Ghost Town in the Sky, Western theme park in Maggie Valley, United States

Ghost Town in the Sky is an abandoned Wild West-themed amusement park atop Buck Mountain in Maggie Valley, North Carolina. Its main street is lined with wooden replica buildings, including a dark brown general store with a covered walkway and a two-story structure with a balcony. A red-roofed building marked "SR" stands at the far end, and a sign reading "GHOST Town IN THE SKY" marks the entrance.

Entrepreneur R.B. Coburn opened this mountain park in 1961 as a tourist attraction for the region. Several closures and reopenings marked the following decades before operations stopped permanently.

Visitors often wore cowboy hats and posed in front of saloons and sheriff buildings for photos. Performers in period costumes also embodied the American frontier image and invited spontaneous conversations.

The main street with shops and arcades sits on the upper level, while the roller coaster and Indian village sit further along the slope. Visitors exploring the site should wear sturdy footwear, as paths can be uneven and bridge elevation changes.

The Red Devil coaster, built by R.B. Coburn in 1986, was a separate ride from the Cliffhanger, which stood at Heritage Town Square near the chairlift terminus. The park's rides, including the Red Devil, Goldrusher and Silver Bullet, often broke down and rarely opened in its final years.
