Dollywood is expected to re-open at noon today after one person was injured during flash flooding that closed the park and shut down a portion of Veterans Boulevard.

Pigeon Forge Police and Fire Departments assisted the park in getting guests to safety and said only one minor injury had been reported during yesterdayโ€™s flooding (Sunday).

Dollywood is supporting guests whose vehicles were affected. Dollywoodโ€™s Splash Country is not affected and will open at its regularly scheduled time.
