I recommend you read the whole advertisement. I recently paid $84 plus tax for one day at Dollywood (which I do not regret), but back in the day you could get a whole lot of entertainment for $39.95. I wish I had a DeLorean or a Tardis some other form of time travel machine to take me back. Of course, back then some people complained about how EXPENSIVE $39.95 was. And how dare they charge over $1 a gallon for gas.

It’s interesting to think that this year marks 25 years since the closing of Opryland theme park, which in my humble opinion was not one of Nashville’s most shining moments. Especially since they replaced it with a mall.

But I have memories. And occasionally I’ll see a vintage picture or ad that brings it all back like it was yesterday. Good times.
