I miss the Grizzly River Rampage

Posted on by

My brother sent me a link to this, which manages to be both fun and depressing. Over the holidays, the family went to Opry Mills and to see the Christmas decorations at the hotel; when you walk from the mall parking lot to the hotel, you walk right past some of the faux rock formations that used to be part of the Grizzly River Rampage. It kills me every time I see them.

    Sorry — didn’t mean to depress you, although I suppose that was inevitable. I’m glad to know the Timber Topper is still running somewhere, though. In fact, somewhere on that same site, you can download a model of the Timber Topper if you have Roller Coaster Tycoon.

    Yeah, I get nostalgic and a little depressed every time I go to “Shopryland”.
