Dolly Parton’s Dollywood Theme Park Slammed By Heavy Rain Causing Flooding & Trapping Guests


Dolly Parton's Dollywood went viral over the weekend after heavy rainfall hit eastern Tennessee, trapping guests in the theme park following floods.

“This afternoon, Sunday, July 28, a strong thunderstorm caused flash flooding at Dollywood,” reads the statement shared on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter. Dollywood was expected to open again to guests on Monday, July 29, at noon, adding, “Park officials will continue to assess conditions, and updates will be posted to our social media pages as additional information becomes available.” ESPN writer Ryan McGee shared a video of the “start” of the flash flood that overwhelmed the theme park, giving props to Dollywood’s Fire Department “for leading us to our cars like The Batman.”
