Dolly Parton Plans to Bring Dollywood to the World

By James Wray Apr 5, 2005, 3:57 GMT

Country star Dolly Parton thrilled fans during the 20th anniversary celebration of her Dollywood theme park on Friday (01APR05) - by vowing to open a succession of Dollywood resorts around the world.The buxom singer, 58, is delighted the amusement park - which features more than 30 breast-themed rides and attractions - was named the top paid tourist attraction in Tennessee last year (04).And after the anniversary celebrations, Parton took to the stage and announced that although she rejected a proposed Dollywood II in Japan in 2002, she is keen to invest in resorts across the globe.She says, "We are just getting started. We are going to keep dreaming and continuing to grow and prove that we are one of the best theme parks in the whole wide world."But it will have to make good sense. I was just feeling Dollywood would do a lot of good for the folks back here because I have watched my family and other families around here struggle to make ends meet."I wanted to create a place where families can have fun and also to give folks good work and have enough money to raise a good family of their own."
