I don't know. I might. I liked Graceland. Graceland was cool and creepy and American all at once.

And I like weird theme parks and the like. So, yeah, I might go to Abbaworld, if I wasn't doing anything that day.

Anyone else?

Leshawn | 109 comments I would go to Abbaworld. There are so few things that are truly unique experiences and that would have to be unique! I saw "Bjorn Again" the ABBA cover band and loved it.

Dan Schwent (akagunslinger) They probably wouldn't let me in. I wouldn't be able to contain all the sarcasm and mockery long enough to get through the security check.

Graceland was indeed cool, creepy, and distinctly American. While it was tacky, I was surprised that no one was dressed in rhinestone jumpsuits or anything. I saw a guy wheeping at the gravesites near the end.

I agree, Dan. I went to mock and left moved.

Did you spring for the package that let you see Elvis's collection of cars and walk though his planes?

RandomAnthony | 14536 comments Hell yes. I was going full-in.

Me too. I wasn't planning another Memphis trip any time soon.

Did someone say ABBAWorld?

I say me going there is a HELL TO THE YES!

I make no apologies for being a big ABBA fan. Just the other day, when I was dropping my daughter off to the daycare, I was singing "Waterloo" at the top of my lungs.

Heather (heatherjoy) | 384 comments As someone who used to live in Memphis, I've often wondered why people would pay to visit. Very interesting. I'd see Abbaworld if I was in the area. But I wouldn't visit just to go to Abbaworld.

HELL TO THE NO to ABBAWorld, and I don't see a trip to Graceland in the near future either.

Jackie "the Librarian" | 8991 comments I like ABBA in careful moderation. I waaaay overdid ABBA as a kid. But I love "Take a Chance on Me."

Youndyc | 1255 comments Umm, no.

And I love Abba songs. Am singing one (to myself - I am at work, after all) right now, in fact.

Julie | 568 comments Big YES!
I would wear a white spandex jumpsuit and a wig(ala Muriel's Wedding) and dance everywhere I went.
AWESOME!
