Review of The Dollywood Company

First time ever to the great smokey mountains and is loving it we have heard so much good things about Dollywood , but was aware they was a bit pricey to get in. We decided to give it a try, we picked a nice day to go, super hot outside and humid. It sprinkled a little but it just made it even hotter, there is some super flaws about the place and also some amazing things as in they come pick you up from the parking lot, they offer you free ice water, they place some nice music as you walk around the place, and some.. Not all but some of the staff was friendly. The negativity about Dollywood is the price to park is RIDICULOUS spent $157.00 for 2 people for admission, then when we got inside the gate the rides was closed. .Every..single..one! The rude woman at the gate giving our tickets didn't even mention about the rides being closed. We didn't let it get to us so we decided to just walk around the entire park and see all the goodies everyone has been talking about, lots of shops, our favorite had to have been the glass blowing! So amazing. After walking around for an hour and a half they finally said rides where finally open, they had the sign saying closed due to "weather conditions" that's BS but we got to go on only 3 coasters . Everything was so pricey and not exactly the "fun" we was looking for. This is a live and learn experience and will NEVER be going back. I highly NOT recommend to go there if you don't want to spend so much money on nothing. Plus it is more for elder people. I wouldn't even give this 1 star but maybe it will open someones eyes and do something . Plus I have to give it something to post it.
