A second investor group is looking to make some changes at the bankrupt Hard Rock Park, if their bid to buy it is successful.

This week, a company called FPI MB Entertainment put up a $25 million bid to buy the park.

Another group led by local water park owner Mark Lazarus plans to submit its own bid by next Tuesday.

Lazarus said they would make it more of a family fun park with a music theme, though without the Hard Rock name and they would change the pricing structure.

"We could open the gates up. You pay for your rides, you pay to go into a show, if you want an arm band to ride everything all afternoon, you can do that also," said Lazarus, who owns Wild Water & Wheels in Surfside Beach.

Lazarus said they would add some thrill rides, though not necessarily roller coasters.

He said they could start a marketing campaign quickly and get the park up and running by June.
