Construction theme park to open in Sevierville

A new theme park allowing families to drive, ride, and operate different construction equipment will soon be opening in Sevierville. The Dig’n Zone Theme Park broke ground on Aug. 23, 2022, and is slated for opening in the spring of next year with price of admission to be determined. The park will have more than 25 construction-based attractions including an excavator with a modified bucket, a modified mining truck, and a variation of the game operation using an excavator. The park has partnered with Caterpillar to supply vehicles and machines, and the company will also use the property for employee days and to demonstrate new products. Seasonal experiences are also planned for the park, including fall hayrides and Christmas events.
