Nights in White Satin - The Trip

[smartguest]

It takes a few cardboard cutouts, To turn a psychedelic adventure, into a regular boring dark ride.

[Johnnywasherefirst]

at least we have acid :)

[Getacookie]

The ride seemed beautiful. It's sad that it got removed....

[angeloflifelight]

They closed it?

[SallyCorp]

@angeloflifelight Unfortunaltely, they did. The park cost 400 million dollars to build and was only open for one year! ;-(

[angeloflifelight]

@SallyCorp 400 million?!!!! DO you know why that closed it? That's a huge chunk o' money down the drain! :P

[Sylphqueen1968]

this was very interesting to watch, didn't make it down there. john said it was a good time recording the special 'nights' for this. Not exactl an amusement park person anymore, but this was quite interesting. Thanks.

[HeySadamGuy]

Am I the only one who rode this ride on acid?

[HeySadamGuy]

I hate the cheezy ass piece of crap this got turned into

[topjock88]

in b4 all the acid heads saying this is nothing like being on acid

[Davecm008]

Riding this made me wanna drop acid.

[tejojo]

i think that HRP should be reimagined and rebuilt in Las Vegas, with this ride as one of the headliners!

[xXDiCkXSqUaDXx]

This is my favorite ride of all time. My dad absolutely adores this song, and I hoped I could one day bring him back to ride it with me just once, but sadly, it closed before I got the chance. If I ever become rich, or famous, or maybe even both, I am determined that somehow, I will have this ride reopened, so he, as well as the rest of the world, can experience its beauty firsthand. Thank you, SallyCorp. R.I.P. NIWS.

[salocin671]

excellent version of this song.

[NightDarkness18]

damn i miss this ride it was epic! One of my favourtie rides. Haha i remember the verry first time i went on it with my dad NO ONE told us about the 3D glasses and the 2 people behind us were just all amazed by it while my dad and i are confused and thought the people behind us were high untill later we realised then we got back in line found the glasses and went back on it was epic! I miss this park too thanks for making such an awesome ride! :)

[breannakailtin]

I was lucky enough to get to ride it :)

[killinwithoutchillin]

This was my dead uncles Prom Song. I cry every time I hear it. He was engaged to a woman, but one day he had gotten into a terrible auto accident with her. She made it out with a single cut or so. He was extremely less fortunate.

[Agentsub]

You should bring it back at another park.

[bigdrunkdave]

That old man in the front was tripping out. He must have got some of that bad stuff.

[TEEJAY9920]

I went on this while on acid. It changed my life!

[smartguest]

umm what drug did i take to have this experience

[puhl117]

I wish i understood the concept of this ride when i went. Now i get what it's supposed to be and i'll probably never go there again

[PaigeDWinter]

I am SO depressed that I never got to experience this. The Moodies are my favorite band :(

[sadalite]

why is it no one can say where the F this ride is FFS! WHERE IS/WAS THIS RIDE? I never heard of the Hard Rock Park.

[SallyCorp]

@sadalite Sorry, this ride was at Hard Rock Park in Myrtle Beach. It was a brand new park that was only open for a year before being sold and renamed "Freestyle Music Park" at which time the ride was replaced. RIP Nights!

[ImFunnyNiceToMeetYa]

@SallyCorp Ahh man I went there too! I love this song the ride was trippy I loved it the Led Zeppelin ride was hella fun

[smartguest]

@SallyCorp even in that form its gone forever due to problems with ownership the "Trip" was over with me running out of blotter 

[wileycoyote64]

@SallyCorp They were dorks for doing so!

[smartguest]

@SallyCorp in other words: someone turned this ride "cold turkey" and it wasn't as magical and deep as it was before.

[fuckfayetteville]

Does anyone have any info on the song? I know it isn't the original recording, and I'd like to know who this version is by.

[SallyCorp]

@fuckfayetteville

The song was re-recorded just for this ride by the band!

-Sally

[Pianoman555]

was an okay ride. i came all the way from norway to try it (2008), so i guess i got a little dissapointed. i mean, I know they could have made it better than that. and that red light dot was SO annoying, it kinda ruined the whole experience. and now... that monster thing? it's horrible and not because it includes monsters. i'm getting dissapointing goosebumps like only R.L Stine can give you when i think about how bad this ride has become. it's making me believe that 2012 is really gonna happen.

[SilverSteel3000]

This was truely the best dark ride ever built. RIP

[bmoreraves27]

One of my favorite rides of all time.... sad its gone

[bkev93]

God, I'm really depressed that I never got to ride this.  Any chance it'll open somewhere else? Doubt it.

[diamontvision]

An incredible ballad... a classic for ever...... continues here (++++)

Great song and great Video

[LOHLz]

i rode this it was great i didnt know it was about acid trips at the time tho....to bad its not up anymroe i miss it

[CrazyycclowN]

I wish I could have ridden this ride, it looked amazing. it was just like that scene in charlie and the chocolate factory when they're going through the tunnel, but with less nightmares and better music.

[EpicBob]

If they really had to get rid of this ride, why couldn't it be turned into Ghost blasters? What they have now looks like a middle school art project.

I was hoping this would be competition for Disney to bring Journey Into Imagination back but why should they now?

[heyjudeee]

I'd go on this maybe like about 6 times.

[ctdsnark]

Wait---this ride is gone?

That's a shame---until the day Disney comes up with a suitable replacement for "Journey Into Imagination",there was always this!

[hockeysinmyblood]

LOVED THIS RIDE!!!ESPECIALLY THE TUNNEL!! knights in whit satin was sooo much better than the stupid monstars of rock

[rsmcmanu]

i LOVED this ride!!! im so upset to see it go...

[tejojo]

Where can I get this re recording?

[swimmerbuddy90]

RIP, Hard Rock Park. Monstars of Rock is horrendous.

[indyfeed]

this RIDE WAS SO SICK!!

[claymashion123]

ahhhh i loved this ride i still have a pare of the glasses that were on it truly a work of art i am very disappointed that the new owners took it out but hey maybe they will make something just like it or maybe even better

[doctorbigfoot]

no its terrible now. Monstars of Rock is the new name, theres a video of it on youtube if u want to see what they did to it

[DinosaursWillDie999]

yeah knights in white satin the trip was an amazing ride...the new Monstars of Rock is sooooooo horrible

[hockeysinmyblood]

completely agree with you

[wicced29418]

I agree that it is a shame, and it was a great ride, However you Can't blame the new owners. The theme and music was the intellectual property of Hard Rock.

The New owners realized that the park would continue to fail if they paid the outragous price that Hard Rock was going to charge for it. Give them another year or so to build capital to make this ride great again.

[howyou2]

@wicced29418  Yeah. And Now The ride and park are dead forever pretty much.

[wicced29418]

@howyou2 Have they started dismantling the park yet? If not there is always room for hope!

[howyou2]

@wicced29418 Well they alredy took the ride apart and turned it into something else, now the whole property is being foreclosed on.

[scqueenfan]

One of the coolest rides I've ever been on... It's such a shame it's gone.

[EpicBob]

I wish I had seen this in person, I did not get to the park in time before it went BK. I would like to see an even better moody blues ride, with its own castle like building, with medley of MB insturmental songs in the loop. Any chance something like that could happen? Actually, I though "House of Four Doors" would have made a better ride but NIWS looks like it was something.

[rsmcmanu]

I loved this ride and ill miss it

[brandon29532]

this was he best ride in the park

[tejojo]

Why did Freestyle kill the magic of this Disney-quality dark ride? It was perfectly fine for the new park, but all they could've done was to change the name.

[DinosaursWillDie999]

yeah...lol

[medusa206]

This was by far the best dark ride I have ever been on! I rode it 4 times the day I was there last year.

[FireTiger941]

It's funny how they say this ride wasn't "family friendly", when they're showing kids in the video!

This had nothing to do about controversy, it's all about selling out and making a buck.

This ride, though gone, will always hold a special place in my heart.

[Ryan120420]

Well, atleast it lives on in video.

Such a shame to see such a unique ride removed for a generic pile of crap.

[nycgrl74]

Yea, I can't wait to ride through the cardboard cutouts that are there now.

[yurfacedrumm]

the owners are idiots and i feel that buying annual passes has wasted my time and money. I told the manager "I bought annual passes for the good park, so wheres it at?". and he had nothing to say

[nycgrl74]

Since I'm not a roller coaster person, this was one of most enjoyable attractions at the "old" Hard Rock Park. FMP is not the same. To take away this ride is madness!

Best Dark Ride ever!

[mirandabrittney]

this ride alone should have been enough to keep the hard rock park afloat. epic ride. nothing else can take its place. i treasure both times i was able to ride it!!! RIP... :(

[xXDiCkXSqUaDXx]

true dat!

[gardencitystud2008]

This video is not the updated ride. It does not show how the lights at end were color and how the balls were weird colors.

[lordgonchar]

Best dark ride ever made.

[KingsDominionLvr]

What a brilliant ride, probably my favorite dark ride ever. Thanks for the new edit.

[atomicbear]

Thanks for posting the new edit. It does show off the ride better. I will be interested to see how the transformation to a new ride goes as well.

[ReesiePuffs64]

THANK YOU! The last version had too much pointing! This shows off the true brilliance of this ride!

[ryancarn]

great ride, glad I got to ride it will it was up.  Hope to see some more of the music dark rides in the future

[thornebush5]

By far the best thing to come out of Hard Rock Park.
