For a unique theme park adventure, families should head to Ghost Town in the Sky, a Wild West-themed town at the top of the Great Smoky Mountains. Featuring forty replica buildings, the ghost town includes a schoolhouse, a jail, two saloons, and a church at the peak of the mountain. Guests will enjoy breathtaking views as the Incline Railway ferries them 3370 feet up Buck Mountain to the town's entrance, where they'll find some great rides, including the Chance Gunfighter Yo-Yo Swing and The Cliffhanger Roller Coaster, which offers a thrilling ride around the mountain peak.
Like any good western town, Ghost Town in the Sky offers bank robberies and gunfights, live music and can-can girls in the saloons, and Cherokee Indian dancers and musicians. At Heritage Town Square, guests can learn about the history of the Wild Western North Carolina, dig for gold in a replica mining town, and shop for authentic crafts and Ghost Town souvenirs.
