House Joint Resolution 15, sponsored by Atchley, recognizes Dollywood on the occasion of its fortieth anniversary, which will be celebrated in 2025. Opened by Dolly Parton in Sevier County on May 3, 1986, Dollywood has grown to become a premier family destination, earning the top ranking among U.S. theme parks on TripAdvisor. The resolution highlights the special events planned for the anniversary season, including a season passholder preview day, a new anniversary show debuting on Memorial Day weekend, and a drone and fireworks show during the Smoky Mountain Summer Celebration. Additionally, the Imagination Playhouse will feature plays based on Dolly's Imagination Library, and the film "Heartsong: The Movie" will be remastered and relocated to enhance the park's offerings.

The resolution expresses gratitude to Dolly Parton and all past and present employees for their contributions to making Dollywood a beloved theme park that fosters family memories. It acknowledges the park's commitment to providing a welcoming environment and celebrates its impact on visitors and the pride it brings to Tennessee. The resolution concludes with a directive for an appropriate copy to be prepared for presentation.
