Dollywood Discussion / Re: Dolly Parton Passes Away

I have yet to make it to Dollywood. But, I've always loved Dolly. Her music, humor, values, authenticity, philanthropy. Truly an American icon. This news has hit hard this week.

A truly great American Icon is lost. Heard it was a very surreal experience for workers and park goers attending when they heard the news as it broke. Hopefully her wishes for the future of her theme park is respected. I am due to paying Dollywood a visit as I haven't been since before covid happened so I may do that later this year to pay my respects.

Hopefully they don't remove any classic rides for something mid like another MO park is doing.

I get that it's called that as homage to Six Flags over Mid America but "Mid America Adventure" just doesn't seem like a name for an amusement park

How does everyone feel about the new name?

Mid America Adventure.

has very mid vibes for me.

Besides the obvious joke, that feels a little too real. I'm trying to withhold judgment and see what else they do along with the rebrand.

I should be able to get to it this weekend (knock on wood). Should have done it last weekend, but I ended up working through the weekend and didn't feel like coming home to more work.

Oddly, we haven't been getting the massive bandwidth spike this month. I think when the site was knocked offline for a week last month it caused something to reset somewhere...

I just saw where Dolly Parton has passed away at the age of 80.  Rest in peace, Dolly.
