A husband and wife are suing Dolly Parton’s famous theme park, Dollywood, over claims that they took theirteo daughters on the RiverRush Water Coaster at Dollywood Splash Country in Pigeon Forge, TN last summer, which caused the wife a compression fracture and other spinal injuries.
The couple claims they followed the instructions of the theme park staff while getting on the water ride but, as their raft got to the top of its incline, things went awry. According to the documents… the wife was “propelled off the seat and she then fell down into the raft striking her spine on the hard surface.”
The woman claims she heard a pop, felt a burning sensation, and could not feel or move her legs at the end of the ride.
The couple is suing Dollywood for more than $2 million for negligence and failure to properly warn of the dangers of the ride.
