Summary
The leftover ruins of the defunct <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opryland_USA" class="extiw" title="en:Opryland USA">Opryland USA</a> (in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nashville,_Tennessee" class="extiw" title="en:Nashville, Tennessee">Nashville, Tennessee</a>), which took its name from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Ole_Opry" class="extiw" title="en:Grand Ole Opry">Grand Ole Opry</a> music venue (which was originally located in downtown Nashville but moved next door to the new theme park in the 1970s). What is now the enormous <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gaylord_Opryland_Resort_%26_Convention_Center" class="extiw" title="en:Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center">Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center</a> opened soon afterwards and began expanding into the empty land near the park, curtailing expansion. The theme park closed at the end of 1997, and was mostly demolished to make room for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opry_Mills" class="extiw" title="en:Opry Mills">Opry Mills</a> shopping center. Only a tiny portion of the old park remains, this is a photo of the former Grizzly River Rampage. These sections will be demolished for the next Opryland hotel expansion.
