Hi guys. When talking about theme parks in the USA, the big names like Disney, Universal, Six Flags and Cedar Fair are usually some of the first operators to spring to mind. Another operator that may come to mind, however, is Herschend. Not necessarily because of their own brand name, but because they operate two theme parks that are often lauded as being among the best themed parks in the USA outside of Disney and Universal; Dollywood and Silver Dollar City. These two theme parks are arguably broadly comparable to one another; both seemingly have quite a similar folksy vibe (for lack of a better term), both have some similar Western-style theming, and both parks have some broadly comparable rides. Indeed, Dollywood even operated under the Silver Dollar City moniker from 1976 to 1985, so the two parks have very similar roots. With this in mind, I’d be interested to know; if you’ve visited both, do you prefer Dollywood or Silver Dollar City?
I’ve visited neither, so I’m not at liberty to vote here, but I’d be keen to hear your opinions!
