TGIF, things seem to slow down a bit on Friday so hopefully I will not get any upsetting calls from the insurance company. I have more than enough info to deal with now. All their calls do is create extra worry. In other news I found out this AM Dollywood is closing permanently. I was kind of surprised to hear that as it was a highly ranked amusement park. I had visions of visiting at some point bI guess not too many people have the cash to be visiting fancy amusement parks at the moment.

I checked, a single-day Dollywood adult ticket costs around $92, I do not see many people spending that kind of money for an amusement park.

They would for Disney, but Dollywood is not Disney.

@snowy22315 May be Disney is the only Amusement Park where people still go spending a fortune.

I'm surprised to hear that Dollywood is closing. Like you, I thought it was very popular and a big tourist attraction.

Marie said the main part of the park isn't closing, but the headline sure made it seem that way.

That really surprises me considering, like you said, it’s so highly rated. Makes me a tiny bit sad. I’d like to think of that place as “living” forever.

Wow! That's a surprise. They must not have the attendance if they're closing. I just read Anna's comment. I wouldn't spend $92 for a ticket.

Snowy, I saw this news article a little while ago. I don't think the main Dollywood is closing.

It is a shame that Dollywood is closing permanently.
