Amusement Park Draws Inspired by 'Satin'

When we think of pure, unrestrained excitement, two words invariably come to mind -- "Moody Blues." As such, we're thrilled to hear that the folks behind South Carolina's Hard Rock Park -- the amusement park that seems to be designed to lure the AARP set into situations that can't be good for the blood pressure -- have commissioned a ride based on the band's 'Nights in White Satin.'

The park's keepers have released some details about the ride -- including tales of "a dream-like entranceway, complete with interactive displays leading to a swirling walk-through vortex" -- all of which make about as much sense to us as the lyrics to the original song. Now if they'd decided to use 'Ride My See-Saw,' we might get in line for an E-ticket.

Obviously this reviewer has never been on a "ride" with the Moody Blues. He has no idea what he's missed.

I'd ride any ride where a Moodies song is being played. Experience a Concert of there's and you will too.

Forever Moodies!!!!

"AARP set"?? It's obvious that this so called
"reviewer" has never seen the MOODIES Live. Ho hum, never mind.

Rock on, Moodies...

Hey.. Maybe they can fashion a ride after a Megadeth song, Hi speed dirt. They take you to the top of a building and shove you off face first!

I bet a ride based on "Truckin" would be cool. Free doobie supplied at the start.

Oh, my god. I love that. I can think of so many different song lyrics that I'd like to ride! We covered sexy rock stars awhile ago on Lust Bites (a group of 16 erotic writers who spend more time lusting than biting).

Here is one of the posts on the subject of sexy rock stars:

P.S. We're not necessarily suitable for work, but we're always ready to rock.

If we have to explain their lyrics to you, you wouldn't understand anyway.
