- This is a collection of 5 videos I've uploaded consisting of simply home video footage of Opryland Theme Park that used to be in Nashville. The other day when I was out at the Oprymills / Hotel area it just made me sad seeing the remains of the Grizzly River Rampage. As I've gotten older I've realized how much I miss the park and dearly wish they didn't tear it down only to replace it with a mall.
From as early as I can remember, my family would get season passes every year and spend many many days here during the summer. It didn't have the rides that Six Flags did, but it still had a magical feel about it that I think benefited Nashville very much.
These videos come from two different years; 1 in 1989..and the other is 1990 (i think). Both are in the Fall and you will notice the halloween themes. I remember this being a fun time at Opryland. Still nothing beat just the good hot days of summer.
The 5th video (5 of 5) contains a trip on the train ride. I added a few titles of specific rides/places as we pass by them.
Enjoy! Feel free to leave comments of your memories at Opryland.

I could go on and on about my memories of Opryland. Of my family, I was the main one who wanted to ever go there. But, we all only went together to Six Flags in GA. When I was out on my own, I FINALLY made it a point that I would live my dream of going to Opryland. Three years in a row, I went at least once a year. Am I glad I finally lived that dream, cause, about two or four years after that last time I went to Opryland, I went back and it was GONE !!! My heart just SUNK !!! I had no idea how it had been closed down !!! I stayed overnight in Nashville, and, headed back home with a heavy heart. 😢 My favorite ride at Opryland was the one called "CHAOS" ! I would ride it at least five or ten times throughout my day there whenever I went. Such good memories !!!
There was nothing more serene than getting on the sky lift and floating over the park. Especially just as the lights came on in the afternoon. Opryland had a "feel" that will never be duplicated and will always be missed.
Just the 'sounds' of the park......all the trees around the park.......these are things I never appreciated, until now that their gone. Very sad........
Thank you so much for sharing these priceless memories. I worked at Opryland back in the 80s and to see the park and hear the familiar sounds, is a beautiful trip back in time. But, it’s so sad as well.
Randy Porter thanks for the message. Yup...it’s bitter sweet.
Aerial Hiking You’re right. A little more bitter than sweet for most. I’ve never heard of any closing, of any attraction or business, affecting so many people, the way Opryland did. I’ve talked to others who will get really emotional, to this day. Kinda cool though.
I swear I'm going to find myself in one of these videos! 😉 Thanks for sharing!! ❤
We went ever year from about 82 until it closed in 97. I wish my family could experience Opryland. It truly was a great theme park. So many memories and good times. I remember where every major ride was in that park and the years they added the new ones while I was alive. Such a magical place
Thank you so SO much for uploading these videos and letting us all relive some of our most treasured memories. Though we've all been to many amusement parks over the years, it just makes me so sad that neither of my kids never got to experience Opryland. It wasn't just any ol' amusement park.. it was so much more than that. Now it's just gone.. and nothing can replace it. =(
Thank you for these. I worked there in the early to mid 80s. These bring back memories of being young & how wonderful the park was.
Opryland was such a beautiful park with those trees all around . I loved it there but didn't think it would ever be a thing of the past.
This sure does bring back pleasant memories, having a season pass, seeing how many times me and my friends could go to Opryland before summer ended. Anybody remember the cantina show at the wild west saloon? Again good times and good memories!
And it was closed for a damn shopping mall..how damn dumb...
Choas was the make out ride when it got dark, lol
Among other things....lol
that raging rapids ride looks epic. you dont see the rapids going that quick on todays raging rapid rides....
It was always so much more crowded when I used to go!! Wow!! This is unreal.. it was shoulder to shoulder every time I went! 🤔
It was probably because this was during the fall season. It usually was a little less crowded then. The summer days though...it could be super crowded.
Yes these are priceless!
You just made my day. I have so many great memories there as a kid.
Thank you so much my last time here was in 1990 and such fond memories.
Very important life lessons were learned here for me. Do not wear jeans to a theme park or material that is denim if you might get wet. Also walking around all day and wet tennis shoes is painful.
THANK YOU for this!
you're welcome! :)
DUDE! 5:34 GRIZZLY RIVER!!!!!
So weird seeing this now, when I could literally be in this video, just a boy amazed at all this. It’s as if I’m watching the childhood me, and the now me is there with him.
Thanks for sharing the video
