Since its opening in 1961 under a different name, Dollywood has attracted millions upon millions of visitors for its concerts, crafts, and thrill rides. Both Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton enjoyed a ride on the premises, but it was not a rollercoaster; rather, the two road a golf cart together. A lucky parkgoer recently saw the two drive by and captured the moment in a video shared to TikTok. Even more photos and videos have also popped up on Facebook. While the meeting of two country icons even in a candid moment is exciting, these two were actually together to collaborate on a project, making this fun moment doubly special.

Both appear dressed in their signature styles, with Parton in a stylish two-piece and Nelson sporting his usual bandana and leather jacket.

Parton had a few big announcements for her time at the park as well. For one thing, she revealed, early 2023 would see the introduction of Big Bear Mountain, a rollercoaster of almost 4,000 feet in length. Since the park is open from March to around Christmas, it can be expected in early spring. But Parton is also working with Nelson for an NBC holiday season that prominently features Dollywood.
