How does Dollywood strike you?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
You just know going in that Dollywood’s going to be tacky, hokey, a hillbilly Disneyland, says travel writer William Schemmel.
But soon after passing through the turnstiles, he says, you look around and think: Disney could take some cues from Dolly.
The theme park created by Dolly Parton in Pigeon Forge, Tenn., is full of country music, country food, crafts and rides. Schemmel says Parton has given the park a soft Appalachian spin.
You’re never more than a few steps, or a few minutes, from live country, bluegrass, gospel and pop, on a half-dozen stages more than 40 times a day.
Have you been to Dollywood? Did you like or dislike it?
If you haven’t been, would you go?
