• With later nighttime hours, you can ride Dollywood’s world-class roller coasters all day and well into the night.
• Enjoy a ground breaking, multi-sensory experience that paints the night sky above Dollywood with stunning animations and superior storytelling to create a symphony of light!  This sensational show features hundreds of drones flying high above the Smoky Mountains to create stunning 3D animations that tell a dynamic, Dollywood-exclusive story.
• As part of the half-a-million-dollar production, a hyped DJ and energetic dancers bring the fun to the streets in Wildwood Grove and make guests part of the action during a 30-minute party that ensures every member in the family is on their feet. As the dancing nears its finale, the party takes to the sky when the drones launch into the air for an unforgettable end to the evening.
