Many of the locals in the area, note that I said MANY and not ALL, do not give off the most "clean" vibe, be it dirty, worn, generation-to-generation clothing, or the plain fact that the individual has not seen fresh water in weeks. I do not mean this in a disrespectful way, I am just making a pure observation of a very small percent of Dollywood's local guests.
I would imagine than those who have "not seen fresh water in weeks" couldn't afford to go to Dollywood. Besides, this kind of poverty can be found all over America, though there are probably greater pockets of it in East Tennessee. The reason why Dollywood has and enforces its clothing standards is that its management doesn't just desire to be a family park, it actually proves it by kicking out those who violate its decency standards.
