NASHVILLE (AP) -- Dollywood is getting another cousin. Dolly Parton is planning a water-snow park in Nashville that will incorporate music. She already has a water park and, of course, she has her Dollywood theme park. Both are in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains. The new Nashville park will be built on 114 acres. It's expected to cost $50 million. There's no name for it yet. Parton is building the park with Gaylord Entertainment as her partner. Gaylord owns the Grand Ole Opry and the Opryland Resort and Convention Center. The new water-snow park could open as early as summer 2014. As many as 500,000 people are expected to visit during its first full season.
