When Dolly Parton’s name is on the place, it’s a pretty safe bet that the entertainment found inside is going to be top-notch. Well, that certainly is the case here at Dollywood. In fact, we’ve won Amusement Today’s Golden Ticket award for Best Theme Park Shows for the past 10 years. Yes, a decade [...]
