  • (Part Two) In today's video it's my full day inside of Dollywood for opening day of the 2024 season! I enjoy riding some of my favorite coasters in the park such as Lighting Rod, Wild Eagle, Mystery Mine and my first ride on Big Bear Mountain the newest coaster at Dollywood. I also treated myself to all of the delicious food items that you absolutely cannot miss like the famous hot fresh cinnamon bread from the grist mill. Oh and I got the chance to see Dolly Parton and hear her sing! Thank you so much for watching, if you enjoyed this video please give it a big thumbs up! A Big thank you to the team at Dollywood for having me out.

    Dev I don’t see Dollywood working in other states. What makes that park special and gives it that charm is the location it’s in surrounded by the Smoky mountains. Also the fact that it’s near where Dolly grew up is what makes it extra special. It just wouldn’t have that same feel anywhere else.

    We went to Dollywood in June and LOVED it! We are Disney ppl but said multiple times during our day there, “Disney could learn a few things here.” It was such a clean, friendly, welcoming park. We also liked how, very much like Disney goers, people wear themed, specially designed shirts, and many are Bible themed. That was very refreshing. We appreciate you, Dev. You are my fav vlogger. Thank you for your passion and the way you care about people. It comes through.

    Dollywood is such a pleasure, like you said everyone is so kind! The atmosphere is just very classic and welcoming, the music that surrounds you is so nice especially when there’s live music playing - the bluegrass, folk, Americana nostalgic vibes are just such a joy! To have a theme park nestled in the middle of beautiful mountains, and Hills is just such a unique experience ♥️👏🌄🎢🎟️

    I remember how once upon a time you praised Disney for all its new park openings,dining and rides…Orlando is the theme park capital, and Dollywood would work down there because the weather would keep it open longer throughout the year..beautiful American themed park, it’s so nice to have these family get togethers..

    Fun fact: The walkway coming from the grist mill over to the train isn't exactly new. It used to be a cave like area you could walk through that several years ago was also a little store with mining type gems. It was actually the original entrance when the park was Silver Dollar City. 😊

    I feel like a huge reason you feel that magic at Dollywood that you no longer feel at Disney is because it’s not somewhere you go every week. If you go to Disney all the time and do it for work of course the magic will be lost.

    • @louisianimal24
      @louisianimal24 6 місяців тому +1

      No, Disney just lost its magic. They don’t care about the people in their parks anymore, it’s all about what’s in their pockets nowadays. He’s always in Universal and still feels their magic 🤷‍♂️

    You look SO happy! I think Dollywood agrees with you! My daughter and I went to Dollywood for the first time last year, and we absolutely LOVED it. Many times we said that Dollywood is how Disney used to be. It's not a hectic rush to get a FastPass, or stand in lines all day, with way-too-happy music playing everywhere. Like you said, there are parts of Dollywood that are very quiet, very relaxing, the prices are excellent, the quality of the food is amazing, the musical shows are fantastic. I don't plan to go to Disney again anytime soon, and my daughter and I are going again in May and can't wait.

It is such a fun park. We love Big Bear and Fire Chaser. We are also Disney fans. Glad you had a great time visiting the Smokies of East Tennessee and Dollywood.

I can't do the ones at my local amusement park, but I wanted to try Thunderhead just to say I did it once, and it wasn't nearly as bad. And as for the walkway you questioned if it was new, I can say that it was open in October of last year, because that's where we sat to eat our amazing cinnamon bread! :-)

    A couple things I found funny that reminded me of our last trip there. Dolly was there the day we were there the last time we went too. And when you were saying it was supposed to rain, it was the weirdest thing the last time we were there. It rained the entire day nonstop but only a slow drip here and there. Like, we didn’t need ponchos or an umbrella. There would just be wet drops on our shirt and just enough to be annoying lol.
    Then I laughed when you said why doesn’t Bob Iger ride in the parade now and then. Probably because people would pelt him with tomatoes. 🍅 😂
