Here are some highlights of recent pigeon forge weather after lots of dollywood rain in Pigeon Forge Tennessee. You can see there are ver low dollywood crowds just after dollywood closed down. Along with looking at pigeon forge crowds we also touch on the dollywood fall festival coming up at Dollywood theme park.

It is amazing to me how quickly they cleaned that mess up
Thanks for letting us know about the progress at Dollywood. That was so kind of you all to share the cinnamon bread with others
Thanks for your kindness and giving your cinnamon bread away! We knew your channel would try to show what’s going on at Dollywood! Thanks for your sharing!
Our pleasure Sue, we appreciate your support!
Great update. Amazing how quickly they bounced back. Glad you enjoyed your walk and got to cool down at Splash. What a nice date!
What an outstanding composite of reporting during these last 2 videos from Dollywood. You do an excellent overview on a level worthy of award and media recognition. Just well done--as always.
What a difference a day makes! Thanks for the update!
😊😅 3:29
The two of you are just so sweet! Your generosity to other people is such a great example to your children. God Bless all of you.
You guys are SO SWEET giving away that cinnamon bread. Love your channel!! 💜
Yes! They are definitely not selfish. 🎉
Thanks for the video! Hope you are all doing well and are safe!
Our pleasure, we are...thanks Ms T!
Love the bread gifting! We’ve been in the park during heavy rain but nothing like this. WOW.
Thank you guys for the update! Yall are my fave news team❤!!
I love Dollywood. Such a beautiful park. 😀
Glad to see them back up and running, that was a sweet thing yall did with the cinnamon bread. I can't wait to get back to Dollywood, maybe in November. Thanks for the update.
Our pleasure, glad it wasn't more serious!
I was at Dollywood back in 2008 with my Late wife and her grand kids back in 2008.....she passed away in 2014 from cancer but the hospitality and great experience I had a Pigeon Forge was a memory I will always treasure for that week....such a great place Dollywood is...I am so glad that there wasnt to much damage
Love the videos. My favorite. Prayers for safety and this beautiful area
Looks like you two had a wonderful time. Children are a blessing, but time alone is priceless!
Glad to see things are getting back to normal at Dollywood such a beautiful park.
Thanks for updating. Looks like they have been working hard to clean up the area.
Thank you for the update. I always wanted to stop at Dollywood when my late husband and I was OTR trucking. But we never did. Even thougn we were by many times. Dollywood is a beautiful place. I would never be able to walk it now like you both did. As I have difficulty. You have a pleasant voice to listen to. Nice meeting your wife. Enjoy every precious moment with your wife and family. Thank you. Blessings to you.
Thanks for the update!
In East Tennessee, you’ve got to expect flooding, rock slides and mud slides. But wow this flood took the cake ! Thanks for the update. Much appreciated 😊
It’s amazing how fast the water can rise and then recede. Thankful the damage wasn’t worse. Great work getting us an update. - Jim n Denise
Great update. What a day makes in cleanup. Nice to see Brie with you. God bless.
Thanks Duane & Pete!
I really miss living near there ! My favorite park. Everyone who works there is so nice.
Thanks Ryan for this part two update video. I sure hope there is no damage to the inside of Blazing Fury. That ride may be old but I love it. I hope that ride stays there forever. I see what yall did there at the end. De"Bree"! LOL!
Our pleasure TCD!
i was also at soaky mountain yesterday... was such a beautiful day for it!
I appreciate the update. I would love to see you guys do a video showing all of the photo locations that are included in the photo pass and how to get your photos if you buy the multi day photo pass. It's nice to see Brie back in the videos. I hope there isn't anymore flooding like this ever again. I hope blazing furry is open again soon. Its one of the rides we are looking forward to in November.
Love all your videos I live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and I’ve been watching y’all for a while off and on. Thank you so much for sharing. Great job.
Thanks for watching and your support Diana! We are excited to head to Hilton head next month!
There is a 90 foot altitude change from Showstreet to the construction area between Wild Eagle and Mystery Mine. That slope and all of the hard surface makes for some rapidly moving water!
Dollywood is great, so sorry about the water damage!
👍
Dolly weird thanks you. He will soon be departing.
My friend took her family to Dollywood last year. They were given the option of Dollywood or Disney, not a one of them said Disney. They had an amazing time.
So sorry to see this for the area. I know Dollywood brings in PLENTY of money but, it's still disheartening to have something like this happen for the patrons of Dollywood who may have had their vacations upended by these storms and flooding. Stay safe and, as always, thank you guys for keeping us informed of things happening in the area! God bless! ~ Scott 💙🙏🏼
Great video. Thanks for the update. Can’t wait to go this Sunday again!
Hope you have a great time Sunday!
I love videos like this. My parents started in 1956 taking me to Disneyland when I was six months old. I so wish to experience DOLLYWOOD sometime in my lifetime before I die. Lol😅
Thanks for the update! I live in North Alabama and they have already started some schools here!
Wow!! Thanks for the update, Ryan and Brie. It was really good to see you out and about again, Brie. Thank you for showing us. I can't believe that flooding. I wish I would have been there. I would have taken one of those cinnamon breads off of your hands for you. I love Dollywood cinnamon bread. I also could have got a lot of rides on Mystery Mine by my favorite ride in all of Dollywood. Thanks for another great video. As always I can always count on you both, Ryan and Brie, to give me a good and informative update on what's going on there at Dollywood and the smokies. Thank you and God bless. Keep pushing the plow my friend. SOLI DEO GLORIA.
It's good to have her able to be more active and with us! Thanks for joining & we would be happy to pass on some cinnamon bread to you guys if you were there! We always appreciate your support Smoky Mountain Man!
@@smokymountainman4964 thanks!
Thank you for posting this update! We were there that day, in fact you used one of my pictures in the first video. 😊 We had just gotten off our last coaster, Lightning Bolt of all the ones 😂, had ridden them all, when the skies opened up. We're from MN so this is not something we ever really experience (well, except with snow Ha!) We had been wondering how things looked the next day. This is truly a trip we will not forget.
Glad y'all have some memories to take home to MN and glad everyone was safe. And thank you for the picture!
Thanks for the update. I see there is more rain and storms on the way . Love watching your videos
Thanks for the update 👍🏻😃 It's is amazing how much gotten done in such a short period 🥰 God bless
Been watching you for a few months. Great videos with a ton of info. This Dollywood segment from the flood was very informative. Coming down Aug 18th for the week from NJ. Came last year but my wife & were recovering from MVA surgeries so hitting up Dollywood this time. Keep the videos coming. Thanks, Jerry
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
Brie is looking beautiful as always!!! Hope she feels better!!!
Thank you for this update. I'm due to drive up Sunday for a five night stay in the area, and I'm a gold season passholder.
Loved the video great job guys.
Thanks for the update
Impressive how quickly they are getting repairs done.
Her purple Dollywood shirt is cute!! I need one of those ❤
I'm taking it you are new to the area. I worked at Dollywood 2016 and 17. We had a couple of these flash flood incidents. That store always got flooded. The pond at the mill always ran over. But the funny thing is, I would be working in a store full of guests, and someone always walked up to me and asked, "What times is it supposed to stop raining." 😆
Some people just doesn't understand East Tennessee weather.
What does East Tennessee weather mean? Does it flood like this in fall and winter too...@@jimmyfann2174
I got stuck in miss grannies once during a huge storm! So lucky we were close to grannies and ran to there! And luckily we were hungry. Only bummer is we were freezing and the paper towels from the bathroom weren’t the warmest 😂😂 but we did get our money worth for being in there for hours 😂😂 they didn’t kick us out or anything 🥰🥰
I didn't know about the park being flooded till this video came up on recommended. Some of the flooding didn't look too bad and others wow! In a days time a good bit of the water receeded. Glad the park was able to reopen.
Hope to meet Parker there soon! Awesome musician
I appreciate you doing the side by side, of the two days wow what a difference. We live in Seymour, not sure I would brave going there the day after that rain. We got married there 40 yrs ago, glad the church is elevated and was protected
Poor Dolly. She has really had some hard hits this year. Thankfully she has the insurance to cover the Park, but the illness of her husband is the hardest thing for her now. Prayers for him and her both. Blessed Be....
👍
Used to go to Dollywood quite often as we live about an hour away, but we haven't been since 2017. Hoping to get season passes this year or next.
That cinnamon bread is incredible. If you know you know. And I also have to give a shoutout to the frozen lemonade. Best drink at Dollywood (if they still have it).
I hope that they’ll get the rides running in the next couple weeks
Thanks for sharing ❤️!
Love your channel.. Hope to meet you some day. You have such a great family. . I have been going to Dollywood since it was Gold Rush Junction. Definitely a part of my heart.❤Also loved your Polynesian trip.
Absolutely my 2nd favorite theme park I have ever Ben too. Outstanding Walk
👍
What’s the first ?
Thanks for asking. Hands down my absolute favorite is Bush Gardens Tampa
@@drewcorry5056 We grew up going to that park!
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏽❤️👼🏾🇺🇸
Thank you for your video. I have a trip in 2 weeks and I am nervous. Hopefully, it’s all open up by then 🤞
Good job on doll wood 👍
Thats so awesome to see how different it looks and the amazing work they did to clean alot of the areas thank you for the video I bet that cinnamon bread is delicious hope someday they get more gluten free food there looks like you both an amazing day at Dollywood
I hope Dolly has really good flood insurance!
👍
Dolly is doing just fine…. I promise
Random thought...what happens if you had a rental car and this happened? I saw the parking lot pics 😮
I’d bet Dolly owns the insurance company, at least a big chunk of it. lol
@@bcl5667I think it’s all on your insurance company to pay for the damage done to the car. Since every time my family rented a car, the car rental place, always ask about what company we use for car insurance.
Which stinks when the damage was completely out of your control. But the insurance company did get on my dad’s case for having too many claims, even though all of the damages were done by the weather, like hail damage. This was done on his own car, not a rental one.
The crowd levels are reminiscent of MK right before a hurricane! That is always a pleasant surprise!😅
A lot of Georgia schools started today Aug 1st. I am not sure when other states start school. I am currently in Florida and the crowds really died down last Sunday. Thank you for the update. I can’t wait to be back in Pigeon Forge in a couple of weeks.
Fall Festivals?!?! The Rodgers And Rogers Family Of Memphis Really Missed Visiting Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge This Year For The First Time In 28 Years 😢😢😢😢😢😢We Normally Bring A Senior Couple With Us Annually However I’ve Been Out Of Work For A Lower Back Spinal Injury So I Haven’t Been Able To Work.
We Will Share Your Experiences As Always
👍
Wow that crazy!
What microphones are you all using? They are crystal clear.. I live in Hawkins County, so I'm a native to the area 👍💯
We will be visiting in August, after the summer drone show, but before the harvest festival begins. Maybe we will see you there!
I can' wait. My Aunt and I have tickets for October.
I'm SO glad there wasn't too much damage that Dolly Parton will have to pay for (through her insurance company)! Wish I was younger so my wife and I could come out there!
I seen the video of the flooding and now this one, great job and I will be watching more. Just curious at what camera you are doing your vlogging with? have a great day!
Sorry it took me a while to put this together, but I hope it helps answer your question:
ua-cam.com/video/8xn_AnL776E/v-deo.html
Got you de Brie 👍😀
You took one loaf home to share with the family? My wife and I were there Wednesday night and Thursday. By the time we got to the beach Friday evening, we were starting our fourth loaf. (Well, I admit I ate about 90% of them.)
I think there was confusion about yesterday at the park. I saw your previous video Monday morning around 630 am and when I checked the Dollywood website there was a banner implying there were closed yesterday. When I went back later it wasn't there
Ohhhh I had no idea there was a flash flood! I was there yesterday and was wondering if there was a yearly maintenance going on at Blazing Fury or something. Now I know why there's a hose coming out of it! I'm going into Dollywood again today and tomorrow and I'm hoping they manage to get it up and running again if not today maybe tomorrow as I'd really love to ride it before I go back home on Thursday
Hopefully everything is back up and running and you have a wonderful time tomorrow at Dollywood!
@@AdventureIsOutThere Thanks!
Yippee it’s open! In line for Blazing Fury now
@@Emisop thanks for the update. Have a great time!
Woah, that’s magical, I’ve only had gold passes.
👍
Thnx for such a Great video!! It may be summer break, Buuut not everyone can afford to be there 😔 I WOULD LV TO VISIT THERE! HAVENT BEEN THERE SINCE IT WAS CALLED SLIVER DOLLAR CITY! BACK IN THE 80'S BUT LV UR VIDEOS!!
Maybe they need to re evaluate their drainage ditches etc, look at getting a better culvet as the weather is only getting worse every year and Dollywood could get really flooded even worse than recently as its now the 2nd flood in recent months.
👍
This defines the new American spirit! Sure, there's damaging flooding, but let's focus on what matters: which rides are still working.
Do ya have an update on the little baby ducks? I was there that Saturday before the flood and there were babies .
We didn't see any baby ducks. I'm sure momma got them to high ground and waited for things to calm down.
What parking lot would you recommend using so if it happens again with the flooding my car does not get waterlogged
12:16 -- 😅 video-bomber in the back!! 😜
There had to have been a blockage in their drainage systems somewhere in the park for it to be that bad.
Wait how were u able to get 5 cinnamon breads!?
It was a special they ran when you bought a Diamond Pass you get 1 cinnamon bread each month (we have 5 people in our family). If you don't get the ones for that month, you lose them.
I’m from mi my family and I are going to TN in a few days
when would you say Dollywood has low crowds?
Best time is in the spring & fall during the weekdays when most kids are in school for low crowds.
Wow! My sister and her husband were there Friday on their honeymoon!.....well, technically they were, but when her husband found out it was kinda like Silver Dollar City (which they are going to be loving decently close to and have season passes) he decided they would do other stuff in the area since the price was $90 each. But boy! They barely made it in there!
I’m going to Dollywood in 7 days and im scared its ruining my four day trip so if anyone goes to tennessee or pigeon forge I go in fall and its BEUTIFAL I recommend going at fall the sunset is amazing
Off topic but - what camera do you use? Your videos are great!
Thanks! Sorry it took me a while to put this together, but I hope it helps answer your question:
ua-cam.com/video/8xn_AnL776E/v-deo.html
Somebody save the cinnamon bread!
🍞👍
Wow dolly wood sent me some
All that murky water even at the old mill mud water is all sand that cloudy color of water is sand so where did all of it get washed from
Do you happen to know do they still have the flooded mine I really enjoyed it the two times I was there back in the 80,s
I was there the day it happened
Omfg! The court summons that comes in the mail is for the flooding at Dollywood! Pods
🤷♂️
Suppose to met rain again today with another flash flood warning today.
Hi Ryan, how deep was the flooding when the cars were submerged? Does it get flash flooding often in TN?
We get it occasionally, just never this much at Dollywood. Here is a look at the cars in the parking lot: ua-cam.com/video/j_IVD6REdUU/v-deo.html
@AdventureIsOutThere thank you! Yes I saw this video when u first uploaded.. we also uploaded some on our channel!
Pigeon forge and gatlinburg get flash floods plus or minus five times a year to varying degrees. Usually the weather channels are good at telling you when it will happen there. If they say it will, believe them and get to high ground or be ready to hunker down where you are for a few days if need be. Ask locals if where you are normally floods, but if you are next to a creek it's a possibility.
What brand of treadmill? Price?
Do the rates at Dollywood become cheaper say late August, September?
No, rates remain the same throughout the season. They will sometimes run specials as they are right now for teachers/first responders/etc: Dollywood.com/PublicEmployee
@@AdventureIsOutThere rates for disabled, deaf, blind, etc?
considering we just had quite a few more flash flood warnings, did anything else happen since yesterday?
