Episode Details

Dolly Parton missed the grand opening of Dollywood’s $50 million NightFlight Expedition ride—her first major absence from a park event in years—due to health issues, specifically dehydration. Though she sent a heartfelt video message apologizing and explaining her doctor’s grounding, she remains upbeat, assuring fans she’ll see them soon. The immersive, five-and-a-half-minute ride blends rollercoaster thrills with whitewater rapids and multimedia effects, marking Dollywood’s most ambitious attraction yet. This isn’t the first time Dolly’s health has sidelined her: she postponed her Las Vegas residency last fall and skipped a Dollywood announcement after a kidney stone infection. Despite not touring since 2016, she continues performing and pushing forward, leaving fans eager for her next appearance.
