Through the magic of Facebook I got linked to this website that contains pictures and descriptions of every single ride and attraction at Opryland, U.S.A.
It's been eleven years now since Opryland shut down, and I still miss it terribly. I miss the Screamin' Delta Demon and the Grizzly River Rampage the most. One of my only regrets in life is that I never got to go on the Wabash Cannonball.
Opry Mills is fun (especially when you're drunk), but it's a shoddy replacement. Six Flags and Dollywood are too far to just go for the day. And I can't imagine that Bible Park in Lebanon is going to be terribly exciting for anyone who doesn't believe that Adam and Eve rode dinosaurs to church.
So what are your Opryland memories?

Things That Make Me Sad

I had an older cousin who played guitar and sang with Porter Wagner. Each summer when cousins my age were visiting, my older cousin would get us in for the day...no parents watching over us, just unorganized fun. Now that was freedom.
I loved the floom zoom and the Wabash Cannonball, though I lost lots of loose change riding the Cannonball. Do you remember the "Angle Inn"? So corny, but for some reason I loved it. And the funnel cakes. Mmmm.
