June 2007 - Dollywood's Splash Country Opens New Cascades Area This Weekend

The $3 million Cascades project is the largest expansion in the Splash Country park's history. It offers a zero-depth entry pool studded with things to keep children wet and entertained.



The Cascades™, an 8,000-sq.-ft. lagoon-style pool, features more than 25 interactive elements. Slides weave throughout the giant rock grotto while refreshing 20-foot-tall sprays rise from the pool’s geyser.

"We have areas for little kids and older kids, but this area is just perfect for those in between those two groups," park Senior Operations Manager Mike Brown said. " People had been telling us they wanted a pool in the park, but we didn't want to do just a pool. The goal of this area is to create something like an Abrams Falls swimming hole."

Relax in the contoured seating area or in a chaise lounge chair situated on the 24,000-sq.-ft. deck space. Children can explore hidden misters, bubblers and slides in secret coves around the pool’s perimeter.
