It will be held April 11 to coincide with the Titanic’s maiden voyage from Southampton, England, to New York City.

Just this month, Wilderness at the Smokies resort launched a new towel program designed to give guests the high level of service and convenience they are accustomed to from the resort while significantly reducing the amount of washing and drying it does and the energy it consumes. With every waterpark pass, guests are issued a towel card which allows each visitor to have two towels at all times. As the towels become wet, guests simply trade them for dry towels. The new towel card system has already resulted in a huge reduction in energy use by the resort.
