Our FIRST TIME at Dollywood! | Cinnamon Bread, Wild Eagle, Tennessee Tornado, Lightning Rod

[@marybethstravels]

Hi! My husband works ride maintenance at Dollywood and I work for the American Eagle Foundation that cares for the birds at Wings of Americ and Eagle Mountain Sanctuary! If you all come back to TN, we would love to have you tour our brand new facility located about 30 minutes away from Dollywood where we care for over 40 more birds of prey plus a museum and educational classrooms😊 Also, so sad I missed you guys but I was traveling with birds doing programs!

[@kates7277]

How did it take Molly this long to visit a park with giant loaves of cinnamon bread, a bear-themed roller coaster, and year-round potato tornados?! 🍞🐻

[@katcalico9142]

And it is owned by/dedicated to cheerful, bubbly, outgoing blond lady…who does that remind us of? 😂

[@aprilmckenzie7209]

I love when the MAM is all together. The chaos twins are the best haha and I love seeing Alan’s reaction to their shenanigans.

[@MicheleKlinger]

I’m so excited to watch this one! Trio adventures always make for some of the best fun, but the fact this is a new adventure for Molly and Alan, and Max gets to explore the park with friends and go on a nostalgia trip makes this feel more special.

[@tjhatrel7803]

I’m surprised max didn’t comment on how certain ride effects had changed (and not all for the better imo I miss feeling like a marshmallow while on that one hill in mystery mine “best way to dry off” after getting stuck on river rampage loop a few times there is in the park

[@MicheleKlinger]

@@tjhatrel7803 after not visiting somewhere in so long, you barely remember what’s old and what’s new. I know that happens with me with WDW sometimes and I go at least once a year lol

[@tjhatrel7803]

@@MicheleKlinger yea good point forgot he’d said it’s been a minute since his last visit

[@lindasaffles4189]

Dolly is genuine. She has a very big heart and never forgot her roots.

[@janetborkowski9403]

I love how Molly and Max suddenly become more Southern while at Dollywood.

[@JustinSimpson]

I’ve never been to Dollywood, this is the perfect introduction to it.

[@tjhatrel7803]

Dollywood is absolutely fan freaking tastic my family used to go there yearly right around the time mystery mine opened up so we saw the original iteration of that ride and a few others (the fire effect on mystery mine used to be MASSIVE And u used to get sprinkled on a few times u went under an arch of water on blazing fury which has now replaced that effect with those STUPID fake string lights)

[@bridgetclement2968]

I've never been either!!!! Dollywood, Hershey Park and Cedar Point are my Dream vacation spots!!! In the East part of USA. Out west, I'm dying to visit Knott's berry farm

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Its one of the best parks in the country the coaster lineup is amazing the operations are efficient the food is amazing obviously and the theming is immersive

[@julianasuplee6900]

Agreed! So much character and love at the park 😍

[@TheLite0003]

Went with my wife and 10 and 6 year old daughters last year. Amazing experience. Those family coasters were perfect for my 6 year old and Thunderhead, Lightning Rod were intense enough for my thrill seeking 11 year old. Dollys nearby water park is outstanding too!!

[@emilypeoples6386]

The chicken dance and Max secretly being Elvis🤣

[@julianasuplee6900]

Ms. Lillian seems lovely! Didn’t get to meet her when I visited last summer but glad y’all did!!!

[@emilywills6751]

I swear, I would watch you three paint a fence. You’re so entertaining.

[@dansuneautrevie2713]

So happy you visited! Dolly is an American icon. The money she donates is insane. We have so much to thank her for and so many don’t know. When the area was ravaged by fires, she supported so many in the rebuilding. She is truly the best. ❤

[@mtnlaurel12]

Didn't she give every resident or worker in Sevier County a $1000 a week for several weeks? She was just amazing after those fires.

[@katiegesell2304]

Happy Mother's Day to me! Thanks Mammoth Club!

The Southern accents came OUT. I'm so glad you all went to Dollywood. Such a good time!

[@julianasuplee6900]

I know I’ve commented so much but that’s because I’m super passionate about Dollywood and very excited about this video!

[@KinnardRoyale]

The stinger at the end 48:19 with Molly carrying all the cinnamon bread was the vibe!!!!😂😂😂

[@hydrauliclaunch]

Hear me out… Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. It’s a true sister park to Dollywood but still unique in so many ways. (It also has cinnamon bread!!!!)

[@zackduncan1552]

Dollywood was Silver Dollar City before it was Dollywood

[@hydrauliclaunch]

@@zackduncan1552 Yup!

[@rochelleallgyer122]

It’s time for y’all to come North and experience Hershey Park!!

Somehow my heart gets happier whenever Max features!!!

IKR! He adds a whole new "element" to the delightfulness that is Mammouth Club.

[@designdoctor247]

YES what a GREAT sport he was with the chicken dance Elvis. He is AWESOME!

[@slanciante]

I love when we get the full MAM

[@sapphoculloden5215]

Me too! It's best when they're all together.

[@britneybxoxo]

My heart can finally rest knowing the MAM loves my home theme park!

[@julianasuplee6900]

Woot woot! If I didn’t live so far away, I would definitely buy a season pass!

[@abbysillaman1244]

"500 Dollys for cinnamon bread and we can end the video here" 😁 😂

[@tylersGBO]

Can we talk about the smoothness of the lemonade exchanges. Idk why that was so satisfying

[@claveauannie]

Yep, it was mesmerizing!

[@katiehennigan3024]

Love that you guys are branching out to different parks! Come to Carowinds in NC next!

[@nicollevandyke5950]

Carowinds White Lightning was my first roller coaster and I’ve been hooked ever since! I love that park.

[@brendaevans9981]

If you stay at one of the Dollywood Resorts, a complimentary basic TimeSaver pass is included with your stay. My daughter, husband and I stayed a couple days at the DreamMore Resort in March. A beautiful resort and the included TimeSaver pass for each of us was a nice perk.

[@dot854jc]

That value can almost be the price of the room. You also get discounts on room rates if you are a season pass holder.

[@brendaevans9981]

@@dot854jc yes, the Dollywood resorts had a special when we stayed. Stay 4 nights, pay for 3 and get the 4th night free. They seem to offer a lot of different resort specials.

[@julianasuplee6900]

Time saver passes also a perk if you stay at one of the park’s cabins.

[@jasonsadventures64]

Or have a Gold Season pass and you have 1 hour of Timesaver including Big Bear first hour.

[@hillsizz]

This is the perfect video for Mother's Day since Dolly is the best mother to us all. This park looks so fun I definitely want to visit!

[@katyb4527]

Grinning ear to ear listening to Max's love for Blazing Fury. I grew up in WNC so I've been to Dollywood probably 30 times and Blazing Fury has always been one of my favorites. To date, my personal best is riding it 8 times in one visit. I'd say it's Dollywood's equivalent of the ET ride. It's bizarre and hokey and charming and I hope they never get rid of it. Fire in the hole!

[@tjhatrel7803]

8 times?? Now that’s impressive have a similar feat myself I’m physicially handicapped so I get the option to ride again immediately without disembarking if the lines not two terribly long but only one additional time however each time our raft came round to the load/unload area the attendants kept missing our raft so we were “stuck” in the loop a total of 7 additional times needless to say everything I wore that day was beyond drenched 😂😂

[@daniellestover1375]

This made my Mother’s Day even better!! Love me some Dollywood and y’all showed her off beautifully! 🩷🩷

[@madformessier]

Dollywood is truly a magical place. I went at Christmas time with my 90 yr old mom. All the lights were spectacular. We did not go on one ride and we had a fabulous time. We also did the Dolly show the night before which was themed for Christmas and it was beautiful.

[@richd6362]

Loved Molly walking off at the end with all of the cinnamon bread. 😊

[@stevenichols4639]

“So if I see a bear in the woods, I should hug it?” I spit out my Diet Coke. Great line.

So happy all of you got to finally experience Dollywood. I hope you enjoyed Tennessee in general, I love it here! Love you Mam Fam!

[@robertharless3304]

Took my daughter and it was our first time there. Didn’t do the time saver and glad we didn’t. Got on everything with no significant wait. Great little park. But the the highlight was, seeing Dolly

[@lauradennis6985]

Yay! I’m so happy that y’all finally made it to Dollywood. One thing that I love that I didn’t see on this video were the craftsmen at the park who showcase woodworking, blacksmithing, glass blowing, leather working, candle making, pottery….. I would also suggest going during the Christmas season for those who love Christmas. It is gorgeous.

[@tjhatrel7803]

While they weren’t featured in the video I believe you can hear the blacksmith pinging away in the background while they were in that area

[@leftfinned]

I LOVE that the animals are rescued! Dolly is awesome.

[@rebeccaweasley4641]

This video made my heart so happy! Lived in East TN my entire life and there is no place like it. Grew up going to Dollywood and now taking my own kids. People come to Dollywood with Disney expectations and you just can’t compare the two. Apples and oranges. Hope y’all had a great trip!

[@tanyatortorich6861]

This is the most hilarious video ever! Molly wearing her fringed jacket and hat Plus I love Dollywood and very happy to see all 3 of yall there together!!!

[@micheleceballos6399]

I work in the mental health field, so every day is emotionally exhausting, but these videos are so comforting to come home to. Thank yall!

[@christianstrickland5232]

Yall have to go back to Dollywood during Christmas it is amazing! And eating the warm cinnamon bread with their perfect hot chocolate wrapped up in the cold waiting for the Christmas parade is just an experience in itself! ❤

[@sapphoculloden5215]

Finally! I'm so excited for this. I saw it mentioned on an interview Molly did recently, so I dared to dream ... And now it's really here. Molly at Dolly!

[@Ashdublee]

LOL at the twang coming out of Molly after a few mere moments in Tennessee!

[@PrincessMeggala0913]

Yay Dollywood!!!!!! Gotta say, it was amusing hearing Max’s accent slip a bit this video 😂 Whenever I go home my Minnesota accent is much more pronounced too. Also these coasters are INSANE! I don’t think even *I* would brave some of these!

[@lavetaloca7790]

Wild Eagle is fantastic! It really feels like you're legit flying over the Smokies! Good to see Lightening Rod is back but sad to see the launch up the mountain is gone. Big Bear is fun at night. I can't believe y'all skipped the Bear Trail 😂

[@chrissyott4684]

Yes!! So glad you guys get to visit Dollywood. I love visiting Dollywood.

[@Tatum-pu2bf]

Molly and the boys should go to Silver Dollar City, they also own Dollywood. Though some of the rides are the same some are different too. I have been ever since I was little it is so much fun and so many fun rides it is also a bit bigger than Dollywood. But I think they would have so much fun there! Sorry molly there are two water rides😭😭😭😭.

[@dbeiler5525]

Cinnamon bread and apple butter sounds like heaven!

[@teresaarnburg101010]

Molly with all the cinnamon bread in the end killed me. I lost it. I hope it all made it on the plane. Love Mam so much!! Another amazing video.

[@daniellewhaley]

A loaf (or five) of cinnamon bread would soothe my soul right about now. Nothing like it. 😋

[@julianasuplee6900]

Time saver pass (for both Dollywood and their water park) for each person is also a perk when you stay at one of their cabins, which is what me and I parents did last summer for our first visit. Beautiful, rustic views, and peaceful vibes at their spacious cabins. We found the people friendly as well. Team icing for the cinnamon bread (although it’s delicious just the bread itself)! Yes, the cinnamon bread is worth the hype! Lightning Rod was my first ride at the park and probably my favorite. Love the hat, Molly. Highly recommend the Dreamland Drive-in show (50s/60s music and great acting and singing) which I think is offered only during the summer. Quality shows all around though which are included in the park admission fee. I recommend spending two days at Dollywood if you can to experience everything and not feel rushed.

[@jenthetherapist2301]

LOVE THIS!! Please visit Silver Dollar City next!!

[@kendratucker2548]

Love that you guys are venturing out to other theme parks! Dollywood is such a fun park. You guys should plan a visit to Kings Island next 😁

Grew up going to Dollywood and can attest that Blazing Fury is an underrated treasure. It is the absolute best 😂 so glad y’all had a great time 🩷

[@TheMaxRebo]

We went to Dollywood for the first time a few years ago and we really enjoyed it. Fully agree with Max that a big part of it is the setting. I think the streetmophere is some of my favorite parts (though maybe partly due to how the Chicken Lady embarrassed my son). I may have bought a cinnamon bread themed t-shirt

[@hipo4eyes1]

Man I have been waiting for the Mamfam to visit this park for a while now! Love it when I wake up Sunday morning I have my coffee and see a mammoth Club video uploaded! MAMFAM4LYFE

[@therealrhemajoy]

My hubby and I went to Dollywood two years ago for the first time and absolutely love the charm, theming, and the old school charm of the park. It was very reminiscent of the feeling I got with Disney of the 90’s because of the home feeling and theme. Great place! Also, need that fringe jacket 🥰

[@julianasuplee6900]

Yes, I also love the charming themes of the rides and location in the beautiful and peaceful smoky mountains.

[@anna2991]

You all should visit the real Silver Dollar City next! You have to pay your respects to the OG! Plus Fire in the Hole just got an all new ride system so you can enjoy that Blazing Fury weirdness on a nice smooth track 😂 If you go at Christmastime it’s about as close to Osborne Family Lights as you can get, it’s incredible.

[@Motomama1989]

I should have read the comments before I posted. 🤣 Yes, Fire In the Hole is the OG!
