surely. Looking forward to seeing where they take this idea. You've gotta love the American way.
