12 Strange Things Spotted At Dollywood

Dolly Parton is on a roll lately. First, she dominated Twitter, then she inspired the best episode of "Drunk History" yet, and now her beloved theme park, Dollywood, is getting a $300 million facelift. For Parton purists, this news has to be bittersweet. Visiting the Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, amusement park is like walking through the mind of the mad genius herself. There's a random assortment of Americana, both gaudy and down-home. And as with Dolly, not much has changed since 1986, when the park opened. The renovations will no doubt give the park a more modern feel — with new rides and a super-sized resort. So let's take a moment to remember how the strangest place on Earth once was. Take a look a look at some of the wild and wonderful things you might stumble upon during your trip down Dollywood lane. —Piper Weiss, Yahoo! Shine
