Is Dollywood closing after Dolly Parton's death? Park clarifies as fans queue to mourn singer; ‘the show…’
Dollywood closed Tuesday following Dolly Parton’s death but will reopen Wednesday. The park said it will continue her legacy with “the show must go on.”
Dolly Parton's passing on Tuesday led thousands of fans to Dollywood, the theme park in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee owned by her estate and Herschend Family Entertainment. The park canceled all events for the day and went down with an error message stating they were experiencing an "abnormally high volume." However, Dollywood will reopen for visitors starting Wednesday, August 26, according to a statement released amidst concerns.
The park will return to normal operations, as Dolly Parton wished, emphasizing the theme "the show must go on." Dollywood's ownership and day-to-day functioning will not be affected by Parton's death, as her estate and the Herschend Family Entertainment continue to co-manage the amusement park.
