I will say I get it is a regional park, but it gets way more tourism from other areas than a six flags gets. Because that area is a tourism area in itself.Dollywood is based on the local culture. That's what it means to be a regional park.

This… isn’t my understanding of a regional park at all.Dollywood is based on the local culture. That's what it means to be a regional park.
I think you’re right. Here’s an article saying the same thing as of 2023:This… isn’t my understanding of a regional park at all.
If Dollywood is a regional park, then the only parks in the US that aren’t are the Disney and Universal parks. I don’t think that’s true. Six Flags, Kings Island and Dominion, Kennywood - those are regional parks. Dollywood pulls from a national and even international tourist audience.
They should be *a* focus, but I don't think they should be the end all be all if it means limiting attraction variety. Old Universal did a fantastic job at balancing the two imo.But that is what makes Universal and Disney more Unique is they do normally attempt to deal with sight lines where other parks do not. It is what makes them good compared to the other lower parks.
Just to bring this back to Berk.They should be *a* focus, but I don't think they should be the end all be all if it means limiting attraction variety. Old Universal did a fantastic job at balancing the two imo.
if this was a Jurassic land, the dinosaurs would see that & go "I also think Starfall’s comet lighting at night may look magical from within Berk.
I get what you're saying, but I don't necessarily think it's an apt comparison. The tall and imposing steel track and supports for Dragons is quite different from Hagrid's, where the track weaves though a lush and well themed environment.I always found it amusing when people complained about (Dueling) Dragons Challenge being an eyesore & didn't fit Hogsmeade/Potter.
I'm like... you literally have coaster trains that are designed as Dragons. Potter features Dragons. You're complaining because you can see roller coaster track. But yet, somehow Hagrids gets a pass.
Honestly I think I'd prefer to see mutton on the menu.Do we think they'll put lamb on the menu at the main dining location?
The problem with Dueling was that its colors didn't fit the motif of Hogsmeade, so it was a bit jarring. If it had received darker tones and some more foliage, it would have fit the land better instead of appearing as an afterthought.I always found it amusing when people complained about (Dueling) Dragons Challenge being an eyesore & didn't fit Hogsmeade/Potter.

My brain was already quoting FJ as soon as I saw this construction. "Hurry onto the Quidditch Pitch" "Showing off for your Muggles admirers Potter?" "DEMENTORS"Wish we could get a forced perspective quidditch stadium somewhere in Hagrid
Wouldn't be surprised if we get something that looks like a Golden Snitch somewhere around this spot. Probably be wood painted gold if they did so it would still look like it fit in.Those grandstands are going to look very nice. Wish we could get a forced perspective quidditch stadium somewhere in Hagrid
