Dollywood Opening Weekend 2025

Today we've got a nice update for you from Dollywood and their opening weekend! Lots of announcements at the media event as they get ready for another fantastic season, and an even bigger one coming up in 2026! 

For more information about Dollywood's 2025 Season, click here for the full press release. 

Let's head in for some fun. 
Picture
As always, the weekend kicked off with a press event and news about the park.
Picture
To everybody's surprise our beloved Dolly showed up for her first event after the passing of her husband. I think we all would have understood if she decided to skip this years event. But Dolly being Dolly is never a surprise.
Picture
We'll start off with some Country Fair refresh shots … it really does look great. The goal, per park management, is to approach the detail seen in Wildwood Grove. No easy task, but definitely a great target ​

Final Piece of Big Bear Mountain Track Installed at Dollywood

​Dollywood’s newest roller coaster, Big Bear Mountain, continues toward its “BIG” opening this spring, as the last piece of track was put into place on Tuesday afternoon. At 3,990 ft., the roller coaster will become the longest at the park. It also will be the first ride at Dollywood to feature on-board audio.
 
Big Bear Mountain’s massive structure hugs six acres of undulating topography which runs along the border of Wildwood Grove, with riders racing through the wilderness before soaring high above the forest on the search for the legendary bear. Featuring a top speed of 48 mph, Big Bear Mountain takes guests through three separate launches, multiple airtime hills, high-speed carousel turns, and tunnels, including a pass behind a waterfall.
