    I would prefer that were a view of Opryland U.S.A. theme park. Still sad about losing it.

    Nashville was once in the running for a Polercoaster: https://www.tennessean.com/story/money/2016/06/30/nashville-makes-short-list-vertical-roller-coaster/86557074/ Sigh...

    I really dig the curvilinear roofline and yes it reminds me of MCC.

    What I meant was I thought there was a monorail just to get around the airport and to the hotel etc. I remember a rendering showing the layout, but maybe I misunderstood the type of rail.

    Whatever happened to the monorail I thought was included in this expansion? Please don't tell me it got cancelled.

    I dig that Intamin roller coaster track! Gonna be hard to get a coaster train under there though. Oh Intamin. And yes please Space Mountain (not Intamin)!

    Hope Hope it's not the same Vekoma you can ride at Kentucky Kingdom. I think Hangman at Opryland (now at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom) is this model pictured or close. Please let it be something original and better like the newer Vekomas or a snappy B&M.

    So excited for Edley's and the new Nicoletto's just over the hill to open in Donelson soon! Any other "non-chain" coming too?

    And a lot of park enthusiasts are saying Dollywood's service/direction has really been off lately compared to 5-6 years ago. I hate that they removed the cave walk-through and just made a paved walkway. Hopefully something better comes of that! The fact that they built a new themed area called Wildwood Grove but completely bulldozed all the trees/foliage was a major head scratcher too.

    Truth! I remember my family visiting Dollywood when it was formerly known as Gold Rush Junction in the late late 60's/early 70's. As for attractions it only had a log flume ride and mad mouse coaster plus the historic train ride that used to seem to travel so far outside the park. Before that it was known as Rebel Railroad with just the train ride. In addition to Opryland, Nashville at one time had Fair Park at the fairgrounds which had a medium size wooden coaster, Skyliner, in addition to other amusement rides:

    Unbelievable! We watched on a high hill 17 miles away and it was still impressive that far away.

    Super interesting stats and thank you for providing. I thought Houston was the 4th most populous USA metro, but now that is Dallas and Houston is 5th? Also, I thought Birmingham had slipped behind Huntsville in metro pop. stats.

    Is this where Bar Jovi is going?

    Nicoletto's Italian Kitchen has announced on their Facebook page that they are opening a third location in Donelson! It will be located at 2619 Lebanon Pike. Welcome to Donelson!

    That was Thrillopolis. Ed Hart of Kentucky Kingdom was involved: https://www.nashvillescene.com/news/the-thrill-opolis-is-gone/article_28ddb2ec-e83d-514c-bc60-7de3360dbf5a.html How did I only just find this thread?! As a lifelong theme park junkie, I would love a more family oriented entertainment area along the east bank at least - rides, shows, shops, etc. With so many folks moving here as well as the convention business, I feel we need more entertainment options to offer. I suppose we will see what happens with Storyville Gardens.

    Does anyone know if the cities still in the running for the FIFA Cup have enclosed stadiums with roofs or retractable roofs?
  17. Markitecture
    How many acres is that? Wonder if it might be big enough for Storyville Gardens.

    Thank you so much! Looking forward to all the scoops!

    Thank you! I've been perusing for a good half year and finally decided to join. I've lived in Nashville since '98, and the more recent construction changes are unreal. I love the site and updates in this forum!

    Stoked for Edley's in this area!
