With an auction that began on March 31st and continues through April 7th, Auctionwire is currently auctioning 15 individual tickets for the first ride on the inaugural run of the Led Zeppelin - The Ride.

A joint creative connection between Hard Rock Park and legendary guitarist Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin - The Ride was conceived to give Led Zeppelin fans the ultimate amusement park experience.

Each prize pack to be bid on in this one-of-a-kind auction includes a seat on the coasters very first ride, a signed Led Zeppelin poster and commemorative certificate declaring the ride rs place in history. The rider will also have his or her ride forever commemorated with a photo taken at the event. To make the auction even more exciting one winning bidder will ride next to Steven Goodwin Hard Rock Park CEO who will also match the winning bidders bid and double the donation.

Only fifteen individual seats are available for auction in this highly anticipated maiden voyage of the bands flagship roller coaster. The auction, which is taking place on eBay, is being held exclusively by Auctionwire. Bidders may visit www.auctionwire.com/hardrockpark to bid. The auction began on March 31, 2008 and ends on April 7,2008. Due to unprecedented interest the company is urging participants to get their bids in early.

Led Zeppelin - The Ride, named by Jimmy Page, will also feature the Zeppelin smash-hit "Whole Lotta Love" which was selected for the ride by Jimmy himself. The bands hit will be pumped out on the coasters powerful 64 speakers, generating 1200 watts of music as the coaster hurtles the screaming rider down its ¾ mile long track at speeds hitting 65 mph.

The ride itself features 6 inversions and reaches an apex of a 155 foot climb and descent, before riders are taken through a 120 foot tall loop, a 95 foot tall cobra roll, and even experience weightlessness in a 75 foot zero G roll. The ride traverses a large part of Hard Rock Park, in places taking riders racing over the water. The designers also pushed the envelope by making the coaster as tall as the Federal Aviation Administration will allow in the country.

This unique experience, slated for April, will also allow riders to get a sneak-peek into what the Hard Rock Park will offer visitors, ahead of its June grand opening. The 50-acre rock 'n' roll theme park will feature individually themed music environments to cater to music fans diverse tastes.

Along with Led Zeppelin - The Ride, Hard Rock Park will also boast four other roller coasters amidst a wide variety of other ride experiences, ranging from a full water park, bumper cars and racing games and many areas for the kids. A rock and roll park would not be complete without music, with Hard Rock Park featuring exactly that: a 10,000 seat amphitheatre which will showcase live daily shows and special concerts.
