First off, thanks for all the comments on the post about Opryland USA. Unreal how much that park played a huge part in our lives. As I kept reading the posts, people kept asking about where are the rides now. Well, thanks to Susan Nichols, via FB, she directed me to a website that has where some of the rides are.
Enjoy!

So, there you have it. They have found homes, I guess and have moved on to other people. We should be happy that they are happy. I don’t know, I am a damn mess right now.
Thank you again Susan Nichols for your help.
