  • On a recent trip to the US, I stopped by the Opry Mills Mall (on former site of the Opryland theme park) and the Gaylord Opryland Resort. Despite the fact that the Opryland theme park is long gone, this resort remains incredibly popular. I wanted to figure out why, and spent some time walking around it.

    Eventually, I came to the following realisation: Gaylord Opryland is a theme park without any rides or admission fees. If you're curious to know what I mean by that, then I hope the video will help explain everything!

    So, The Opryland Hotel decorates extravagantly for Christmas. Water Fountain shows with coordinated music and light displays, Christmas scenes, and tons of indoor and outdoor lights, and an outdoor nativity and more. I grew up going with my family, then as a teen with friends, and later as an adult taking my son. I even remember going on an elementary school field trip there once. I need to take my nephew. And book a room for a self-care night for myself since I was curious about staying the night there as a teen.

    One of my favorite places ever to just meander and walk around, been lost here so many times

      Yup, as you'll see from the video, I was a big fan of wandering around here too!

    I live in Tennessee & I've still never been here. Pretty cool to see a good tour of it.

      Definitely worth checking out if you have a free evening! 👍🏻

    It actually does have a boat ride, but it's just a narrated tour of the hotel's gardens. Nowhere near as exciting as what used to be at the amusement park. Thanks for the great video!

    • @DeadMallWalking
      @DeadMallWalking  Před rokem +1

      Yup, I think I mention the boat ride in the video! Kinda wish I'd done it now...

    It was the dumbest thing to do away with the park to build a mall. I spent tons of time there as a teenager. It was really sad to see Opryland Resort flooded with the 2010 Nashville flood. Great job on this video.

      Thanks Randy! Yeah, the consensus I get from folks who were old enough to have spent time at Opryland see what's there now as trading down.

    The hotel architecture is incredible. I bet it would be a cool movie set, especially for a horror movie. :😀

      Ooh, now that's an interesting idea. The place is such a biome that you could probably survive in there forever, even after the apocalypse!

      Well, the family is worth north of $2 billion! For that kinda money, I’d learn to live with the name…
