PIGEON FORGE, Tenn. (August 25, 2026) – It is with profound sadness and deep gratitude that we remember Dolly Parton—an extraordinary artist and visionary partner. Almost 40 years ago we partnered with Dolly to create our venues that have welcomed millions of guests, created opportunities for thousands, and strengthened the communities we serve. Dolly’s impact, however, has always gone far beyond the destinations we’ve built together.

“Working alongside Dolly Parton over the years has been one of the great honors of our company’s history,” said Jack Lawrence, CEO of World Choice Investments. “Our partnership was built on a shared commitment to creating meaningful, memorable experiences for families. Dolly’s vision elevated everything she touched, but it was her kindness and genuine love for people that left the greatest impression on all of us. Her legacy will continue to guide how we serve our guests and carry forward the traditions we built together.”

A designated memorial has been placed at our Stampede locations in Pigeon Forge and Branson as well as our Pirates Voyage locations in Myrtle Beach and Panama City Beach. Our venues have become gathering places for Dolly’s fans and admirers, and it was her wish that they remain open as a place for families to remember her and celebrate her life by enjoying our experiences together.

Dolly was also famous for her tireless work ethic, a principle that inspired countless generations around the world. It is that same work ethic that dictates our decision to remain open. As Dolly said, “the show must go on,” and we will honor her wishes.

You’ve Never Had Dinner Like This Before!®

“Remember your mom’s kitchen table? Recall all the meals shared with the folks you love most?

When I was a little girl, my family would get together and have a big time. We’d all laugh, yell, sing and share a home cooked meal. My Stampede brings back those good times. You and your family will enjoy the friendly competition, beautiful horses, trick riding, romance, music and laughter, all complemented by a delicious feast of the finest ingredients. I guarantee my Stampede Dinner Show Attraction is the most fun place to eat. So make it your family tradition!”

I guarantee it! - Dolly

Such a great experience for kids. They get to do everything we tell them not to at home; yell inside, eat with their hands and bang on the table. What more could you ask for!
