Nashville Valley Amusement Park was a small amusement park at 2444 Music Valley Drive in Nashville, Tennessee, near the Opryland area. Its owners, John A. Hobbs and his son John C. Hobbs, announced in May 2005 that they were closing it after two difficult years, citing weather and road construction, and offered its rides for sale, including bumper cars, two roller coasters and a Ferris wheel nearly 50 years old. Its coasters were Python, an E&F Miler family coaster that had run at Jeepers as Python Pit and later went to Spring Park and 4D Farm, and King, a Pinfari Zyklon that had toured Swiss fairs before coming to Nashville.
