Pigeon Forge, TN: Part 5 (Dollywood)

Today's adventure is at Dollywood conceptualized by the talented and great Dolly Parton. It is quite expensive to go there, but it was fun. My advice is to buy Dollywood tickets at the various discount ticket outlets that are in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We were there from 1.00 PM until closing time at 8.00 PM!

Surprisingly enough, there are a number of arts and crafts booths spread throughout the property. There was a bee-keeping house, many live performances (some by Dolly's kin - but we did not see them), and lots of games and rides! Some of the rides we rode on included a Veggie Tales rollercoaster (pretty twisty), Ferris Wheel, Round-About, bumper cars (AWESOME!), a water soaker ride, and others. The weather was good, and there were not many lines. In some cases, we were able to ride on the rides multiple times!

BTW, The Thunderhead was AMAZING!

I thought this was an interesting tidbit. When this question comes up on Jeopardy, I can answer it! BTW, Yum is eating a lollypop made out of sorghum.
