By tntornadox

Apr. 3rd, 2005 -- Dolly Parton was on hand Friday, April 1 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of her amusement park, Dollywood. The day was full of sneak peaks for the guests as the park looks ahead to the next 20 years.

Guests at the preview of The Moscow Circus show got more then they expected when Parton handed all 1,600 guests in the audience free passes for admission and parking for the next 20 years for both Dollywood and Splash County, its water park.

Meanwhile, the park is seeking to undergo major expansions in the next 20 years. Parton has indicated interest in a resort hotel and even additional Dollywood parks in other countries. Dollywood has also set aside several hundred million dollars for expansion.
