    Micah Stephens Anthony ART 499 May 1, 2016 Dollywood or Bust: A Theme Park and its Community Dollywood is a theme-park set in the mountains of East Tennessee. Located in Sevier County, Tennessee, Dollywood is right next door to Smoky Mountain National Park and is one of the most visited attractions in the state of Tennessee. Dollywood has grown an industry of tourism around Sevier County, specifically on the Pigeon Forge strip, that has made a huge impact on the community. While there are differing opinions on what tourism does to a community, the economy that it builds in this particular area allows the community to sustain itself. Dolly Parton, the namesake and figure head of the park, has often said of herself, “It takes a lot of money to look this cheap” (N.p.). Similarly, some say that the tourism on the strip looks cheap, but it takes substantial funding to support a community sustained by tourism. While Dollywood’s opening season was in 1986, the park has a history dating back to 1961. Dollywood as we know it now has taken many different names through the years, beginning in 1961 as Rebel Railroad. Rebel Railroad, owned and operated by the Robins Brothers opened for its first season in 1961(“Historic Attractions”). The park focused on local heritage with a coal fired steam train and saloon, but didn’t have many other attractions at this stage in its development. It had a successful opening season and continued with its success until 1970. The park was bought by then owner of the NFL’s Cleveland Browns, Art Modell, in 1970.

  • Tennessee Pressedienst
    TENNESSEE TOURISM State of Tennessee Pressedienst: 13. Januar 2016 Zum Saisonbeginn des Themenparks Dollywood am 19. März Schnellste Holzachterbahn vor dem Start Mit der weltweit schnellsten Holzachterbahn als Neuigkeit startet Dolly Partons Themenpark Dollywood in Tennessee am 19. März in die neue Saison. Das Spitzentempo von 117 Stundenkilometern macht „Lightning Rod“ zur schnellsten Holzachterbahn der Welt. Erstmals beschleunigt ein Katapult. Bisher fuhren auf Holzgerüsten nur von Ketten emporgezogene Züge. Design und Name des 12teiligen Zuges für insgesamt 24 Passagiere sollen an getunte, bunte Autos aus den 1950er-Jahren erinnern, erklärte der Country-Musik- und Filmstar Dolly Parton. Die Namenspatronin und Miteigentümerin des Themenparks am Rande des Ferienorts Pigeon Forge im Osten des Bundestaats Tennessee ist in der Nachbargemeinde Sevierville aufgewachsen. Das Katapult schießt den Zug mit dann schon 72 Stundenkilometern 20 Stockwerke hoch, um dann rund 50 Meter in die Tiefe zu rasen – zum ersten adrenalinbringenden „Drop“ auf der 1,16 Kilometer langen Fahrt. Zusammengerechnet verspricht der drei Minuten und 12 Sekunden dauernde Ritt rund 20 Sekunden „Airtime“ – das an Schwerelosigkeit grenzende Erlebnis. Der 22 Millionen Dollar teure Neubau ist die größte Einzelinvestition in der Geschichte des Themenparks. Dollywoods Erfolgsrezept heißt: Innovation. 2012 ging mit Wild Eagle die erste Wing-Achterbahn in den USA an den Start: ein 20 Millionen-Dollar-Ride, bei dem die Sitze unter den Flügeln stilisierter Adler hängen. Der angrenzende Wasserpark Splash Country legte 2013 nach mit RiverRush, Tennessees erster und einziger Wasserachterbahn. 2014 machte der Fire Chaser Express als erste „Familienachterbahn“ mit Rückwärtsgang Schlagzeilen. Thunderhead zählt seit Jahren zu den fünf besten Holzachterbahnen der Welt, und weitere Bahnen wie Mystery Mine, ___________________________________________________________________________________ Tennessee Tourism State of Tennessee Department of Tourist Development Horstheider Weg 106a 33613 Bielefeld Deutschland Tel.
