What's New at Dollywood for the 2010 Season
"The beauty and serenity of the Smoky Mountains have long inspired my life and music. I want to share my love for this very special place, our heritage and the spirit of our people." - Dolly Parton
Billed as "A World of Smoky Mountain Adventure!", Dollywood is scheduled to reopen for the 2010 season on Saturday, March 27, 2010, with a stellar lineup of more than 40 attractions and rides, 30 live shows daily, 30 unique craft shops and much more. In addition, Dollywood will debut a new attraction called Adventure Mountain! Billed as “America’s Largest Challenge Course,” Adventure Mountain will lie along two acres of mountainside terrain and feature four different adventure courses ranging from easy to expert, more than 100 challenging rope features and numerous obstacles such as swinging beams, flying islands, suspension bridges and a tire traverse, as well as the base-level Camp Teachittoomee.
Dollywood, which started out as a dream for country music legend Dolly Parton, has evolved into Tennessee's most visited theme park, drawing more than two million visitors annually. Parton opened Dollywood in 1986 to showcase the rich heritage of the Smoky Mountain area where she was born and raised before heading to Nashville and superstardom.
