My parents took me and my brother there every year when we were kids. We made lots of good memories there. It's a shame to see it deteriorate like this. I wouldn't trade my childhood memories for anything. We grew up in a different world. Thanks for all you do. We can travel around the world thanks to people like you and your friends.

Hi Lesley, Jeremy, & Mureno....😉 The Abandoned Ghost Town Amusement Park In North Carolina, Was Amazing!! Wow, this place was Bought May 1961 from R.B. Coburn who Paid $1 Million Dollars!!

New Owner was Alaska Presley 2010 until she had Financial Problems & Closed it 2012!! Ghost Town was Renamed To Ghost Town Village, But Permanently Closed!! @34.03 that was called a BlackSmith Shop!! @38.08 the Ceiling Fans hung droopy because of the Heat!! @38.43 the Doors were called Saloon Doors!! Thanks Jeremy😍 for Taking Lesley & Mureno out there!! Have a Safe Trip Home or Next Journey!!😎 Have a Wonderful Evening!!❤ Love Barb from Central Illinois USA❣

It was definitely open for one summer in 2008 because I went there multiple times that summer. The roller coaster was closed at that time though everything else was open, the gun shows, gift shops, and the novelty areas. I knew a gunfighter who worked there he had many stories! There also was a movie filmed there back in 2006-2007 also.

I'm quite far behind on videos and was really surprised to see that you went to Ghost Town in the Sky. This is where, at 7-years-old, I developed my fear of heights. I was so tiny and there was so little safety considered at that time (70s) that I slid from the chair lift and my mom had to grab me so hard my shoe fell off. I'll never forget watching it go out of sight before it even hit the ground, it was that high up. As soon as we got off the lift I fainted and haven't been able to handle any more than two feet off the ground since. Loved the rest of the park though! :)

Hey dear Lesley, that was again such an interesting and amazing explore! I loved watching. A really very imaginative amusement park with quite a big range of different attractions! - The horror house was really creepy. I also loved to see that nice recreation of a western town. There the highlights were certainly the church and the big decorative hall with the beautiful richly curtained and lavishly draped stage and the upright pianos and the chandeliers. Beautiful! - Also the former roller coaster was quite impressive. What a fascinating explore you were doing, when you and Maureno were still together exploring in the USA! Wishing you all the best, peace and kindest regards from Switzerland. - Stay safe and stay cool, bro!

We would drive thru Maggie Valley 2x a year on our way from Ohio to GA to visit my grandparents. I went twice as a kid. That roller coaster was the first one my daughter ever rode. She was 4-5 at the time. It awakened her love of coasters and she still loves them at 35. So many memories in this place. I've always hoped that they would actually fix and reopen it. I'm not holding my breath, tho.

@Bros of Decay Ok the Horror house must have been a seasonal thing. (If you notice the color is not faded like the rest of the park.) It was Not part of the Original Ghost Town. There was never anything scary in the original. (Maybe the gun fights for younger children) My family visited many many times. I only have fond memories of going to Ghost Town in the Sky. Sad to see what it is today. Also there was an incline train that you could take up and down the mountain not just the chair lift. Love watching your video. Weird to see some place that I actually know where it is and have been to. Thank you for visiting Ghost Town in the Sky. Side note it is a mile high.

I never got to go there during my childhood while it was open. My dad visited it 5 years before I was born. I have watched the nearly 2 hours long video from Explomo where you do more details of a tour. Sadly since you did your videos criminals have put graffiti on the stage of the silver dollar saloon and in other places all over the park and have damaged the buildings really bad. I wish someone would come along and clean up the place because I think the owners could make money giving guided tours of the place and telling it's history.
