Ghost Town In The Sky is a family-fun theme park that features
staged gunfights, theme park rides,
 live music and shows, crafts and
food. Located on a mountaintop in Maggie Valley. An unusual aspect
of this park is that it is located atop a mountain which can only be
accessed by visitors via a 3370' long chair lift or an inclined
railway. The highest elevation in the park is 4650 feet above sea
level.
The park is divided into several "towns", which are located
at different elevations of the mountain, each of which has a
slightly different theme. Among these are the
"Indian Village", "Mountain Town", and "Mining Town". The heart of
the park is the re-created old Western town complete with a two
saloons, a schoolhouse, bank, jail, and church, and various other
businesses
typical of the day. Each hour, a gunfight is staged right in the
street, with visitors lining up on the board sidewalks to watch the
action. In the "Silver Dollar Saloon" there are hourly shows
featuring old west can-can dancers, while the "Red Dog Saloon"
features live country & bluegrass music performances throughout the
day.
