Memories of Opryland
Opryland, USA, which opened in 1972, was the first major amusement park dedicated to live performances. For more than 26 years, a 212-acre area of eastern Davidson County in Tennessee was the Home of American Music and so much more to millions of music and thrill-ride fans. As any kid who rode the Grizzly River Rampage or the Wabash Cannonball can attest to, howls of laughter and screams of joy were an important part of the experience.
Nashville Public Television gives fans of the Tennessee amusement park, and viewers throughout the world a chance to journey back to the park in NPT's original documentary "Memories of Opryland." This segment of the documentary looks at the great rides that made Opryland USA worth a visit as well as Opryland's biggest fan: Roy Acuff.
