Tennessee announced Friday it would lift capacity restrictions on restaurants and shops as it moves to focus on reopening larger attractions such as amusement parks, water parks and theaters starting next week.

Tennessee's Economic Recovery Group said 89 out of 95 counties in the state could lift capacity restrictions on businesses, adding that the next reopening phase begins May 22 for reopening larger noncontact attractions, according to Nashville, Tenn., NBC affiliate WSMV.

Included in the next phase of reopening are race tracks and auditoriums as well as recreational parks and large museums, although restrictions on gatherings of more than 10 people will remain in place for now.

"We're able to allow restaurants and retail businesses to operate at greater capacity and large attractions to open in a safe and thoughtful way," Gov. Bill Lee (R) said in a statement Friday.

A spokesperson for Dollywood told local media Friday that the theme park was working on plans to reopen as the state relaxes its restrictions on large attractions.

That feels a hair early to me - but go for it!

I’ve seen the reopening videos for Universal’s City walk and, frankly, I’ll wait til its actually fun instead of having to wear a mask throughout, practice social distancing and get temp scanned.

Yep, and in the background have somebody dressed as Clinton acting as the carnival “Guess Your Weight, Win A Prize” (women only) guy.
