We will need a shuttle bus that brings them in from the parking lot, lets them vote on changes, and then shuttles them straight back to their cars.

This park is planned for an area on the back side of my neighborhood. There are signs in many of my neighbor's yards screaming against this. Many reasons. Traffic being a main concern. The exits you would take to get off are already jammed with traffic. And a fairly new exit was made for decrease the problem. Then they built a new shopping center down from that exit. Hence, the problem continues. And the county wants to impose a tax to help pay for this. I DON'T THINK SO, JOE!!!

It's a good idea. But, I don't think it would catch on as planned.

And as the article states about Adam and Eve...it would have to be an adult park. If Adam and Eve are truly depicted as they were in the garden, they had better have some really nice...uh...you know what I am getting at.

I wish they would rebuild another Opryland. I miss that park.
I remember as a kid my middle brother and I, living across Briley Pkwy from the park, would dodge traffic and sneak in and ride all day.

And I also like the FOTW ideas. I mean, the terrain alone begs for some amusment park type rides. Ten Commandment Mountain is a blast. I remember as a kid, running down that hill with my friends until gravity kicked in and I would plant face-first into the grass. Then roll down almost uncontrollably almost hitting those concrete sheep.

I only went to Opryland once but I loved it. I really hated to hear it when it closed.

And to replace it with an oversized mall...geez. I get asthama just walking that place.

I remember when we were hit with a big storm and the Cumberland River spilled over it's banks and flooded the park. I saw on the news, Roy Acuff (who lived on the park property) riding in a flat bottom boat through the park just sobbing. But they did bounce back.
I also remember when the only rollercoaster was the Timber Topper. Three downward loops around the big trees . It was built amongst the trees which was really cool. In my child-like mind, I always imagined building a treehouse in one of those trees and riding that coaster all day long.

Does anyone else find this idea of a park tacky?

If I had the chance to go to a bible themed park, or say Disneyland/world no question or hesitation in my mind I'd be with Mickey & Minnie.

A lot of the junk the Christian Industrial Complex cranks out is tacky and disgusting. Hopefully someday Christians in general will consume enough garbage and finally throw up and come to their senses. :-& Though I kinda doubt it. :(

And just to think my nephew and his wife were planning on visiting FOTW this year. A new Biblical sight they have never seen.

Hey! I like that mall!!

But I did have some awfully fond times at Opryland USA. That's the ONLY place I ever enjoyed a rollercoaster ride.

The absolute BEST times were at the Opryland Hotel, though. Sliding down the bannisters, skating in an empty ballroom, getting lost in the gardens, stealing leftover food off takein trays, playing in the guitar stamped ashtrays, etc......

Yep, sister...count me in, I agree. I could see opening a park and keeping it family oriented. But, we are to share the gospel in a personal individual way to those God brings across our paths. That's just my opinion.
