Abandoned Ghost Town in the Sky Theme Park

[@cnrayle]

To hear her voice instantly brought me to tears we miss Becca so much I’m so glad that you are still sharing her videos two years later #bwordliveson

[@abandonedcentral]

Still have a good amount of videos with her. Dropping another one in 2 weeks.

[@cookies-n-cream728]

What happened to her?

[@VegasSlotsVP]

Thank you! I went there as a child with my parents and best friend and her parents. We spent a few days in Gatlinburg then went to Ghost Town. It was a fun fun day. The amusement park was not there. There were 'gun' fights in the street, singing and dancing girls in the Red Dog Saloon. You could order any kind of drink ya wanted! ...and it was always served as coke or sprite. LOL. Thank you for the memory. I went there when I was around 8 or 10 and I am now 66. I had forgotten all about that very special trip!

[@ZacharyFaymonville]

Where is this at? I want too go there

[@billmanning1089]

I visited this place on a family vacation when I was about 9 years old (1981). Back then, they used to have "gunfights" every 2-3 hours in the street. Complete with stuntmen falling off 2nd story balcony when "shot".

[@carolinemcgill3806]

Thank you for making this video, I went here as a kid and now my sister is married and lives 10 minutes from it, it really hurts my heart to know and to think about the fact that a place so magical sits up there untouched and not enjoyed. I think I’d rather it had never existed than to know the abandoned memories that lie atop that mountain…

[@abandonedcentral]

Thanks for watching Caroline. Its good that you got to enjoy this place as a kid. Hopefully you have some fun memories from there!

[@ZacharyFaymonville]

Where is this amusement park I want to explore it?

[@BIGBEAR411]

My parents took my brother and I here in the late 60’s early 70’s the thing I remember the most is the gun fight they would stage up there! I am now 59 years young and remember it like it was yesterday. Thank you so much for reviving a GREAT memory!

[@abandonedcentral]

Must be some awesome memories you have of this place. Glad it brought you back to your past! Thanks for watching Barry!

It took a few of these videos for me to realize that this lady was the one who had passed that is mentioned at the end of your videos. Wow, she was amazing! RIP

[@abandonedcentral]

She really was amazing. Miss her so much everyday.

Seems like a place that you would have some fun childhood memories from.

Awesome job on the video! Such an amazing place to explore. Great tribute to Becca RIP she will always be missed 🙏

Thanks brotha! She really loved this place. Hope all is well with you.

[@tonyatuttle-eastman5794]

Ghost Town was amazing..I've been many times..1st time I was a little kid and we went with our parents a lot and when I had children I took mine..but I fear my own children will never get that chance with their own children..this is a magical place that holds lots of memories..please come back..

[@vincegay986]

Ghost Town in the Sky, in the Great Smoky Mountains of western North Carolina, not far from Asheville; Gatlinburg, TN; or Atlanta. There was also a Cherokee passion play performed not far from this park. Visited in the early 70’s. There were rides and shops and restaurants. The Red Dog had live shows throughout the day and evening. There were shoot-outs in the street throughout the day. You could pose for old western photos or have your name inserted into the headline on an old western newspaper. I seem to remember a house that “defied gravity”. And I didn’t imagine it: that rollercoaster track really did extend out over the bluff that towered several hundred feet (or so it seemed) over the floor of the Maggie Valley! Terrifying fun!

[@RAIDERPATTON71]

Thank You for making this video. I've not been up there since I left in 1995 I worked up there from 92-93 as a ride operator the geronimo drop used to be a ride called the round up. The dream catcher was actually called the parachute the pirate ship used to be the centerpiece for the top part of the park , the Red Devil was what got you first. It's so sadd the shape that it has fallen into. There is so much of the park had been renamed. The kiddie coaster was brutal if you want my opinion, but the kids loved it. They had swings & a tilt a whirl the scrambler was actually in the building next to the red devil it was cool black lights and rock music. Gosh thanks for taking me back to a cool time in my life. My condolences to Rebecca Buntings family & friends may you rest In Peace Thank you for risking going to jail for a look back at a place that ment alot to me and alot of other folks that may have worked up on the mountain or visited at one point. Great video

[@abandonedcentral]

We really appreciate the support Billy. Thanks for watching our video. The views were incredible up there. It was one of Becca's favorite locations she ever explored 😔

[@musicman257]

I've been there as a kid about 3 times been to the banquet room wish you could of seen it when it was alive and been to the Red dog salon it was a fun place as a kid would love to get up there and explore have so many memories of this place thanks for sharing sorry to here she passed

[@abandonedcentral]

[@RnKAllDay]

I donated half a joint after I blazed that chapel out. Vid was 🔥

[@abandonedcentral]

Hahha awesome! Hope you're doing well my dude.

[@noahlevreau3061]

That place is awesome. I grew up in that town, I've even been there when it was open. I've been there a couple times now in the past year and it just gets destroyed more and more by vandals. All the windows are broken and the roofs are caving in. Its a shame what people have done to the place. The local authorities have really cracked down on trespassers, if you get caught it can be a felony.

[@abandonedcentral]

Its really sad how much things have got destroyed here. Back in 2018 when we shot this it was still in pretty good shape. A lot of the buildings were still locked. Glad we got to visit it before all the destruction. Thanks for watching our video Noah!

Instantly started bawling when I heard her voice. Wish I would have had the chance to meet her but I'm so glad to see how she's still living on through the content. I've seen the bword stickers posted around some of Houston and it makes me smile cuz I know it just means her memory is living on everywhere all over the world. #bwordliveson

[@abandonedcentral]

Yea, this was a really hard video to edit for me. Its amazing when I see her stickers still being put up all over. Thanks for the support, it means alot!

[@dougsworldtour3755]

Cool tour guys, glad to see any amusement venue!

[@matthewdavis3477]

I went there as a kid. That was the first roller coaster I ever rode. Cowboys “actors” would just break out into big gun fights in the streets. I remember being scared to death riding the chair lift up to the town. Rode in the back of my grandpas truck in the camper shell with my brother and a few more kids all the way from north east Ga. That’s been 30+ yrs ago.

[@abandonedcentral]

Nice trip down memory lane! This place looked like it used to be a lot of fun in its prime.

[@mikefitchNYC1971]

[@jasoncessna2522]

You guys take the music out of this you have the start of a very nice horror film! Almost Blairwitch project like?

[@tonylashmit2613]

Great videography! You mentioned that it looked like a movie set. Well there was a movie called "Dean Teaster's GHOST TOWN " released in 2007. The Teaster name is synonymous with Ghost Town but not sure exactly how? I have a DVD of it matter of fact, plus an original GHOST TOWN IN THE SKY pamphlet from when I was a kid.

[@jeremysaunders9016]

I just found out this place closed. It's haunting seeing that place abandoned. I rode on that coaster when I was 12. Bought a fake snake at the giftshop 2 put n my sisters bed. It was a cobra!

[@mariemills-g7q]

this looks like a scene/location of an apocalyptic movie. its sad its abandoned tho :(

[@mord2936]

Great video, wish it was longer but the photos at the end made up for it. Also made the pic at 10:21 my pc background.

There have been other KZbinrs to go to Ghost Town. How did you get permission to go in and video it? Great day for the spooky aspect, I always wanted to go but by the time we could go it was closed. The roller coaster is enough to scare ya and it isn't even moving. Really great video, thanks.

[@abandonedcentral]

Thanks for your feedback Nana. There is no way to get permission, you just gotta send it :)

[@keepiturban]

@Abandoned Central did you make the hike up the mountain or drive up the back way? I'm dying to check this place out, but trying to game plan how to get to the top before making the road trip. Any advice you may be able to offer is appreciated fellow adventures! :-)

[@caratapken3811]

​@Ashley Lewis I almost went up the back way yesterday...was unsure if the smile your on candid camera sign was actually recording if you entered.

its been along time I love it their I still go there every summer I would love to no how y'all got in I would like to walk threw there

[@ZachsMind]

3:50 "They live inside my eyes." I can't google where it originated. There's a poem by Ellie Chavez that pops up, but mostly Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" which I doubt inspired whoever had this red felt marker to write on this sign. There are many ways to interpret this. When looking around at an abandoned place, you may imagine seeing people walking the lanes or riding the attractions. Laughing. Loving. Enjoying their day. Those aren't memories, unless we happened to visit this place back when it was open vibrant and alive. We fabricate these mental images as we look about an abandoned place. Those people aren't real, and yet they live inside our eyes.

[@MM-bd3ph]

I have been there bick in the day so so sad form Somerset ky

[@RangerRickTV]

I tried going here and got caught, ill try again later. Btw I'm new here, what happen to that Rebbecca lady?

[@neferazure]

Google her screen name "_bword" and maybe the name "Rebecca" with it, and you'll find out all you need to know. That could be your starting point. There are news articles and all which detail what happened to her. I don't think the people behind this channel wish to relive such trauma or to keep going into details about it, as you may understand, so I humbly suggest using Google to get your answers. I was able to find answers when doing so. Good luck.

[@relicman]

Is there a way to get in touch with the owner? Ive filmed this place but just the bottom part. I come here once a year. Great video!

[@devman8youtube908]

They said they were gonna open the park this month aka June, also I know because they put the chairs back on the chairlift, I think they were off for lift maintenance or just because of the park sitting there as an eyesore on the top of a mountain.

[@abandonedcentral]

It was bought i believe last year by Disney so they are probably reopening the park soon.

[@yolandamccrary7205]

I feel like there's some unspoken backstory here. Like, too many things just kept going wrong surrounding it's opening and operations. There's no way this is a coincidence. What are the locals saying? 🤔

I guess since they have passed on I feel like its something I need to do.. sounds silly... But its just one of those things ❤️❤️
