Adding to the Park’s repertoire of genuine rock memorabilia, band members also presented Hard Rock Park with their last Mellotron, a precursor to the modern synthesizer, which came to define the “Moody Blues sound.” “The original recording was a two track master. This new version will give us ultimate flexibility to place sounds in different places around the ride” said Justin Hayward, lead singer and composer for The Moody Blues.

“I was talking with a contact at the Moscow Symphony about another project when this opportunity came up. So we decided to record all the orchestra parts, matching the originals, in Moscow later this month.

It’s going to be very exciting revisiting this beautiful orchestration again.” An anchor attraction in Hard Rock Park’s British Invasion area, “Nights in White Satin - The Trip” will incorporate sights, sounds, smells and tactile techniques to immerse riders of all ages in one of rock’s most imaginative and emotional classics. The Moody Blues are enthusiastic about offering guests an unrivaled multi-sensory experience.

“This unique attraction will evoke fantastic memories for countless Moody Blues fans and at the same time introduce new audiences to an incredible style of music,” said Steven Goodwin, Hard Rock Park CEO. “Nights in White Satin” was the signature song of the concept album ‘Days of Future Passed’ which was a groundbreaking album. This attraction will, again, break new ground in providing a fully immersive experience.
