- Here are some highlights of the flash flooding in Pigeon Forge Tennessee from July 28, 2024. We got so much rain during this flash flood it closed down Dollywood Theme Park which we show some highlights of. We also go to The Old Mill in Pigeon Forge Tennessee as well to see how bad the Pigeon Forge flooding was on this particular day. Thankfully only 1 minor injury reported.

Here are some highlights of the flash flooding in Dollywood (Pigeon Forge Tennessee) from July 28, 2024. Here is our part 2 update video of this 👉 czcams.com/video/3RykVjRPKMY/video.html
Flooding The DUMBS? are there underground tunnels there too?
Hey...since you're from Pigeon Forge do you know about the Race family and their Eminent Domain situation?
Oh my.
@@AdventureIsOutThere According to Google there was .02 inches of rain yesterday .
TN can't catch a break, stay warm and dry....take care.
So happy to hear everyone got out safely. Good reminder to pay attention to flash flood warnings.
Indeed! Here is our part 2 update 👉 czcams.com/video/3RykVjRPKMY/video.html
That’s going to be one heck of a mess to clean up. Glad no one was hurt just very wet. Lol
Here is our part 2 update going over the clean up 👉 czcams.com/video/3RykVjRPKMY/video.html
Iam so sorry that happened prayers to Dollywood and Pigeon Forge
We get heavy rain every so often. This is the most flooding we have ever seen at Dollywood. Thankfully there was only 1 minor injury!
@@AdventureIsOutThere yes thank goodness only one injured God bless that person I've seen the flooding before watching you alls videos but this is the first time seeing Dollywood getting that flooded thank you for your videos I appreciate them God bless you and your family
@@lovinglife6080 👍
Thanks for the update. We were there Sunday morning until about 1 pm. Glad we made it out before the flood.
I'm going Aug. 6th hope all the water is dried up by then & it doesn't flood anymore. Also plan on staying in Pigeon Forge & surrounding areas for 9-10 days.
Glad to hear no serious injuries. Thanks for the update!
Thats sad ! Prayers to everyone. Thank you for letting us know !
Thankfully only 1 minor injury reported!
@@AdventureIsOutThere Just like school shootings; prayer ain't gonna help with climate change!
Thanks so much for the video! I'm pet sitting up on Laurel Mountain, for a couple that was visiting Gatlingburg, this weekend. We live in East TN, and try not to travel at all, when flash floods are expected, it's just not safe! Blessings and best wishes to you and your loved ones!
Flash flooding is a serious threat to the safety of the public. Whenever flash flooding occurs, remember “Turn Around, Don’t Drown.” Whether you’re driving down a flooded roadway or walking down a sidewalk or trail, do not attempt to enter flood waters. The water can be moving much swifter than you can imagine and can powerfully sweep your car off a roadway or your feet out from under you. So thankful that this situation was managed without any serious injuries. Thanks for your reporting.
The other danger of walking through flood water is that it's usually contaminated with sewer water. So think about THAT before entering.
@@phaedrapage4217 and the snakes
Why do they build homes and parks in river beds !!
@@christinaphillips5933because all of East Tennessee is a river bed or creek bed, if you don’t live on a hill or a mountain, there’s a chance for flooding
"Turn around dont drown"? I thought it was "Turn around dont be a dumbass". Oh well....different storks for different forks I guess.... LOL
So glad no one was bitten by a copperhead, or any other snake. I have seen them around the wooden fences in the parking lot area.
😳
Seriously!! This is making me think about going to Dollywood. I never knew there were snakes that close.
Oh my...what months do you see them the most? Does anyone have an idea of a safer time to go or is the area just unpredictable (weather wise)??
Glad nobody was hurt! ❤
Indeed!
My sister and her husband lives in the Sevierville, TN area. She said it rained hard up that way also, but not to the level that they seen just down the road in Pidgon Fordge. I'm praying for Y'all.
*saw
I watched another video of the flooding at Dollywood. I was shocked and amazed to see how run down, old, dilapidated, and unkept as Dollywood has become. Dolly needs to part with some of her MILLIONS, and fix this place up, or shut it down altogether. Pretty disgusting Dolly!
They did a great job fixing it since this occurred. Here is our part 2 update 👉 czcams.com/video/3RykVjRPKMY/video.html
I don’t know what you are seeing, but I don’t see any of what you’re talking about
I’ve been to dollywood multiple times over the past couple of years, and it doesn’t seem run down and unkept at all. It’s a great amusement park. The storm caused all of these damages.
Before the construction of the TVA, (not the Time Variance Administration from Marvel) flooding like this happened all over East Tennessee.
Its crazy how many times Pigeon Forge has flooded
It happens often. We have never seen Dollywood this flooded!
Rivers do flood regularly, if you live near one you know when it's going to happen.
Time for flood walls, they can be done tasteful and attractive...
Remember this area also had some bad fires a few years ago! They lost many trees! Trees help soak up water ! Basic science! The environment is very important ! Just a reminder from a German -Swiss American.The Green Party actually started in Germany. 🇩🇪 🇨🇭 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚HARRIS 2024!🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
@@InnocentPotato-pd7wi i lived on the next mountain over at the time of the fires almost 10 years ago...dollywood was untouched. Living in the mountains a decades this is actually very common. Seen dollywood flood multiple times as the parking lot and main street is in a flood plain. Nothing new
Man the rain that we have seen this season has been unbelievable
All these southerners have been praying for it
It dry in Ohio. We are almost in a drought. We need to pray for rain here
And yet, on the opposite side of the US, over here in Idaho, we are being smothered in Wildfire smoke and ash. We seriously NEED rain lol
Very well said "If you get a flash flood warning, take it seriously, you can get a massive amount of water quickly here in the Smokies.
Wow I sure hope no severe damage at dollywood and I'm thankful that there was only one minor injury and I'm praying that person is ok. Thanks for the update.
Thank you for sharing . May God bless all who have been thru this storm.❤
Thank God nobody got washed away . The kids will remember that their entire life, just another fun day for them
Indeed, there will be lots of people saying "remember that day we were at Dollywood & turned into Splash Country", memorable indeed!
Put more parking lots more houses on mountain sides more roads more businesses where grass and trees use to be and u will get more and more of this
Tell em son! Born and raised in East Tennessee and most people like me wouldn't care if all of Sevier county washed away. Glad nobody was hurt but the whole county is a thorn in my side!
Whether you build it up, or do not build….its still going to flash flood when these storms dump rain in those mountains. Thats the nature of this region during the summer months.
@@Jefffs_L oh yea. It just looked better when it flooded when there wasn't so much development screwing up the scenery. Dang people everywhere around here now! I can remember when there was a 10 minute ride through the country between Sevierville and pigeon forge. Now you can't tell where one stops and the other starts.
I was there yesterday (Wednesday) with my husbands family and they did a great job with the clean up.
Wow 😲 never seen Dollywood flooded before.
well now u did lol
@@madmikesrcs9596 yep, now I did.
LOL 😁
Thanks for this, I went to Dollywood last summer and after seeing Fiesta Texas, Valleyfair and now Dollywood flooded in 2024, the key is BE PREPARED you won't be prepared enough but try to cover your bases. This year has been wild.
This is crazy. I would think they are a drainage system however that probably got loaded too.
I hope Dollywood can recover quickly. Seeing water through the whole park especially the souvenir shop I was in last October is sad.
Hope everyone is safe and the recovery of their cars in water can be functioning again.
Thanks for the video. I enjoy watching your videos. I visited last year in October for the first time, my parents 2nd time, was had a blast. I'm going again this October solo.
I watch your vids to see what attractions I want to do.
God bless you and your family. Safety is key.
Wow. Flash Floods are no joke. Thanks for the update.
Our pleasure! Here is our part 2 update 👉 czcams.com/video/3RykVjRPKMY/video.html
Great coverage 😊 !
In 1993 after the blizzard, when everything melted there was no waterfall at the old mill. Shops were all knee deep with water.
I remember the blizzard of 93 very well. I live 25 miles north of Knoxville and got stuck in Pigeon Forge for 5 days in 30 inches of snow and they closed the interstate for almost 3 days. When they opened it back up I still couldn’t leave because of the flooding in pigeon Forge. Thankfully I made it back home safely on the 6th day of being stranded on the second floor of the motel.
@@Wannasue09
did you have to pay full price hotel?
@@stevefranke3985 I had already paid for three days when I first got there on the 9th of March. The snow started ironically on my birthday March 11. I was supposed to check out the next day unfortunately I had to stay an additional five days.But to answer your question they did not charge me for the five extra days.
I cant believe you thought you might get into the park during a flash flood 😆
A few years ago my husband and I were down there on vacation and there came a rain so bad that roads and schools were closed. We had to come home a day early. The hotel where we stayed reimbursed us our money. We love Pigeon Forge and the mountains.
Dollywood needs to address this issue. We were there in May and the park had drainage issues then. Parking lot A was flooded as was the road by lot A.
Were you really thinking you get inside the property? Lol
Can’t stop nature
👍
This goes to show how dangerous these mountains can be . When you have a huge watershed and build attractions in the flat areas mother nature will push you aside ,
Wow! That was something else. So sorry for all of those who were caught in this. It is very heartbreaking to see this damage in Dollywood but even more so to people's cars. So thakful that Dollywood is helping people with their cars thatcwere damaged. Thank you for sharing this with us and bringing this to all of us who ove Dollywood.
Happy to share some updates of the Great Smoky Mountains with you guys while you are away!
Oh noòoooo! I love Pigeon Forge. I'm so sorry to the people that live and work there! Also sad for the visitors. I'm really thankful everyone is safe tho. Thanks for letting us know!
The people wearing ponchos waist deep in water really got me 😂 all seriousness, I hope everyone is OK! Injuries, mental states, and personal belongings. ❤
I thought the same thing
Great video stay safe thank you for sharing this video God bless you
We are visiting from the UK next week hopefully it would have settled down by then. Be safe everyone and thanks for the update.
Thanks Ryan for this extended video about the flash flooding at Dollywood and the surrounding areas. I was shocked by the massive amounts of water flooding through the walk paths inside the park. We have had a lot of rain over the last few days down here in Georgia in the area where I live.
Our pleasure TCD! Here is our part 2 update 👉 czcams.com/video/3RykVjRPKMY/video.html
A popular theme park said that once the fireworks are set up they have to shoot them off and cannot leave them for the next night or dismantle the set up. So if unexpected weather occurs they will still be shot off.
Wonder if clearing so many trees for new development and new sections of the park, contributed to this. In 40 years I've never seen this at Dollywood. Even into the stores
Yes this is exactly what happens when you cut a tree down... Stupid.
A freaking forest of trees would not change this situation...
That's like thinking you could clean all this up with towels and a broom while it's happening.
Everyone thinks cutting down a tree is going to collapse the world.
Man has been falling trees since they started growing.... think about it.. No don't,.. it will spark some other idiotic movement.
"no more cutting devices allowed" only forks and spoons allowed., no wait only spoons. forks are dangerous.
Thank the Lord that no one perished. 🙏 Blessings to Ms.Dolly
I knew wouldn't make a video about this. Your the right person to report on it. Thanks!
PRAYERS FOR DOLLY AND ALL IN THE FLOOD
I hope everyone is safe.
Pigeon Forge was my favorite vacation spot as a kid/teen.
We went to Pigeon Forge at least once a year, from the last three years of Silver Dollar City through the first ten years or so of Dollywood.
I wonder if this was just a highly unusual amount of quick flooding, or does Dollywood feel like they have a significant drainage issue?
It was an unusual amount of water causing a flash flood.
Their lust for more development failed to include an adequate water management plan.
I think one could modify the parking lot in a variety of ways and if another flash flood occurs to this magnitude, the water would just find a different route. You do the best you can based on data you have and keep improving upon it.
Keeping cutting down mountains, building houses, paving… where’s all the water going to go to?
There’s been landslides and flooding and have we forgotten how quickly the fires spread in 2016?!!!
The cities have no plans- except to keep building and being in more people! It’s only a matter of time…. That wasn’t that much rain and j common- it just has fewer places to go to
Wait until a mountain side gives way. Be aware folks! It isn’t all fun and games!
Dolly is gonna have to go up in a bra size to pay for her new insurance premiums. So are the rest of us! Here in my area, the county is voting on allowing building in flood planes along rivers. 🤦♀️ 2+2 does NOT = 4 anymore… slippery slope! And we are half way down the hill.
And remember there were a lot of fires in this area! Destroying many , many trees! Trees protect the land, less trees ,more flooding ! Basic SCIENCE!
I agree with you! The city government is crooked and beyond greedy! I think if people boycotted PF for a year it might wake them up! I remember going there in the eighties and you saw so much mountains and wildlife now, you see resorts on hilltops it destroyed it for me I now visit Pennsylvania and Maine which are further travel but, I don’t spend my whole vacation in traffic jams.
She sold the park Un 2020
This is so sad. Why would they even consider reopening on Monday at noon.
The water recedes very quickly there, once the rain stops
O wow how crazy😮😮. Thank God Noone was injured bad. Praying for that one person that got injured.
Thank you for always keeping us updated! Prayers for everyone there.. I’m sure that was frightening thing (for some)
Hope all will be normal soon.
Our pleasure! Here is our part 2 update video 👉 czcams.com/video/3RykVjRPKMY/video.html
Prayers for everyone there in pigeon Forge, and Dollywood all the people I will be there in September. I hope things are better.
Wow! We can get major flash floods in Az too. Hope everyone stays safe and they get things cleaned up quickly.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing
Sorry to hear this, any cars or buildings flooded will have major damage, such as mold and engine damage. So glad that noone was hurt ir killed. God bless you'all.

😅k
I love that place so much. Sorry for all the flooding and hope yall get it cleaned up.
Here is our part 2 update video 👉 czcams.com/video/3RykVjRPKMY/video.html
Whoa! This is cray cray! Been there many times, I don’t live far. Dollywood is built literally on the side of a steep hill. It’s crazy that much water can actually stand anywhere in there since everything is positioned downhill.
it was all running downhill,,,,😒
I’m sure they are going to have to address future flood (drainage)issues
I miss Tennessee so much! My family is from there and im stuck in Cleveland Ohio 💯🤮😞
We are lucky down here in Chattanooga. There is more room for the water to work its way down to the Tennessee River
👍
Sorry to hear, always wanted to go there. Glad everyone is safe!
Glad that everyone is ok. Hope that they get it fixed.
This is what happens when you pave everything over and don't design to deal with heavy rains.
👍
It’s the Smokey Mountains. It’s going to flash flood in the summer no matter what you build or do not build. There’s only so many avenues for water to retreat when you get down into these low places. Go up the road a little ways to Cherokee and Maggie Valley where it’s not remotely this level of development. Still floods. Flash flooding is a part of life in this region.
Thank you for the info Ryan. Praying everyone is okay ✝️
People don't realize how fast a flash flood can move...here in Florida, land of hurricanes, we say Hide from the WIND, but RUN from the water. Sage advice!
Daddy was an old time preacher man
He preached the word of God throughout the land
He preached so plain a child could understand
Yes, Daddy was an old time preacher man
He told the people of the need to pray
He talked about God's wrath and Judgement Day
He preached about the great eternity
And he preached hell so hot that you could feel the heat
Did he tell you it was all a buybull money-making scam?
@@lagodifuoco313 do you have a compass?
@@lagodifuoco313 are you talking about Dolly Parton?
or the bible though?..
wink...wink....
say no more....
Yes, had they been in church that Sunday morning, they wouldn't be wading in high water that afternoon. Jesus is coming soon.
Looking for that blessed hope and glorious appearing of the great GOD and our SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!
Titus 2:13
Glad everyone made it safely out of there. I had previously been there a few months ago. The cabin we stayed in had a horrible drive up to it. Recent heavy rainfall had badly washed the road out. Can't imagine how it would be now. I always like to be weather alert and prepared.

Wow that’s unbelievable, my sister has 2 cabins in that area, hope everyone is ok up there

Free water rides today!
This is the joyful part of living in a high steep mountains area !!
I’m a disabled veteran and I’ve never had a chance to visit Dollywood 😢
A great place...just go...will never forget.
Yeah, we need to talk with the developer of the theme park. Did we do a geographical site survey?
I am not sure they are still alive to talk to. It became Dollywood in 1986 which previously was a Silver Dollar City for a long time before that.
Maybe it was a bad idea to chop the tops off the mountains to built all the cabins and pave every bit of Gatlinburg. There is no where for the rain to soak in. They messed with the pigeon river basin so much this is what happens. So sad.
👍
Absolutely! This is my thoughts, too. Just keep destroying nature for money. They've already ruined the natural beauty with all the massive homes, rental cabins and mountain coasters, the price for that has been shown the past several years with the flooding.
Oh no! Hope all are ok. We love Dollywood. Hopefully no severe damage ❤
Or as we say around here, hopefully no Sevier damage 😉
They have a Flooded Amusement Park attraction too? Awesome!
Dearest Dolly! What can we do to help the area families? Please don't try to take it all on your own shoulders!
Maybe dolly should save some money for this instead of donating to Pfizer to poison people
She has the money
I went to Dollywood the very next day. I couldn’t tell that there was a major flash flood throughout the park other than the fact it opened at noon. The park staff must’ve very quickly cleaned up the mess the storm caused. Had a very good day at the park and managed to ride all the coasters with the exception of Blazing Fury. Lightening Rod had little wait so I rode it 4 times in a row
Glad you had a great day! Here is our part 2 update video 👉 czcams.com/video/3RykVjRPKMY/video.html
I was just at Dollywood last month, it’s a great park, but it’s crazy that the floods due to this place
I'm surprised they would even have the park open with it raining but glad everybody was ok and safe
Omg. I was just there the day before. There were baby ducks. I hope they are ok too.
Wow! Thanks Ryan for the info.
Crazy we was just up there last week,have never seen Dollywood flood like this
Glad no injuries but gotta admit would love to have a storm like that around my area.. big storm lover here
Very well done and informative. Thank you! Cheers!
Good luck with the weather in Tennessee, my friend 😎
I was there it was crazy, I was staying at the Dream More hotel and was able to get a trolly bus back before things got really bad. I was just finishing a ride on Thunder Head when the rain started.
Guess they need to build a solid barrier to keep the water from coming in there..
Wow, thanks for sharing!!!
Turn around, don't drown!
There must have been a massive amount of rain in the surrounding mountains before it hit the park.
I’m going there on a week hopefully everything is cleared up
I miss living there , the whole time I lived there ,never went . Drove down that road all the time lol
Thanks for the info and update
Dolly, you really are a special person for all you do. God bless you.
👍
Dollywood: There’s a flood!
WDW: First time?
I have seen many similar videos from EPCOT. It can see massive rain in the park, but this was probably the highest that we have ever seen it.
This is common at Dollywood every heavy rain and places outside the park.
That's really something and I guess Dolly had been praying for a little rain and God gave a lot
We could use some of that rain in Amarillo Texas and hope everyone is careful and still get to enjoy your time.❤
Sad too see Dollywood flooded like this i last visited Dollywood Labor Day weekend September of 2023
I did a 2 day pass
I live in Alabama just west of Columbus,GA in
Phenix City,AL
About a 5 hour drive
Really bad flooding much worse Dollywood. I’m shocked 😯 see big news tv this morning talking about Dollywood Park flooding. Oh no 😢💔
Thank you Ryan for watching video. 🙏🏻😢
