This crowd calendar predicts daily crowd levels for Dollywood through 2026. The number is how full the park is: how long the queues run on its main rides in the middle of the day, on one scale for every park (50% is about a 17-minute queue, 70% half an hour, 90% an hour), or, where the park sells dated tickets, the share of its capacity sold if that is higher. The word beside it (Quietest to Busiest) compares the day with this park's own history, so a small park can be at its busiest on a day that is still short queues. The lower the number, the shorter the queues, so pick a quiet day and ride more.

Queues at Dollywood average 13 minutes across 58 recorded days, and 21 minutes on the busiest of them. A high score means busy for this park.

Crowd levels are modelled from this park's own recorded queue times, school and public holidays, day of the week and the weather forecast, and may not always be right. Opening hours come from the park and can change. Always check the park's own site before travelling. We score every past forecast against what the queues actually did and publish the result in the crowd forecast accuracy ledger.
