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.

Awesome update. The new coaster is looking great. I'm surprised they already have a plinko game for the new coaster. I guess its never to early to win a Front of the line pass. Dollywood looks great with all the lights and decorations in the park.

First of all, welcome to the forums! I know you've been here awhile but haven't posted much and I'd love to see you post more as this was a great report.
Second of all I really enjoyed looking through this. They really put an an amazing Christmas event. We went to the park for the first time a few weeks ago and I'm now in love with the place. Just looking at that cinnamon bread made me hungry.
