Ghost Town In the Sky

So happy they are open again. We had so much fun on the rides and the shows were good. I can’t wait to see what else they add. The views are awesome

Ghost town was probably a wonderful place in its day. It is run down now and on the day we went the ski lift was broken for 45 minutes. But the shows were fun and the views are great.

This is not a thrill ride amusement park! If you do not have a sense of humor, don’t go! The cost is only for the chairlift ride. What you do when you get to the top is up to you! This park is a throw back to when the westerns ruled the black and white tv screen. Yes, it needs work after years of neglect. But if you let yourself enjoy it for what it is, you will find yourself having fun! Take advantage of the cheesy photo ops! I bet no one else will have a family christmas card gathered around the olé pine box at diggers mortuary! Open your ears! I heard some of the most amazing music from local musicians. Open your eyes. Once the gun show was over, I saw grown men acting like kids plotting to explode the old mine on the west side of town. The only reason why I didn’t give this 5 stars is there is room to grow. I hope they knock down those crappy old rides. (But please done lose the shooting gallery!) I also hope they have more fun with the dining experience. What kid wouldn’t love hot dog and beans? For the grown ups some Texas BBQ. How about some root beer in glass mugs? This place has tons of potential. I hope to see it thrive soon!

Was looking forward to taking my 13 year old there. i grew up in the area and moved north. so I had not been to the park since I was his age. we emailed the park two weeks out and never heard back from them on some questions we had… we still planned the visit while In NC. We drove an hour n half to find a closed park. Nothing indicated on their website that the park was closed or had unusual hours of operation. Totally a joke and disappointment… and come to find out from another visiting family they had heard the park was only open on Fridays — Mondays… guess «daily admission» must mean something else.
Really hate to see this happen to fond memories I had and wanted to share with my son.

What a complete joke. Waited on line for tickets for a hour. One register. Did not know how to work the credit card machine. Finally got on line for the chair lifts. The men running it did not even stop the chair so my 5 year old son could get on. The result he fell out of the chair on to the pavement. Know that my son is scared to death. We make are way to the park. No rides are open, ¾ of the games are out of order. What did we see a gun fight. $ 75 bucks to go up a mountain. What a joke the rides looked like the ones in front of Kmart. I can’t believe this place can pass a inspection. Went back down and complained. At least I got my money back. This place needs to be upfront with people and let them know that nothing is open. The result a lot of disappointed kids a lot of people leaving after an hour. Even the people working in the park said they never should have opened.

I loved this place as a child, was excited it opened back up on July fourth. We went to check it out this past weekend, it’s not the same ghost town I remember. I hate that the had to cut. Road on the side of the mountain for some reason really ruins the ride up. The rides for the kids are old scroll ride but my three year old liked them. The western town looks great and the saloon show and gunfight brought back great memories. Just wished some of the park wasn’t ruined down.

Today my family and I went to Ghost Town for their zip lines. This review is a bit mixed.
The zip lines were in good shape and in and of themselves pretty well managed. All the equipment appeared quite safe and in a pretty good state of repair.
It was disheartening to pull up into the parking lot and still not be able to tell if they were even open. It really did feel like a ghost town. I had to hunt around for an open door to inquire if we had wasted our time even driving there.
The two gentlemen who were our guides today obviously were very comfortable with the whole process and knew there jobs well. They had a very jovial mood about them and made the whole thing fun. I would recommend, however, when you are talking about issues of safety — do not joke around — AT ALL. Also, as a matter of professionalism, get up from your desk and walk out to the customer to give them the safety brief. Don’t just sit behind your desk.
Finally, for 3 short zips $ 45 seems to be very steep. I would expect that price from a location were I could spend half the day on a wide variety of zip lines.
I found it fun, and it if were not over priced I would probably go back again.

While the rides aren’t amusement park quality, the entire attraction is definitely worth the entrance fee!

I love this place I went here when I was child and still have fond memory’s of it. It has changed owner ship a couple of times sense then. The last time we went the place hasn’t changed that much. This amusement park is like a set of a wild west show, you got your saloon on the town street. You might see a gun fight in the street or go see and wild west show. They have some rides, I kinda like the roller coaster as it goes off the mountain. And now that we are talking about rides you know the only way to the park is to ride the chair lift up. Yep it is the only way up the mountain, they have a old train that goes up but it is out of service. But they tell me they plan on restoring it and putting it back in service. But it is great little amusement park nestled in the Great Smoky Mountains.

Ghost Town in the Sky is so cool! Sad that it didn’t open in 2010 and is in bankruptcy presently. Also troubles with mudslide damage. I hope it is able to open in 2011. So much family fun there.

Very unique amusement park on the top of a beautiful North Carolina mountain. Just getting to the park is a fun adventure itself, you get there via chairlift, yep, you heard me, it’s the only way up and a great start to a terrific park experience. Most places you would pay $ 10 or more just for a chairlift ride so getting this as part of your ticket price is a real steal.
Now to the goodies, The featured roller coaster here that rolls out over the side of the mountain will really send you for a loop and the view is breathtaking, it gets up to around 40mph but when you’re upside down looking at the mountain below you’ll probably not even notice how fast it’s going. This park also has something usually overlooked at other places, the chair swings, this is where the real fun begins, just think about that for a second, you’re in a chair connected by steel chains swinging out hundreds of feet high in the air with nothing but trees and mountain below you, it’s a real rush and you’ll be grinning from ear to ear.
They also have a really cool shooting gallery filled with all kinds of animated objects and people (No not real people, mannequins, you bunch of weirdos). There are wild west shootouts in the streets and wild west shows throughout the day as well, I have always received excellent customer service when I visited here and I feel it has a lot to do with the pride the employees feel in their park, it truly is one of the last great THEME parks left in the country. One of the, if not THE most unique park I’ve ever been to and in a very beautiful natural setting too. The prices are really cheap for admission and this place is a whole lot of fun that you will never forget.

We wanted to go but there was an avalanche or something a few years ago, they need to fix it!

This is a pretty strange place. It is located a «mile high» in Maggie Valley, in the Smoky Mountains. There are Wild West shows as well as neon Cherokee Indian fancy-​dancing, and a few rides. The chair lift into the park is probably the coolest part.
