Pigeon Forge is getting another great new attraction! The Hollywood Wax Museum will invest $15 million to bring the museum back to life in Pigeon Forge. Earlier in 2010 the old was museum located in Gatlinburg was closed with only the Branson, Mo location remaining. The 30,000 square foot facility will be constructed where the Dinosaur Walk Museum now stands and is scheduled to open in the sring on 2012.
Tej Sundher, one of the partners in the business, said “Pigeon Forge will become our model wax museum because we’ll build it from the ground up with a third more space than we have in Branson,” he said. “That allows us to combine our most successful elements from 45 years of experience with our whole new wish list.”
The exterior will feature a scale model of the New York skyline with King Kong scaling a skyscraper, along with a model of the Hollywood Sign. A “Mount Rushmore” style facade with the faces of Hollywood icons John Wayne, Elvis Presley, Judy Garland and Charlie Chaplin will stand beside it.
The developers, Kuvera Partners, are willing to invest the money because they believe the area meshes with their plans. “We know that Pigeon Forge is a perfect match for this,” Sundher said. “We have a general manager who lives in Sevierville, and we are looking forward to bringing in attractions that will do great things for the area for years to come.”
