_Dollywood Theme Park Up for Sale After Devastating Flash Flood_
Pigeon Forge, TN – In a shocking move, Dollywood theme park is being put up for sale after suffering significant damage from the recent flash flood. The park, owned by Dolly Parton and Herschend Family Entertainment, has been a beloved destination for millions of visitors each year.
The flash flood, which hit the area earlier this week, caused extensive damage to the park’s infrastructure, including rides, attractions, and buildings. Despite efforts to repair and restore the park, the owners have made the difficult decision to sell.
“It’s with a heavy heart that we’ve made this decision,” said Dolly Parton in a statement. “Dollywood has been a labor of love for me and my team, but the damage from the flood has been catastrophic. We can’t bear the thought of closing the park permanently, so we’re hoping to find a new owner who will love and care for it as much as we have.”
The sale includes the entire theme park, water park, and resort, as well as all assets and intellectual property. The asking price has not been disclosed, but industry experts estimate it to be in the hundreds of millions.
Potential buyers are already lining up, with several theme park operators and investors expressing interest. The sale is expected to be completed within the next few months.
Dollywood will remain open for the remainder of the season, with a farewell celebration planned for the final weekend. Fans and loyal visitors are invited to come and bid farewell to the park as it enters a new chapter.
