Over the past year, country star Dolly Parton’s theme park Dollywood seems to be soaring higher than ever. Typically, when one thinks of theme parks, a few moguls will come to mind. Of course, it is hard to ignore the Disney theme parks around the world, especially Walt Disney World Resort. Universal also has massive theme parks, taking up a large foot print of the theme park space not only in Orlando, but globally. Additionally, now that Cedar Fair has merged with Six Flags, the Six Flags entity is the largest theme park corporation in terms of theme park count, making it known to nearly everyone as there is likely a regional theme park in or near every state, as well as in Canada and Mexico.
