Is Dollywood the BEST Theme Park in the USA??

  • While RVing in Tennessee, we decided we needed a day of roller coaster fun! We are big lovers of theme parks and have been taking our kids to Disney and Universal for years! But we have never been to Dollywood, until now. Reading reviews, Dollywood is rated as the best theme park in the USA... we were skeptical as we have experienced great theming at others, but we have open minds. Going during the summer was hot but it was not as busy as we expected which was really nice! We were able to ride so much in one day!!!! And there are way more roller coasters than we expected! It was a great day! And I could see after being there why it has such a high rating. We will be back again!

    I am so glad you went to Dollywood and got some of the cinnamon bread. I have never been to Dollywood, but would love to go. I live close to Charlotte, NC so it is so close to the Gatlinburg area. I am so blessed to live 4 hours from the beach and 2 hours to the mountains. Yes, the mountains are amazing. If you like to hike there are so many places to hike. If I was younger, I would love to do a day hike of the Appalachian Trail. There are so many waterfalls in the mountains and beautiful streams. The Smokies are really amazing, especially when the leaves turn. The Blue Ridge Parkway is nice too. Yall need to come back and stay longer. Boone, NC - Banner Elk area is nice too. Dollywood is so different from Disney. Dolly has really made the park very special.

    Going back in a week or so 10/10-10/13 for last rides on Lightning Rod before they replace the launch.
    IMO, park earns the reputation it has here. Rides are top tier, view is top tier, prices are very reasonable, and the staff are all awesome. It has room to grow, but what it does, it does spectacularly well

Anyone who says differently isn’t truly handicapped or is completely ignorant or blinded by the tier Disney obsession! There’s a good reason why Dollywood was pretty recently named the best park in the world, beating Disney!

Dollywood has its own medical facilities for its employees and the pricing is very reasonable.
