  • This is the Opryland USA theme park in Nashville, Tennessee, filmed in June 1990 by my dad using his VHS camera when he, my mom, my brother and I went there! Opryland USA fell fate to a mall in 1997, sadly. We really miss it!

    I remember as a small kid being terrified of the Wabash Cannonball. My dad kept trying to talk me into it and it took a couple of summers and I finally rode it, and it engendered a deep love for rollercoasters that persists to this very day. Sure, looking back, it's a hyper-tame coaster by current "Thrill" standards but it was so simple, effective, and most importantly iconic of the park. I took this place for granted, just assuming it would always be there. I wish it still was!

      Me too! I was waiting in line to get on it with my mom while my dad was filming that trip. I was 14 I think. The longer we stood there the more nervous we got until we finally chickened out and left the line. Now I regret that because it’s long gone.

    A large segment of my childhood and teenage years were from here. It was very sentimental to me and many others. Stupid decision to get rid of it. It brought families and friends together

      Me too! We traveled from northern Michigan almost every June as I was growing up to go to Opryland. It was really sad when heard they were shutting it down to build a mall.

    This makes me so nostalgic for the past. I think back on my Daddy taking my brother and me back in the mid 1970s. He would love to listen to all the music especially the bluegrass on this video. I was 8 or 9 at the time and he would let us go ride the rides by ourselves. Can you fathom that in 2021????? Dad would be arrested today, but the atmosphere was completely safe and no one was ever afraid because there were 100s of kids just like us plus parents. It was the most beautiful place in Nashville by far and hardly a week goes by that I don't think about those Friday nights as a child, eagerly awaiting our Saturday Opryland Trips!!

      Nope, it’s too dangerous for that now, but I’m 45 and I remember being a kid in a much safer world. My family and I really miss Opryland. Out of all the major amusement parks we went to, Disney World, both Busch Gardens, Cypress Gardens, Dollywood, it was always Opryland that we returned to over and over.
