You know the name change is official when the first sign goes up. That's what happened Friday at the former Hard Rock Park.

Crews took down the Hard Rock sign and put up a Freestyle Music Park sign.

It's just the first of many that will have to be replaced.

The park is scheduled to open in just a month and half, which doesn't give the owners much time to advertise the new name.

Chamber of Commerce officials say the park's new owners have six months of work to do in six weeks.

"They've done a good job of reaching out to other local businesses, so they've got their work cut out for them for the next six weeks. But we're hopeful they'll be able to get it up and running and start out the summer with a huge smash," said Brad Dean, president of the Myrtle Beach Area Chamber of Commerce.

Dean says the key for the park will be to have all the rides and the staff ready to go - and he thinks they'll do that.
