Only one ride was shown :oops:

The food and religion aspects turned me off the video though.

Enjoyed the video, but I agree that they could have highlighted more of the rides in the park as well. (I looked on the Dollywood web site and there are quite a few -- looks like fun!) That aside, the vibe in the park was a nice combo of upbeat and relaxed.

The couple who filmed the video, did a good job of sharing Dolly's life -- growing up from humble beginnings (so to speak), especially with the home (replica) that housed such a large family. Religion was important to Dolly, and I thought the way it was presented in the park was respectful to all. And what an amazing musical and movie career she's had -- I especially loved the tour bus, and thought that was a very unique attraction!

That's what they ate. There are many other options available. As for the religion part well that's always an individuals right to agree with or disagree with. I can tell you that it is not extreme enough to worry about. After a number of visits to Dollywood, I can't say that I even remember that part. Since it is set up as a personal belief of Dolly, not an influencing kind of message. To me it was just them telling me what she believed not what I should.

They didn't mention them by name, but did show a number of different coasters. Most all have themes. The wooden coaster is it's own theme. Ride an old fashioned wooden coaster. They have a lot and most are pretty intense.

I do want the cinnamon bread though. There is a channel on Youtube that I follow. They have a Dollywood episode.

We got a deal on a full year back around Christmas for ridiculously cheap. They usually run it 2 or 3 times a year so keep an eye out and good luck

I did a quick search and looks like there might be a deal for educators for $2.99 a month. Or since my niece will be living with us and she is a college student that is $1.99 a month for students.

Dollywood maybe bigger than Magic Kingdom, but not by much if it is, but certainly not WDW as a whole. It's hard to tell exactly how much space it takes up because of it broken up layout and elevation. I went one time along with my grandkids (they were young at the time) and the kids area was awful, but guess what it had there. Flying elephants and swirling teacups. Sound familiar? It just seemed more run down. Of course being in the Smoky Mtns it has more winter weather and at that time would close right after Christmas until about April.

Being closed right after Christmas doesn't stop Guests seeing Dollywood have snow and would be something that @MinnieM123 would want although the snow stopped at a certain point of the video:
