Dolly Parton shares why she doesn't ride the rides at Dollywood

[@clynnadams32]

I work at Dollywood at its my favorite job I've ever had. I don't even call it a job because I love it so much. Awesome place.

[@cimsco5246]

clynnadams32 really? I am going their in a couple weeks.

[@clynnadams32]

I love Dolly. She’s not afraid to laugh at herself. She also loves everybody no matter who they are. Here’s to one smoky mountain girl I would love to meet someday!

[@jayzplayz6659]

My family and I just saw Dolly yesterday for the first time at Dollywood.....she is AMAZING!!! We live nearby and our hearts were broken over the Gatlinburg fires, but Dolly donated so much money, time, and energy into helping those families rebuild their lives. She’s truly a fine human being! God bless you Dolly!

Dolly’s life has been the best ride of life. Thanks for sharing it with us Dolly

[@zacg_]

Dollywood is one of the best parks in the country. Their coaster collection is relatively small but solid (especially Lightning Rod.) The shows are phenomenal and the food is very good for a theme park. Plus, you gotta love Miss Lillian.

[@shahram72]

I agree. I was there on Wednesday. Lightning Rod was NUTS! And it's such a beautiful and unique park overall. And yeah, Granny's buffet is the real deal!

[@renegangfan5630]

Zac G I really can't agree with you. The whole time I was there the rides broke down like every hour. We went for multiple days and Lightning rod was only open once. I didn't even get to ride them.

[@starlingale]

Roller Coaster Fan agreed. We went this summer and lightning rod wasnt open for the whole week we were in TN. I find Cedar Point, Kings Dominion and Carowinds to be much better. Im more oriented towards the rides and these parks do that for me. And even if one of the big coasters are closed theres dozens more to amuse you. Plus the lines arent long, ive walked right on and rode coasters three times in a row at these parks while dollywood was a two hour wait for shit. Only so many times you can ride a rollercoaster and only so much you can wait for a dissapointment

[@renegangfan5630]

Saudade 19 yes finally someone who agrees. When did you go? We went at the beginning of July. It was open one day we were there, but the rest it was closed.

[@starlingale]

Roller Coaster Fan we went early july. We went once and the coaster was closed. Waited the rest of our week there for it to open but it stayed closed the whole time. Dissapointing

Dolly is truly one of the finest. She lives the motto of giving back to her community. And Dollywood truly is one of the best amusement parks. Great shows, exciting rides, affordable, and clean!

[@jacoblinder461]

I’m so happy to hear that they are making a sequel to 9 to 5. I can remember when I was little watching it with my grandmother, I’ve been a dolly fanatic all my life, and that will never change. I am just so excited to hear about this I love Dolly and all of her movies!!!! Yay!

[@sandyjuntunen4088]

We loved the park. What really impressed me was how clean it was. Six Flags was so nasty, I expected it there but it was spotless. And no blaring metal or rap noise. We had s great time.

[@aMondayMorning]

I wouldn't call Six Flags parks "nasty", but I guess when you compare them to Dollywood, that's one of the words that come up.

Living 10 minutes from Dollywood makes me the biggest Dolly Parton fan. The things she does to help the locals out are nothing short of amazing. Dollywood is a family park and the sweetest thing. Its like stepping back in history. So laid back.

[@luvjesuslee2033]

I absolutely LOVE DOLLYWOOD. IT IS A GREAT WAY to spend family time..It takes about 2 days atleast to enjoy the park..The food is really good. And remember you money will be well spent..Dolly employees many people, but she also always GIVES BACK. ❤ Dolly is a fantastic roll model and Christian Southern Lady.

[@iisundrxxm5978]

Barbie Parr omg so lucky when I grow up ima live in smoky mountains!

[@iggybarrato9009]

Thanks for sharing. Dolly is such an accomplished person, not just a great singer but also great businessman and philanthropist.

[@juliaduncan1207]

I'm still pretty young and Dolly Parton is my favorite person ever. I just got back from being at dollywood a few weeks ago and it was amazing. All the employees are very nice. And we just happened to be there the day Dolly Parton was visiting! Best experienced of my life. I highly recommend DollyWood. Great place for the family. Our cabin was surprisingly close to the house she grew up in also. It was fenced off, but it was awesome to be so close to it. The place gave off a good vibe 💖💌👍👏👨‍👨‍👦‍👦

[@Marchant2]

I love Dolly Parton. She has all the southern charm without any of the conservative hatefulness. She loves everybody and doesn't judge.

[@StamfordBridge]

Marchant2 When I was at the park, I watched all the shows and kept thinking, “What an awesome country we’d have if all Southerners emphasized the best in Southern culture as Dolly does.”

[@cocoon_coco]

Racist not conservative hatefulness

[@StamfordBridge]

South God Queen Is it possible to be conservative without being racist or hateful? Of course it is. However, conservatism as it now dominates in the United States is heavily undergirded by hate and bigotry, and conservative politicians survive by constantly playing to these elements. If you can’t agree with that, I’d respectfully suggest you’re letting hopefulness blind your view of the reality all around you.

[@clevelandcampbell1228]

South Gah Queen sad that anyone could even bring up racism or hateful political views on a video involving dolly. Dolly is a great lady who has given so much to so many. She is a great role model for everyone. I wish more black athletes and entertainers would follow her lead. She was dirt poor. She hasn’t forgot that. The county she grew up in was extremely poor. I remember what it was like. She has changed every thing there through her good works. A little less planting of hate. More planting of positivity like dolly will bring massive change to our world. God bless you dolly.

[@StamfordBridge]

Cleveland Campbell Right, so you could contemplate and confront the discrimination that black athletes have been protesting lately, or you could take the incredibly lazy route of blaming the black athletes for voicing this reality. And this choice of pseudo-positivity (actually just further discrimination) is something Dolly would never, ever, ever do, as she has far too much moral imagination for that. And that is what makes her so universally beloved. Something for you to contemplate.

[@DisneyMarkUK]

Oh I just adore Dolly and we’re visiting Dollywood from the UK next week, sooooo excited x

[@beths4934]

I am so grateful Dolly mentioned the Smokey Mountain fire folks are doing well in their recovery. That news brought me a lot of relief. God bless her and all the Help she provides them with year after year.

[@robbiesmith1381]

I had the opportunity to see Dolly and Kenny in concert several years ago. She is so good with her audience, just as kind and down to earth as they come. She talked to the audience like she knew us all her entire life, and it was a wonderful show. She's a great entertainer on stage.

Dolly was is by far the sweetest and most sincere person in the industry! A very spiritual and God loving soul, she inspires so many and is loved by so many! She knows no hate and her love extends beyond color, or sexuality-and she will be the first to admitting so! I always use a lot of her Old Southern Idioms when I post something or talk to Pts or others because she just had a way of staying with you. GOD BLESS YOU DOLLY, you are a TRUE COUNTRY MUSIC AND MOVIE LEGEND and I hope there can be a Joyful Noise Sequel with you and Queen Latifa or some other wonderful musical/movie such as that because the 2 of you were great together - make sure to include Keke Palmer and Jeremy Jordan too!

Many years ago Dolly was performing with Porter Waggoner at the Lucas County Fair near Toledo Oh. My sister who is now 63 was a girl and in line for the Ferris wheel. When the ride operator saw she was alone they asked for another lone rider. She ended up riding the Ferris Wheel with Dolly herself. So at one point Dolly rose rides.
