Fun Facts

Opened in 1961, Ghost Town Village was a popular attraction that recreated an Old West town complete with gunfights and saloons.

The park is situated on Buck Mountain, offering stunning views of the surrounding Smoky Mountains.

Visitors used to reach the park via a 3,370-foot-long chairlift, one of the longest in the Southeast.

The park has faced financial difficulties and ownership changes, leading to several closures and attempts at revival.

The Red Devil was a steel roller coaster that was a major attraction until the park's closure.
