Dolly Parton's Dollywood theme park in the east Tennessee hills topped the list, the National Amusement Park Historical Association announced in a news release.
The 39th annual NAPHA Amusement Park and Attractions Survey found that Dollywood beat out Disneyland in California in the theme park category. Dollywood came in second to Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia, in the Most Beautiful Park category. Busch Gardens has been on top in that category for 35 years...........
Dollywood was named America's favorite theme park in 2023 and 2022, after being tied with two others in 2021, according to Fox Business.
With more than 50 rides and attractions, Dollywood brings in more than 2 million visitors each year.
