Strong thunderstorms caused flash flooding at Dolly Parton's Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. Park officials, along with local police and fire departments, swiftly ensured the safety of guests during the Sunday afternoon deluge. Fortunately, only one minor injury was reported, and the park is providing assistance to guests whose vehicles were affected. Cleanup crews have been mobilized to address the aftermath of the flooding.
Despite the weather challenges, Dollywood is set to reopen at noon on Monday, with Splash Country operating as usual since it was not impacted by the flooding. However, McCarter Hollow Road near the park entrance experienced a road collapse on Sunday night, leading to its closure by the Pigeon Forge Police Department.
