That's quite a collection of photos. Thanks for posting those. I remember going on vacation with my family every summer to visit my Dad's side of the family for one week. Once we got there, we'd watch the weather to pick a day that would be best to visit Opryland. I grew up visiting the park once every summer. My cousin, Stephen was one of the ride-ops on Screamin Delta Demon in the summer of '94.
I happen to have three defunct parks listed in my Defunct Parks section on my site. Opryland USA, Old Indiana Fun Park and Williams Grove.
If you visit my site, there are several photos of the Opryland coasters in storage at the Old Indiana Fun Park.

(I did not take any of those photos, they were taken specially for me by Robert Burtz and Scott & Carol Holmes (theacers))
That's Screamin Delta Demon rusting away.
The following photos were taken by either my Dad or my Grandfather.
Me enjoying the mist/wave of water coming off of Old Mill Scream when I was 14.
General Mills cereal photo!
It's a shame the park never made it to 27.
Yes, I was crying in this photo. June 1998, less than a week after I graduated from High School, my grandfather (RIP) took me and my dad out to see what was left of Opryland. (The sign says: AREA CLOSED)
If anyone played RCT/RCT2, I recreated Opryland for those games. I'm trying to find the files since I haven't played in eons. If you are interested in the file, please send me an email using the email feature of the forums.
