Opry Land

got put in jail there in 1972

My cousins were up from Florida, visiting (3 boys: Rickey, Dennis, and Ronnie) so we were all down at Nashville checking out the new Opry Land. they had this ski-lift type ride that went up and right over the center of the park. The 4 of us rode on it and spat out the window... but couldn't tell that it had any effect, so we loaded up our pockets with rocks, and rode it again. We were throwing the rocks out of the window into the duck pond. When we got to the end of the ride, the attendant shoved a big key in the door and locked us all in it....then they pushed our car off onto a side track and into a warehouse and left us there... In about 20 minutes, one of their security guards, (they were dressed like Tenn State Troopers) came and gave us a stern talk, and finally let us go. I was about 13 or 14 at the time, and have never told my parents about it... That was the beginning of mye "Life Of Crime" ha ha haaa
