Wabash Cannonball was a steel roller coaster located in the State Fair area of Opryland USA in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
History
The roller coaster was introduced in late June 1975.[1]
Premier Parks bought the ride and twelve others from the closed park and placed them on the site of the former Old Indiana Fun-n-Water Park in Thorntown, Indiana, USA.[2] The ride remained in storage until 2003, when it was ultimately scrapped.
