I quickly found out the water park is not country music themed, but just music themed in general. So, you can imagine my surprise when I walked into this beautiful water oasis and immediately heard “Love to Love You Baby,” a 1975 hit by the Disco Queen, Donna Summer. The live entertainment at the various restaurants and bars within the hotel also features country music. The Opryland complex has country music playing just about everywhere you walk in the hotel. Nashville, as you probably know, is a country music mecca. That said, and understanding how these parks operate, I knew I would be critical, but I also had great expectations, knowing the owner is a first-class operator. I have been to many indoor water parks as a reporter and was on the opening team at Ripley Entertainment when we opened the Great Wolf Lodge in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. However, the “regular” resort pool and spa are still free to all guests. They do not promise that a same-day package will be available. Opryland urges guests to buy a package in advance when they reserve their room and not wait until check-in. At Opryland, guests need to purchase a separate package, in addition to their room rate, for access. Opryland uses a different admissions model for SoundWaves than most water park resorts. Or as a poster in the elevator noted, “SoundWaves is not a water park. I don’t have to tell you that was a pretty good score!īut we’re gathered here today to share the joy of my latest, and I may say greatest, win of them all: an overnight stay at the Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennessee, with a two-day pass to SoundWaves, its 4-acre indoor/outdoor water park. ![]() My prize was a brand-new 45 rpm copy of Toni Basil’s 1982 hit “Mickey.” Then I hit a dry streak for many years until I won tickets for an Eagles concert in October 2017. The second big win for me came in the early 1990s in San Antonio during an IAAPA Summer Meeting when I won a trivia game by identifying The Bobby Fuller Four as the artists who sang “I Fought the Law.” The first thing I ever won was a clock at a church auction. For now, only hotel guests who purchase admission to the water park are admitted, but discounts for room-and-park tickets are available for Davidson County residents.įor more information, check out The Gaylord Opryland Resort Nashville website.My record for winning things is really bad. There will be a giant outdoor pool that will feature a LED movie screen.

With that being said, specific day passes may be offered based on availability to other overnight hotel guests on a limited, first-come, first served basis. Make Sure To Reserve the SoundWaves Water Experience Packageīut this is what you have to keep in mind: the only guaranteed access to the water attraction is reserving the SoundWaves Water Experience package. The temperature inside the indoor facility is maintained at 84 degrees year-round while the water temperature in the pool is a cool 82 degrees. The water attraction has limited capacity to prevent overcrowding (up to 900 guests) and keep the experience relaxed and comfortable. SoundWaves is reserved exclusively for guests who book the SoundWaves Water Experience overnight package. There’s also an activity pool with rock climbing and an obstacle course. The indoor attraction has over 111,000 square feet of upscale water activities, including a multi-slide tower, a FlowRider (double indoor surfing), rapid and lazy rivers and so much more. The fun, meanwhile, has no limits and no boundaries. More than 4,000 potted plants line the walls of the indoor water park. The aesthetics inside SoundWaves is clean and modern with a great mixture of water, flora, and fauna that contribute to a garden-like feel.
