Dolly Parton opens Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show
PANAMA CITY BEACH, Fla. (WMBB) – After a year and a half of construction, Pirates Voyage Dinner and Show is now open in Panama City Beach. This is their biggest of Dolly Parton's 3-Pirates Voyage attractions, with seating for more than 1,000 people. Parton says she thought Panama City Beach was the perfect place to open a new location. 'We know this is a great vacation spot and this is a wonderful place to come have supper because kids will be hungry after that, maybe they'll sleep good too after they had a good meal and been entertained,' Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show Founder Dolly Parton said. Pirates Voyage will host up to four shows a day, where performers battle each other on a stage that consists of floating pirate ships. Buccaneer Bay Lagoon is where the action takes place. Pirates from the sapphire and crimson teams battle each other across the stage. They are joined by Captain Blackbeard and Salty the Sea Lion. Visit PCB celebrates Tourism Appreciation Day with Pirates Voyage The shows include audience participation. 'You'll pick your side, and then we'll have competitions to see who is going to win Davy Jones's treasure,' Captain Blackbeard said. And everyone gets involved. 'Even your server, who is bringing you the fabulous four-course feast, gets involved in the show. Still kind of have to watch and see what your server is doing when they're part of Blackbeard's crew,' Pirates Voyage Dinner & Show PR Manager Ellen Liston said. The attraction has already created 300 jobs in the area. Parton says performers come from all over to be a part of the show. 'We literally have folks from all over the country, as a matter of fact, all over the world. And they kind of keep track of people that do these kinds of things. So we're just so proud to have all these great performers, and they are so talented,' Parton added. Pirates Voyage added another show that will start at 8:30 on Thursday night. It is open to the public. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Steelers' Beanie Bishop says it would be 'pretty cool' to sign 'funny guy' Aaron Rodgers
Steelers' Beanie Bishop says it would be 'pretty cool' to sign 'funny guy' Aaron Rodgers Despite being unsigned, Aaron Rodgers may be one of the most polarizing figures in Pittsburgh — but not if you asked second-year Steelers CB Beanie Bishop Jr. Bishop — whose recent disrespect of the Pitt Panthers football logo has gone viral — was asked on Day 5 of OTAs what it would mean to have Rodgers on the Steelers. Having been linked to Rodgers last season for intercepting two passes from the four-time MVP — and hilariously asking him to sign them — here's what Bishop had to say about the veteran QB (courtesy of Steelers Live): "I think it would be a cool thing. You know, obviously, to have another guy that's ultimately going to be in the Hall of Fame," Bishop said. "I met him when he was in the facility — he's a funny guy. So, I think it'll be pretty cool." Bishop is, of course, referencing the 'secret' meeting at the Steelers facility back in March, during which Rodgers went to great lengths to avoid the media from turning it into a headline — but clearly, he made a positive impression on the young Steelers CB.
