I went to Dollywood yesterday and took a few pictures so I decided to make a trip report. This is my first one so any comments or critiques would be greatly appreciated. Anyway, Fire Chaser Express looks wonderful. There is lots of track in place and they were working to put track in place while I was there. Although they do not have the track completed yet, it looked like about 50% of it was in place.
As for Smokey Mountain Christmas, the park looked great! I didn't think A Christmas Carol was that great, but I guess the Holograms were cool. All the other Christmas shows I had seen before and were great as always. As for Dolly's new family show, I thought it was a great update from the Kinfolks show that was there before it was.
