Dollywood, Pigeon Forge, TN

Walkway at Dollywood

The sun is coming out and we’re headed to Dollywood in Pigeon Forge. The town has all the features of a tourist trap – lots of hotels, restaurants, and tourist shops. Dollywood is a combination of an amusement park with many rides, especially roller coasters, and shops. We’re headed there mainly for the music. We listened to music almost the entire day, except for a train ride up the mountain and one roller coaster, the lightning rod. Dreamland Drive-in told a story with a large cast and music from the 50s and 60s. The Hall sisters did harmony with tunes from the 40’s to 60’s. 


 

 The Kingdom Heirs sang gospel tunes, their bass singer was fantastic. Then there was lots of country music: the Smokey Mountain String Band, the Wild Roots Band, Forever Country, and A Brighter Day. Our only disappointment was at lunch: an expensive burger and fries with a coke that didn’t taste like a coke for $18 each. If you’re into music or roller coasters, this is the place for you.
