Dollywood has always been more than just a theme park. Nestled in the Smoky Mountains, it’s a celebration of Appalachian culture, music, and adventure. Since Dolly Parton partnered with Herschend Family Entertainment, the park has steadily grown into one of the most unique destinations in the theme park world. Now, Dollywood is taking its boldest step yet. In 2026, the park will debut Nightflight Expedition—its most ambitious and expensive ride ever, with a $50 million price tag. Housed inside a massive 44,000 square foot show building in Wildwood Grove, this one-of-a-kind hybrid attraction combines coaster thrills, whitewater rapids, and immersive storytelling.
