Despite Dollywood being named after Dolly Parton, she is afraid of roller coasters and isn’t fond of most rides.

Dollywood actually has a calming room that has seen successful results from people suffering from sensory overload. Especially for its guests with special needs.

Employees that have been working for Dollywood for thirty years get their own custom signage.

The two old school locomotive trains at Dollywood actually served in World War II.

Dolly Parton owns part of Dollywood through her entertainment company. The rest is owned by Herschend Family Entertainment. Dollywood is the most visited tourist attraction in Tennessee that issues ticketed admission at about three million visitors annually.
