Celebrity Theme Parks Are a Thing
Celebrity culture is huge in the United States. We love our celebrities so much that we even have amusement parks named after some of them. What’s more, they’re extremely successful! This person was particularly baffled that Dolly Parton has her own theme park, Dollywood, in her home state of Tennessee.
They thought Dollywood was a joke, but Dolly Parton’s business is very much alive and well. Opened in 1986, Dollywood is Tennessee’s largest ticketed attraction and sees upwards of 2 million visitors every season. Dolly Parton is known to be very generous and kind, so her positive public image probably has a lot to do with Dollywood’s success.
