To whom it may consern

My husband and I are in our 60s we have a very limited income, in 2012 we had saved up enough money to take our grandchildren and children to dollywood. The main thing I wanted to do was to ride the train with my grandchildren. I have parkinson disease and rented a little scooter to ride as a part with. We stopped at two rides and then we headed for the train I part scooter as close to the train as I could. My two daughters came and helped me off the scooter and we started to walk toward the train. As we approach the train the security guard informed me that I could not ride up front with my family, my daughter questioned him and was adamant about letting me ride up front with my family they argued but the guard I could not ride in front with my family I daughter asked if they could ride in the back with me his answer was no there were about 10 empty seats ahead of us so my husband and I rode in the very back of the train I couldn't even see my family will sitting I was humiliated and embarrassed my little grandson could not understand why his grandma could not sit with him I called mr. Fox in pigeon forge the manager of dollywood and he offered me free tickets of which I refused my life is worth more than tickets I went to court the only reason I lost the case is because I waited too long to file the lawsuit. I get angry every time I think of this. I was discriminated against in the worse way the only reason he even knew the guard that I had a disability but because I was in the scooter I could walk he made me feel like I was a monster or something. No amount of money could buy the day I missed with my family of nine bets on many tickets we had to buy. The judge wanted to find out some information about what went own he said he would decide in three days my verdict when he came back was only because I waited too late to follow suit and I didn't win. I feel your rich company should at least pay for the day we lost at dollywood travel, motel food tickets to get in and scooter you should be able to find my records at the courthouse in pigeon for mr. Fox could verify he is head of security at dollywood. You don't do people like they treated me at dollywood. If you have any moral or even care you would reimburse me for the time and money my family lost at dollywood which would be about $1000 for everything

My wife and I both worked at Dollywood on Adventure Mountain. We noticed issues there starting in April, Things like inappropriate sexual conduct and comments, favoritisms between supervisors and other hosts. We started taking our concerns through the proper channels, the further we climbed the less we achieved. The final straw was the fact that during an investigation, we got reprimeanded for swearing, but the let the sexual harrassment contiue. It got to the point that we had to quite because we were pin pointed as trouble makers, not mention target for ever little thing that happened. Hosts would do the same thing that we did(talk, late on breaks, etc) we would get reprimanded, where as other host would have nothing said. Dollywood preaches about how they are a Christian based ompany, but in realty they treat their employees like dirt. All they care about is the almighty dollar. Sounds like hypochristian's to me. Shame on Dollywood.
