I think I would be more interested in Dollywood. I enjoy riding roller coasters, and ride as many as I can.
I never would have thought there was any where to go vacation in TN other than Nashville and Memphis, but Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge sounds like it would be pretty fun place to go.
It’s to bad that I have missed mountain fest this sounds like a great time.
