Is there something at the Opryland Hotel maybe, or Opry Mills (Shopryland)?

The only operating parks in Tennessee with roller coasters are Dollywood in Pigeon Forge and Libertyland in Memphis, which I believe is closed and being sold off piece-by-piece (including Elvis's favorite roller coaster, the Zippin Pippin).

I do not believe there is anything like that there. The Opryland hotel has a little boat ride through some of it's sections. If you are looking for something for young children, the Adventure Science Center is fun.

I was saddened to read of Libertyland's demise, I have great memories of the Zippin Pippin - an old wooden roller coaster. And don't get me started on Opryland's sellout to the mall obsession.

Elvis doensn't have anything on me.....I loved the Pippin!

Well, maybe he could close the park and ride it over and over and over.

Mid-South Fair memories!

And, Melissa, don't know what it is you are looking for. I miss Opryland also.

I went to Opryland many times but I don't remember it being indoors - was just part of it indoors?

When Opryland was open they had an indoor rollercoaster called "Chaos". Such a shame that it was replaced with a mall!!!

I'm in Nashville and there aren't any indoor amusement parks. Opryland closed years ago, to the dismay of all of us Gen-X'ers who grew up there. My children will never ride Chaos, the Wabash Canonball, Rockin' Roller Coaster, Little Deuce Coup, etc. etc. etc.

Ok, enough with my reminiscent whining.

There is a Dave & Buster's at Oprymills (the mall that replaced Opryland). Could that be what they are talking about?
