Dancer, you are awesome. From seeing your Bohemian Grove AI video to this, a place I visited when I was a kid in the mid 2000s is awesome. Stay safe homie!
Man its so weird to see that place abandoned. I only went there once when i was a teenager back in the late 90s with my family. I really miss going to the Smoky Mountains, It's the most beautiful place ive ever been. I got a pic taken with some cowboy actors back then but sadly i don't have the picture anymore. Thank you for sharing your adventure there.
Literally the day you filmed this video it was snowand ice and below freezing temps in north Alabama and i slipped on the ice and fractured my l-1 vertebrae taking my pup out to potty. Never thought I would tie myself to a video but hey here i am. Im healing great though and able to walk once again. Great video man
Although hating the trespassing, I do appreciate how respectful you were. This was the first amusement park that I worked at. It was so much fun. I used to attend the church service every Sunday. It is heart breaking to see how the trespassers have destroyed such a beautiful place.
I went here as a kid twice, loved it and I plan to go here in the spring to take pics. Honestly anyone who tags abandoned places deserves to have their cars, homes, etc tagged up; The park looks in better ish shape than the last video makes me happy lol.
3:03 I rode that rollercoaster when I was a little kid. It was scary to me then as it went out over the edge of the cliff. They also had western gun fights in the street that was very convincing to my young mind. When I attended, I thought it was called GHOST CITY MOUNTAIN.
Hey Dancer, love your content! your words of wisdom on life, struggles, and adventures helps me out a lot and be more hopeful/stronger and braver like you! Stay warm and safe☺🤗💪
You're right, I'm originally from. FARRAGUT TN, a suburb of Knoxville, but I've been here as a kid and know exactly where it is...some pretty badass memories at this place with my family as a child
I was probably 10 when we went there around 1978. The place was very cool to me as a kid, and that was the first roller coaster I ever rode,and i remember it wrecked my nerves. We saw shootouts in the streets and loved riding the chairlift,although by today's standards, it was probably not up to code. It's a shame it's not still open for people to enjoy.
Generally speaking, i don't think this "Dancer" answers comments on this video. Now although this video hit RUclips i think in sometime January '24, the video itself seems to be well older, and i just have an odd feeling of maybe summer-ish '22. I was up in late october of '23 and when the foliage is down, its a hellofalot easier to make your way up the hill from the bottom. I noted evidence of deterioration when i was up there that isn't in this video, so i feel that it was shot before i was up there. As for the cameras, they were for use while the place was in operation. They aren't functional at present. There are no "security" cameras monitoring the top. Also he may have more video that wasn't posted. There's more to see up there than he showed. In this video tho, its very plain to see how the kudzu is taking over everything.
I parked at some strip mall looking antique store place to the west instead of leaving my car in the parking lot. Easy to to at zero dark thirty in the morning. And cameras? I never spotted any working cameras up top back then.
Sad how it closed the water line going up there failed and the old lady that ran the place could not afford to fix it up. It needed way to much work most all of the rides needed an overhaul. And she also could not afford security, so it was vandalized many times. What an awful area to think stupid kids would go up there and trash the place.
man I sure want to train hop the rockies but I would not want to do it alone for a first try and need someone with experience... someone like dancer. :D
I rode up that once upon a time 😅 cant believe its still standing! We were there once when some people got stuck on it too! They were up there for a long time! Glad it never happened when i rode it. That was also my first real Rollercoaster I ever rode too! They called it The red devil back then😂
Beautiful environment and good commentary. One thing I'm wondering though is what camera and mic setup do you use? As with some other people on RUclips, the audio quality is great, and with like no wind noise (yeah it was very calm on the day of this video, but even in other videos the audio is so good). Maybe newer GoPros can record sound so crisp and without much environmental noise, I don't know...
How did you not show the tower?!?! What dude?!! There's a whole area up top that you missed. Plus the houses off to the side literally had bullets and a blood stained mattress last time I was there. Plus you should've climbed the roller coaster! Damn man, this is weak sauce , does the spot no justice. Has NOT been looted either. The whole sound system is still in throughout the park there's like 45 speakers we counted
I first went to Ghost Town back in 1996 or 1997. My dad forced me to go and o really didn’t want to. About the only thing I remember well is the chair lift. When you climbed the chair lift tower and said those look like big cameras, I think you’re right. When I went they would take your picture on the way up the mountain and give you the option to buy a color photo at the top. Just thought I would add my 2 cents. Thanks for the video.
The road around back would be an easier walk. Lol. It would take a huge park owner to come in and get Ghost Town back up and running in good shape. The current owners can't agree on anything.
I went there a few times in the mid 90s when I was a kid. I am a little sad watching your video, but you are awesome for going up there and filming this.
I went there when i was a kid and i even still have a card from a super tall guy like 6'6 who worked there ill look him up to see what he did since i still have his card. They would have actors dressed as cowboys on the dirt road behind cover shooting at each other with cap guns 24:40 if i remember correctly they were behind barrels for cover
The park's biggest failure to re-open even after sales of the land, has been due to a Mudslide that occurred, as well as vandalism of buildings, and water pressure problems, in 2015 The park was going to re-open for the 2016 season, but that did not happen due to the amount of repairs to the coasters and rides, the park did not open and was offered for sale again. 2018 another attempt, the land was sold, investors however bailed on the project. 2019 a plan for the reopining for spring, but as of July 2019 the park was sold again...new investors and 2021 - owners planned to spend $200 Million to revitalize the park...COVID-19 came and well we know...2022 various lawsuits have been filed...July 28, 2023, a law suite was filed to determine the fate, ownership of the park was to be determined
Cool video, my mom and grandma took me here in the 90’s when I was a kid. Video is bringing back Great memories. It’s a shame it’s in that condition. Thanks for the video! What song is that at the end with your drone footage? It’s a smooth track!
One day you're gonna run into Bigfoot. That was the first thing on my mind when I saw the first shot with that trail and those electricty lines.. 😅 Love your content!

Went there many times as a kid.. sad to see it this way. The Red Devil coaster was awesome!
Thanks for making videos, they are very therapeutic!
I just went there yesterday planning to go there and explore more in a couple days
BROOO YOU ARE LITERALLY 45 MINUTES from my home. We own a restaurant In Spartanburg sc. the flounder fish camp. Come see us. I GOT YOU.

Amazing job on showing and telling about the ghost town in the sky
Love this place ❤ need to go back and make an actual video about it
You are literally right near where I am, Sevierville Tennessee. Your in the smoky mountains
You're right, I'm originally from. FARRAGUT TN, a suburb of Knoxville, but I've been here as a kid and know exactly where it is...some pretty badass memories at this place with my family as a child
Yo its cool to see you over here in the sticks ! A buddy and I were just talkin about goin back up to see how things were lookin .
Loved your video. Can not believe you climbed the coaster
I can assure you that place will never reopen. It would take millions of dollars to get it in good conditions to reopen.
it's never too late to start learning piano as long as you consistently practice and strive for improvement

Back in the early 90''s my mom use to run that place and the campground down the road.
What is your mom's name?
Love the drone shots
This. I'm liking the abandoned places exploration, more of that would be cool, but mixing it up like this is smart.
Still have a pic of me & my pop (rip) riding the chairlift there @

Where did you park that’s what I’m wondering. I also heard the cameras only work at the town at the top and no at the coaster

They used to give rides in that wagon wheel jawn in the room. Also, this place has been closed for 22 years.
That place is never reopening.
Good to see another upload, brother! Keep it real out there
Been there a few times in the 90s! My sister first roller coaster too.
man I sure want to train hop the rockies but I would not want to do it alone for a first try and need someone with experience... someone like dancer. :D

Bizarre it’s Like time forgot this place 😮. Love those old games too. Makes u wonder……
Killed it with the drone🌀
And tunes 🧲
Awesome video! I wonder if there was a small-scale train on the property or if that was just a fake RR crossing.....
I had my picture taken standing in that coffin in May 2008

I live in NC and went to Ghost Town when I was a kid
do you think today its still possible to get up there or there too many security and when is the best time to go?
As a kid, I remember seeing commercials advertising this place.
Back to back bangers
I used to go here as a kid fun times 😢
Maggie Valley, what a beautiful place ❤

You were trespassing & should have been arrested. You have no respect for other peoples property. You sound out of shape huffing & puffing.
