Hype:

Opryland USA (later called Opryland Theme park and colloquially referred to simply as Opryland) was an amusement park in suburban Nashville, Tennessee. It operated seasonally (generally March to October) from 1972 to 1997, and for a special Christmas-themed engagement every December from 1993 to 1997. During the late 1980s, nearly 2.5 million people visited the park annually. Billed as the "Home of American Music," Opryland USA featured a large number of musical shows along with typical amusement park rides such as roller coasters, carousels, and the like.

Story

We stopped in Nashville and spent a day at Opryland and discovered that Country music wasn't Laura's thing. The twang was very pronounced. It was fun but hard with two small children.
