After having just gotten back from another park with multiple roller coasters (some of which were constantly breaking down) and very rude park personnel, I really appreciate what we have here in Tennessee. Dollywood is an excellent value. The people there are friendly and helpful. Although there are only two coasters, there are plenty of other rides and things to do and the workers get you through quickly. Cups of cold water are available at any restaurant in the park free of charge. The entertainment in the shows is well above average, compared to other parks. There is also a wide selection of food choices from the usual park fare (fast food) to sit down meals and buffets. If you plan more than one visit, get a season ticket. It is cheaper in the long run.
Pros: Friendly staff, Entertainment, Open most of year
Cons: Single day cost, Lack of thrill rides
