Step back into the Wild West at Ghost Town in the Sky. But be careful, you just might find yourself in the middle of of a gunfight. The family-fun theme park in Maggie Valley reopened in 2007 after a five-year closure. And it's better than ever. The chairlift takes you to the top of Buck Mountain, where the park is perched; the views are spectacular. Once there, the real adventure begins. Thrill seekers will certainly find the right dose of adrenaline riding the Cliff Hanger Rollercoaster (scheduled to open in 2008) and the Geronimo Drop Tower. There's a bevy of less intimidating rides, too. While strolling the streets of Ghost Town, make sure to stop by the Silver Dollar Saloon to enjoy live music and the classic Can-Can Dancers. But keep your eyes peeled for bank robbers. Ghost Town offers a fun experience for everyone in the family. Ghost Town opens for the season on Friday, May 15. Season Passes for 2009 are on sale now.
