RFD sells again- NO Hatfields and McCoys Dinner Show..
sanddunerider:
I posted this on another site, but since HFEC would be invlolved, I thought would post it here also...
While I was in town this weekend, eating lunch at Get'n Basted (of course), talking to my friends that live in the area.. I was very surprised to be told the RFD had been resold again!!
Yep sold this year, recently. The buyer? none other than Dolly's Dixie Stampede! Yep, bough the building and all the land adjoining.. Nothing like buying out the competition before they even start up..
Of course my questions was what now? Acrobats staying? doing a differnet show there? what?
I was told they were planning on leveling the building.!! I dont know about that detail!, WOW!! Thats a lot of expense, just to level the property and not to worry about return on your money.. Stampede must be making a FORTUNE!!!.
I also am wondering, IF Stampeded did indeed purchase this, since they are managed by HFEC.. who actually bought it? Stampeded? or HFEC..

Pirates might be coming instead (like what’s coming to Pigeon Forge) Waiting on confirmation

That would make way more sense than demoing the building.. BUT something for sure is going to happen, AND it WONT be The Hatfields and McCoys..!

Not sure what Dolly will do, but there's no way the acrobats were going to be able to stay. It was a fun, neat show, but they had absolutely no crowds. Not a chance they were able to cover their bills with the empty theaters they had, so I'm not surprised at all that it sold again.
It will be interesting to see what happens. I surprised there hasn't been something much more visible and successful there in the last few years, as it seems a pretty high profile location.

So was something going to open up there that would have competed with Dixie Stampede?
