That Wildness Pass Restaurant section has been a water ride that absolutely got you soaked and felt great on a hot Tennessee summer day, then they removed that then it was just a seating section, now a restaurant. That part of the park needs a sat down restaurant.
I'm so glad we renewed our season passes for Dollywood this year. We took a break for a couple of years, but we have missed our favorite little mountain town. We already have our first trip planned for March and we are looking forward to all the new things coming this year. Thank you for the videos to keep us informed!
I found your channel a while back and really enjoy your videos. My wife and I first came to Gatlinburg in 1986 for our honeymoon. I have been back a few times on motorcycle trips but she hasn't been back since that first time. I can't wait to get her back down there to see how much Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge have changed since 1986. Your videos have given me a way to keep up with what is happeneing there and what to look for the next time I'm there. I can't tell you how much I appreciate them and all you do to put out entertaining and informative content. Thank you very much!
We would LOVE some restaurant recommendations off the beaten path. We’ve eaten at most of the popular places and are looking for something different. Thanks Ryan & Brie- we love your family & appreciate all that you do!
I start a vacation notebook. FIRST do some research google and make sure there’s NO big event. You never want to come here during rod runs, parades, church conventions & more. You can look on PF chamber of commerce. After you have your days start your research on where you wanna stay. Cabin, Hotel, Airbnb, etc… I’ll write all my info in the front pages of days. The place we are staying. Check in & check out times. Address, confirmation number. Cancellation policy, their phone number etc Then start watching UA-cam, TikToks, I start a Pinterest board and start researching places to eat, things to do, & take a note of those things (I don’t right them in my notebook yet until I know that is one place we are definitely going) When your trying to decide look up menus, times opened, etc.. Start watching UA-camrs that you like. Some give really important info. Just don’t follow those that make fun of others. They are cock roaches of UA-cam. Those that can’t come up with info or a page of their own. So they step on the backs of other UA-camrs. It’s sad really. Anyways doing your research is better because you know what your family will like and researching & knowing what you are gonna do saves so much time. We have wasted more time not knowing what we were gonna do. Once you find places to eat go then watch videos on those places!! Hope you all have loads of fun!! Cade Cove is beautiful & a nice place to pack a picnic.. They have a Publix that has loads of picnic meals!! Research that so you’ll know that you can drive through and hopefully see bears, fox, deer and more!! You can take a short walk to the historic house. Large level grass area at the mill for picnics!! Great picture opportunities!!! My favorite place is The Old Mill, The peddler (reservations made early is the best) best salad bar ever… old Mill cafe. We loved Paula Deans, Mamas Farmhouse… They have a movie theater that has new movies $5 a person. We always see a movie we like… Walking downtown Gatlinburg there’s a place that sells Smoked Sausage peppers & onions & footlong corndogs!! The smell always makes us stop… Anyways hope you have a great time!! By the way you can get info sent to you if you get one the Pigeon Forge Chamber of commerce and request a visitors guide!! Also when you first get into town stop at a convenience store/Gas station and get one of every coupon booklet. And the individual coupons you might be interested in.. many places have something off or free!!!!!
Thankful for this video! Me and my girlfriend are planning our 4 year anniversary trip here in May and we are attending a car show here in October as well. Good to know we have new things to look forward too.
Thank you for sharing with us what is new and coming soon to this area. I think we should have a race on the new racing mountain coaster with all the local UA-camrs I think it would be fun. Thank you Ryan you definitely have the information channel and we thank you all for what you do.
Awesome video as always Ryan thanks so much for sharing, also have you heard anything about what the status of the hotel next to the Stampede? My brother and I always stay there when we come to the area I know it's under renovation
First of all awesome job keeping us all fully informed of the area new places and such and how to navigate certain placas and events quick question did they totally tear the red roof aka first outlet malll in area or part of it and qas the current tenates able to stay or find another location and is there any plans too put something at that samel location thank you 😊
Loved your last zip line video, will you be trying out the new one? By the way, I'm in Tampa, FL and it's in the mid 40's and dropping. We are cold here too. brrrrrrr
All of the places look great. We will be visiting from Florida in June. So looking forward to going to all of the places in your area. We will be staying at a cabin in Sherwood Forest, 13 of us. If you are looking for something to film, can you take a ride for us to see where we have to go from the main road? I would hate to get lost in the mountains.
We had just about our worst (and most expensive) experience we’ve ever had in the smokies less than a week ago. I’m still upset. I’m sure I’ll get over it but I don’t think we’ll be back for a while.
I appreciate the video but I wish they would start telling the truth about these places that are supposed to open. It's kind of annoying to want to try a place but it keeps seeming to being put off longer and longer. Your videos are super helpful.
Love your "What's New" videos. Looking forward to more Dollywood videos.
Thanks, we have many more coming this year!
Love all the updates !!! Gonna be a very fun year!! Thank you!!
Such a great, informative and illustrious show today! 👍🏻👍🏻😂
I see what you did there! 😉
So hyped for SCOOBY DOO!!! gonna drive 15 hours to experience it brand new!!

This fellow Floridian sincerely appreciates your videos. You do all the hard work for me! Thanks so much!! Stay safe out there!!
Our pleasure Susan!

Everything looks awesome. I grew up with Scooby Doo so the mini golf will be neat to see. As will everything else.
👍
Really enjoying your videos. Thanks so much. Watching from Central Michigan 👋
Our pleasure!

It does!
Good information thanks for the updates.

We are most excited about the Nerf Experience & Scooby Doo Golf! Thanks for the updates!
You are very brave, we stayed in the house all day. Just went outside long enough to check the mail. ❄
These should be on my bucketlist! Thanks for sharing
Great updates. Longest zip line would be my number one item.
Keep the “whats’s new” videos coming. We love them. Thank you!
Racing coaster
👍
I wanna try that racing coaster.
It should be a fun addition to Pigeon Forge! 👍
Thankful for this video! Me and my girlfriend are planning our 4 year anniversary trip here in May and we are attending a car show here in October as well. Good to know we have new things to look forward too.
Can't wait for all this. We're moving to the Sevierville area in less than 2 months. Used to be in the area all the time when we lived in knoxville.
We can't wait to visit Dollywood the week after memorial day for the flower and food festival.
We are coming in middle of May. Hoping the Scooby Doo mini golf the new mountain coaster is open. Thanks for the great videos.
Our pleasure, we hope you have a wonderful time in May!
You should do a video at the Grand Smokey's resort and Lodge
Perhaps someday!
Thank you for sharing with us what is new and coming soon to this area.
I think we should have a race on the new racing mountain coaster with all the local UA-camrs I think it would be fun.
Thank you Ryan you definitely have the information channel and we thank you all for what you do.
Our pleasure!
That's cool about The Ark I saw the vafunseekers video on The Ark it was fascinating ❤😊
We hope to make it there someday!
18:23 is this where the spear was as you’re leaving headed to Gatlinburg. It was on top of a hill
Yes
I didn’t see eat lunch with Adventure is out there on the list. Redo. 😂
😁👍
Can't wait to do the zipline.
👍
Awesome video as always Ryan thanks so much for sharing, also have you heard anything about what the status of the hotel next to the Stampede? My brother and I always stay there when we come to the area I know it's under renovation
First of all awesome job keeping us all fully informed of the area new places and such and how to navigate certain placas and events quick question did they totally tear the red roof aka first outlet malll in area or part of it and qas the current tenates able to stay or find another location and is there any plans too put something at that samel location thank you 😊
What took over land of illusions in Gatlinburg
Must have been before out time?
Assuming you’re talking about World Of Illusions. It was replaced by Tennessee Stud Cider Company.
Love you guys,what week did you say spring break is in 2025 and when does the local schools get out for the summer,thanks
Loved your last zip line video, will you be trying out the new one? By the way, I'm in Tampa, FL and it's in the mid 40's and dropping. We are cold here too. brrrrrrr
I did that one so I would be ready for this one, so Lord willing yes! We have family in Tampa, stay warm & Go Bucs!
That old opry building has been vacant for so long, and then multiple delays for the crayola/nerf building? Starting to wonder what’s going on there.
All of the places look great. We will be visiting from Florida in June. So looking forward to going to all of the places in your area. We will be staying at a cabin in Sherwood Forest, 13 of us. If you are looking for something to film, can you take a ride for us to see where we have to go from the main road? I would hate to get lost in the mountains.
Snow coming soon
It is! ❄️
A racing coaster... I'd love to try it, but man, I just know I'm gonna lose to my kids every time!
Will miss Crawdaddys.
Take a walk on the “Wildside”!😊
👍
Bring back the Opry!!!! (Just since I worked there from open til (almost) closed doesn’t make me biased right??
👍
Why can't they make tiny space heaters that we can carry around 🤔 !!?! They made small fans right ⚘️🫠⚘️🎅⚘️🎋⚘️!!!!!!!
👍
They have those
That’s a good idea
7 years, whether you like it or not, you’re a Tennessean now. 😊
No shame including Gorilla Tacos in your top 10 coming attractions. IT'S TACOS!!!
My family wasn't a fan of Soaky mountain waterpark 😢 lines were so long it didn't make it worth the price
Why do all of the new restaurants in the Smokies seeming to be all tacos? A Mediterranean place or something different would be great.
We had just about our worst (and most expensive) experience we’ve ever had in the smokies less than a week ago. I’m still upset. I’m sure I’ll get over it but I don’t think we’ll be back for a while.
Where was it expensive?
Why was that
I appreciate the video but I wish they would start telling the truth about these places that are supposed to open. It's kind of annoying to want to try a place but it keeps seeming to being put off longer and longer. Your videos are super helpful.
Here is what is NOT NEW - Sitting in traffic for 3-4 hours per day.
Been many years & it only gets that bad when certain things are going on… I live about 90 minutes away….
Boring 💤
