UNION CITY, Tenn. - Discovery Park of America has learned that Popes Rides and Concessions will not be setting up on the Great Lawn for the Fourth of July weekend as planned. "This is an unfortunate change of plans," said CEO Jim Rippy. "However, we have contracted with a couple of different inflatable vendors to set up their bounce houses, obstacle courses and basketball goals on the Great Lawn throughout the weekend." Rippy went on to add that there will be no additional charge for children to enjoy the inflatables and train rides on the Great Lawn, they will be free with park admission. "We are disappointed about the Carnival, but we are glad that we have found the inflatables and some special food trucks to fill in throughout the weekend," Rippy added.
