Danielle White+FollowDollywood drama: Line-cutting sparks chaosOne family’s day at Dollywood quickly turned into a scene nobody expected—when a group tried to sneak seven people into line, things got heated fast. Guests who’d been waiting their turn weren’t having it, and what started as a simple call-out escalated into shouting, swearing, and even shoving—all in front of kids. The park staff didn’t step in right away, so police had to get involved. It’s wild how quickly basic courtesy can break down in public spaces. How would you handle a situation like this? Is it ever okay to confront rule-breakers directly, or should staff always step in first? #News #Dollywood #Tennessee32Share
boothconnor+FollowDollywood’s new drink rules spark outrageDollywood’s latest move has longtime fans fuming: the park is testing out a QR code drink system that tracks every ounce you pour and limits refills—even for season pass holders.

Folks online are calling it a cash grab and saying it’s the last straw for family visits. Is this just the new normal for theme parks, or is Dollywood losing its special touch? #News #Dollywood #ThemeParks00Share
