Opryland USA 1972 Long Sleeve T-Shirt

Opryland USA (later called Opryland Themepark and colloquially "Opryland") was a theme park in suburban Nashville, Tennessee. It operated seasonally (generally March to October) from 1972 to 1997, and for a special Christmas-themed engagement every December from 1993 to 1997. During the late '80s, nearly 2.5 million people visited the park annually. Billed as the "Home of American Music," Opryland USA featured a large number of musical shows along with typical amusement park rides, such as roller coasters. Opryland became very successful during the mid-1970s. By the 1977 season, the park was the most popular tourist attraction in Nashville, drawing nearly two million guests annually, mostly from Tennessee and adjoining states.
