Dollywood’s Splash Country Opens for 16th Season

Water park adds upgrades and new food offerings

PIGEON FORGE, Tenn.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Guests know summer fun is right around the corner when the award-winning
Dollywood’s Splash Country opens the gate on Saturday, May 14. The water
adventure park—home to RiverRush®, Tennessee’s first and only water
coaster—continues to improve the guest experience as it begins its 16th
season.

“We always want to treat our guests to a few surprises each season,”
said Dollywood’s Splash Country General Manager, Mike Brown. “This year,
we hope they notice more efficiency, more amenities and great new food
options. Our team is ready for the 2016 season!”

From its 2001 opening, Dollywood’s Splash Country was designed to be a
uniquely themed, state-of-the-art, family water park where families
could come to recharge and reconnect. It has continued to impress guests
and industry experts alike, garnering national and international
recognition. Among the list of accolades, Dollywood’s Splash Country has
been named America’s Must-See Water Park by the International
Association of Amusement Parks & Attractions and as one of America’s
best water parks by the Travel Channel.

This season, guests can look for added value and efficiency with
upgrades to the turnstiles, retreats and canopies, food locations and
more family locker space.

And when all the swimming and sliding works up guests’ appetites, they
can enjoy new food offerings including gourmet hot dogs from Nathan’s
Famous Hot Dogs®, a 1/3 lb. burger on a brioche bun, crinkle cut fries,
homemade cookies from Dollywood’s Spotlight Bakery and fried dough
pastries called BeaverTails®—with choose-your-own toppings!

Dollywood’s Splash Country lifeguards also are re-energized for the new
season as Jeff Ellis & Associates, Inc. just honored them with the
prestigious Platinum International Aquatic Safety Award for their
diligence while guarding the pools at Dollywood’s DreamMore Resort™.

Whether guests love thrills like Fire Tower Falls, the state’s tallest
twin speed slides; playing with the family in Bear Mountain Fire Tower®,
a multi-level interactive attraction; or prefer relaxing in the
Downbound Float Trip a 1,500-foot lazy river—everyone is going to love
soaking up the fun at Dollywood’s Splash Country.
