Google Street View Comes to Dollywood’s Pigeon Forge Amusement Park
With tons of thrilling rides, exciting shows and great food, it’s no wonder why Dollywood’s Pigeon Forge Amusement Park is one of the most popular attractions in the Smoky Mountains. That being said, a trip to Dollywood can also be a little pricey for families wanting to go there on their next Smoky Mountain vacation. However, thanks to the creative team with Google Street View, fans of the beloved Pigeon Forge amusement park can now get a special sneak peak inside the attraction before they arrive.
Google Street View of Dollywood’s Pigeon Forge Amusement Park
The way it works is members of the Google Street View team visited the Pigeon Forge attractions on a day they were closed, and the team took pictures using a special camera to create a virtual tour of the two parks.
The virtual tour of Dollywood takes guests all the way from the Chasing Rainbows Theater to the Wilderness Pass.
In an article on Business Wire, the President of The Dollywood Company, Craig Ross said, “We’re Excited to be included in Google’s Street View program. Our guests now have the opportunity to tour both of our beautiful parks and see Dollywood’s world-famous attractions before they arrive. We hope it serves as an aid to assist them as they plan their visit.”

The pictures were taken late last year, so unfortunately the Pigeon Forge amusement park’s latest ride, The FireChaser Express, is not included with the tour. However, you can catch a glimpse of what this coaster would be like to ride by watching this video:
Other popular attractions that have been included with Google Street View are the Eiffel Tower, Mountain Everest, the Grand Canyon, and the Seattle Space Needle.
