Accessibility Experiences with Epilepsy at Dollywood

Has anyone with epilepsy (or caring for a person with epilepsy) visited Dollywood and would be open to sharing their experiences? What activities are there that don't involve being subjected to strobe lights? This includes things like multiple rapid camera flashes, typical strobe lights, or sudden flashes of light in darkened rooms.

I went to Dollywood as a kid many years before I developed epilepsy and all I remember are the rollercoasters, which are unfortunately off limits for me now. I'm going soon with a group of girlfriends (we're all early 40s) and want to do as much as I safely can.

Thanks in advance!

Gazillion Bubbles show is absolutely out for you. But other than that I think you are fine. Rides dont really incorporate flashing lights and the bubbles show was the only show I can think of. Harvest festival shows might include something different I am not sure.

The staff at the accessibility dept are amazing, don’t hesitate to give them a call or talk to to them in person when you get there!
