Opryland (Carwardine Parks)

Opryland is an amusement park located in Nashville, Tennessee, U.S. that is owned by and operated by Carwardine Parks. It first opened in 2003.

History
The new Opryland park was built 5 miles from the original park. Carwardine was originally going to make their version of Opryland themed to four different genres of music the planned areas were Country USA (country music), British Rock! Garden (rock music), Popryland (pop music), and Rasta Reggae Island (reggae music). But the plans were scrapped and the only two areas that made it into the park were Country USA and British Rock! Garden with the music theming being downplayed and Boardwalk replaced Popryland and Grizzly River Canyon replaced Rasta Reggae Island in the final plans.
