We used to go to Dollywood a lot! Last time I was there was ten years ago (2014). Boy has that place changed!!! So many coasters now. Looks like ya’ll had a great time. I didn’t realize you don’t like roller coasters, Carl. I love roller coasters

[@SantosChronicles]

It is huge. I think they just kept adding on. I like roller coasters but my body does not. But I keep trying. Dollywood is very underrated in my opinion.

[@adventuresintvland]

@@SantosChronicles We were fans of Dollywood before it exploded, lol. I haven’t been there in a decade, but I agree

[@MRGAUNTLET8891]

Santos Chronicles wonderfully exquisitely superb spectacularly splendorously sensational

[@SantosChronicles]

Thank you for watching.

[@wildzenventures]

Looks like a great family trip! Those coasters looked like a blast 😜

[@SantosChronicles]

I didn't realize that Dollywood would have that many coasters. One of our favorite trips so far.

[@wildzenventures]

@@SantosChronicles I can't talk my hubby into coasters. 🤒

[@Terry.W]

Wow the place looks fantastic ...love that steam train..

[@SantosChronicles]

The train was really cool - we were so sad that we didn't get a chance to ride it. Can't believe we missed it two times in a row.

[@NickandRachel]

We went there when I was a kid I was probably like 11 or 12 I think they had just put in the Tennessee tornado roller coaster! 🎢 A lot has changed since then lol

[@SantosChronicles]

Hope you guys had a great road trip. You guys beat us in milage in one trip. This place was much bigger than I was expecting for sure.

[@NickandRachel]

@@SantosChronicles now you see why people keep going back! So much to do you can't see it all in one trip. Now add 900 plus miles of trails that's why we're always there lol We had a great time! That drive back was crazy we did it in 3 days!

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Looks like a great day 😎 it’s been ages since I’ve been 🤪

[@SantosChronicles]

This is such a fun area. If they had tractors you would be there!

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

Haven't been to Dollywood but it looks like a great park! Would like to visit some time 👍

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

LoL So true about the group logistics! Have had to split up many times because of young riders. Fortunately some parks offer rider swap :)

[@SantosChronicles]

You are a theme park king so I'm surprised. You guys would love it.

[@SantosChronicles]

Yea, rider swap is great - we used it a lot in Universal. However, the kids didn't want to wait if they can't ride. And some could ride but were scared to ride. It all worked out.

[@SwiftyTravels]

Wow! Dollywood has really grown since I visited as a child in the 80’s! 😂😂 looks like a great park!

[@SantosChronicles]

This was our first time so we have nothing to compare it to. A highlight on our trip for sure.

[@eiffellynyap3661]

I’m so glad we went! It was so fun, but 1 day definitely isn’t long enough! If we were there longer, the 2 day ticket would have been worth it. Another great trip in the books 🙌🏽

[@SantosChronicles]

I still have a couple more videos left from this trip. Didn't realize how much we did until I tried editing all of it. If I knew about it being so cheap for 2 days, I would recommended that we do 2 days. Such a fun time.

[@OurNationalAdventure]

DOLLYWOOD has been on our to see list for such a long time! I cant believe its flooded out now. So glad you guys had such a wonderful time! What a fun & silly time with you all ♡ the Timesaver is def what we will be doing when we go, thanks for sharing! "Get your mind right" oh gosh 😅

[@SantosChronicles]

Yea I saw the videos of the flood there. So crazy. This was our first time. We’ll Definitely he back for sure. My sister and I get a little wacky when we are together.

[@groundbreakerexplore]

Wow, the place is absolutely amazing. I like the rides

[@SantosChronicles]

We were blown away with the rides. Glad we chose to go here while at Pigeon Forge.

[@DJRhinoShow]

Wonderful place to visit. Great rides.

[@SantosChronicles]

We didn't really know what to expect and was pleasantly surprised how fun it was.

[@TheAdventuresofMegGreg]

You are making me miss Dollywood so much!! We immediately fell in love on our visit last fall. Poor lightning rod was still having lots of issues last fall when we were there. You packed in a lot of rides! We loved having the time saver too. Definitely easy to get lightheaded though lol! I wish we saw a show while we were there! And sadly the train was closed for us. Great tip to get to the train early. I like pickles too lol! Awesome tips and video!! 😊💕

[@SantosChronicles]

I still have to watch your Dollywood video. I know it did really well for you guys, I purposefully avoided so I wouldn't be greatly influenced with how I did the video. Now I have to go back. No way we would have been able to ride all those rides in one day without the time saver pass. I should have done the premium one to save time on that Big Bear Mountain. Thanks for watching.

[@RandWFarmstead-TonyWalsh]

Looked like fun, I’ve been to Pigeon Forge but not to Dollywood. Thanks for sharing Carl and hope y’all have a blessed weekend my friend.

[@SantosChronicles]

Pigeon Forge is such a great area and it was our first time. Dollywood was a blast for sure.

[@AlphaTraveler1]

That is so cool. We still have not made it to Dollywood. Very cool video my friend. LIKE 9👍👍👍

[@SantosChronicles]

Dollywood is worth the trip for sure. This was our first time in the area and it was a blast.

[@bradandamy]

That's a really good idea to have color codes for the kids' heights. This place really reminds me of Frontier Town at Cedar Point here in Ohio. I'm really not too keen on the roller coasters these days either, Carl!😂 It really is pretty there - lots of flowers and greenery. Cooling off while watching a show is a must! And the train is my favorite ride at Cedar Point for sure. Thanks so much for sharing!

[@SantosChronicles]

It makes it easier and faster for each ride than having to measure each kid all day at each ride. Pretty genius. I like coasters but my body has been betraying me lately. We try to catch the train ride where ever we go. Usually when I want to rest my legs. Have a great weekend guys.

[@DestinationEarth]

Really enjoyed the video old man Carl! It's been so long since I've been to a theme park of any sort.

[@SantosChronicles]

Old man Carl had to start dying his hair. LOL. I love theme parks but my body is starting to betray me.

[@TheLiveOutLoudFamily]

Chris told me you talked about Dollywood. We've spent so much time in the area and never been! Now I feel like we should go after watching this! Haha I love your game plan! Haha I always go for a pickle to Melissa!

[@SantosChronicles]

One thing I was surprised about was how big it was. We had no idea they had so many coasters. If we had more time we would have seen more of the shows. Crazy how it is flooded right now.

[@DMSAdventures]

Haha did you do your intro on the Black Bear ride? RMS likes pickles so much her Uncle nicknamed her "Pickles"! I agree with Melissa, it DID look like a super pretty park! Clean and nicely laid out too. Ya gotta love fast passes! We stayed in Pigeon Forge once but never went to Dollywood! The fun adventures continue!

[@SantosChronicles]

Good catch, I did do the intro on the Black Bear ride. Melissa and RMS would get along just fine. They did a great job keeping it clean. I was surprised how big it was. Pigeon Forge area is so fun but there is so much to do it was quite overwhelming to figure out what to do.

[@JenniferandMark2014]

Great tips!! Haven’t been to Dollywood in ages. Looks like fun! 😁Jenn

[@SantosChronicles]

This was our first time and we had such a great time. Have a great week!

[@PogiboyProductions]

Ahh Dollywood, I didn't even know this existed until I saw a couple of YTers go there hehe.. pretty recent park. I have no strategy either when it comes to theme parks lol.. usually just go with the flow.. not a thrill seeker though so I'm more of a mellow rider lol.. I'm the guy hanging out with Rosalie lol.. timesaver is a good tip if you like rides.. some fun rides too.. one day I'll make it out there!

[@SantosChronicles]

Next time, I'll show how inefficient we were at going through this park - it was comical. Most folks go to east or west coast. There are a lot of fun things to do in the middle of the U.S. also. Just glad I didn't get eaten by a bear.

[@TheTolleRoad]

🤣 you just rest old man Carl 😂

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

😂🥵

[@SantosChronicles]

I needed to rest for sure. Not a young buck anymore.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

Congratulations on 4K Carl. This has always been a Dream of mine to visit Dollywood. I have always been a fan of Dolly Parton. Awesome fun place top visit. Have a great week.

[@SantosChronicles]

Thank you so much. Dollywood is great. I even found out sometimes, Dolly Parton is in the parade. She owns a lot of things in this area.

[@CowboyJojosAdventures]

@@SantosChronicles would be great to see her in the parade. I have seen her in concert and loved her performance.

[@calvinlam7272]

Be sure to check out Parrot Mountain & Gardens in Pigeon Forge and Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies in Gatlinburg next time u go! 🦜🦈

[@SantosChronicles]

So many people have mentioned Parrot Mountain & Garden that we'll have it on the top of our list next time we go. And I heard a lot of good things about the aquarium also. So many things to do there.
