Thrillist Travel just put out a list of the “Best New Things to do in America in 2019.” On the list are museums, distilleries, restaurants and hotels. Ironically, the item on the list we were the most excited about was a theme park:
SoundWaves at Gaylord Opryland.
Towards the end of 2018 we had the pleasure of working with Atlanta-based BLUR Workshop on custom wall-coverings for the party rooms for this massive fun-spot. Here’s a peak at one of them at the time of installation.

Nashville, Tennessee
Expected Opening: May 2019 (Indoor facilities are open now)
As hot as Nashville is as a vacation destination, it’s a seven-hour drive to the closest beach. If you’re looking for aquatic entertainment, winters are too cold and summers are too oppressively humid to comfortably to hang out poolside. That's all changing with the opening of SoundWaves at the Gaylord Opryland Resort, a property so sprawling you could probably spot it from space. The indoor section is already in operation, but when SoundWaves fully opens this summer, it'll have more than 200,000 square feet of water-based fun. Think water slides and tube flumes lined with LED lights, a 315,000-gallon wave pool, plus a gigantic movie screen and speakers throughout the space. It's not all shrieking kids, either -- there will be designated adults-only areas like bars, lounges, private cabanas, and party rooms perfect for bachelorette parties.
