When you first get into Cherokee, on the right, before the casino, once stood an amusement park, called Frontier Land. It had a log fort, rides, maybe a train. I went there in the 60s, so my memory isn't real clear, but as a kid, I loved it and was disappointed when it closed down.
Aw man that’s my childhood right there. Use to visit Ghost Town and Cherokee all the time growing up!! Been up that observation tower many times. I took my daughter on her first visit to Santa’s Land in 2019 and had so much fun. We rode the Rudicoaster over and over. I love that place because it hasn’t changed one bit in decades but they keep it clean and well maintained for it to be so old. The Cherokee museum is very good and worth a visit. And don’t forget to experience Unto These Hills !!
I remember going to Ghost Town In the Sky as a kid. I am now 72 and still have pictures with my Daddy and Mama. Cherish these memories. Life goes so fast❤️❤️ Need to check out Tweetsie Railroad ❤️❤️
The popularity of “old west” waned and they never revamped. I feel like if it would’ve re-imagined itself it would still be there. I do have fond memories of my 2 trips there though.
My now 39 year old son and I used to drive up to Maggie Valley and Cherokee many times 30+ plus years ago when Cherokee was still open. I know it closed in 2002. I haven't been in that area for awhile now but I do have lots of good memories of thise places. There were always lots of people driving in either direction on 19 back in those days.
I'm enjoying the video. My daughter and I used to go to the Smokies every year and I've seen all the places that you are showing. She passed away in 2021 and this is first time I've been able to watch anything that shows the mountains.🌻
Great video, but have correct you on one thing it’s not “happy Memorial Day “, it’s a day we honor are war died nothing happy about that , best say honor are those who gave all from one vet “”
Jay when me and my brother and two sisters were kids back in the 60s, we went several times to Cherokee with our grand parents. We always stayed at the Qualla Motel just outside the main town of Cherokee. That's where my Papa always wanted to stay. Cherokee has changed a lot since those days. The chairlift used to be in operation and my brother and I rode it once to the top and back down. There used to be an area near the river by those two foot bridges that you walk across to the shops that had pony rides for kids. The stores there in town had a magical feel to them back then, as opposed to how they are today. I remember all of those old abandoned motels being open back then and thriving. There used to be a very nostalgic restaurant on the left as you head towards hwy 19 towards Maggie Valley that was a great place to eat. I don't know what the building is used for today. I also remember on the same location where the casino is today, used to be another old cowboy town amusement park called Frontierland. But sadly it closed down a long time ago and the casino was built. We also went to Santa's Land at least once if not twice. I don't think the Rudy coaster was even there during the 60s when we went there. Unless I just don't remember it. I remember there not being very much to do there at all back then. We never got to go to Ghost Town In The Sky back then. But I have seen the front of it just like you videoed for us. I guess these days I am more of a Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge person than a Cherokee person. I guess because I remember Cherokee when it was in its' heyday and there was so much more to see and do there than today.
Heard about ghost town all my life, finally visited there in 99 with my wife and kids, best time ever , most fun I ever had at a theme park. We spent the night at a Best Westren just accross the way from the park. Best memory ever.
Adam the Woo has been up there as well. He did in one of his earlier videos 12 years ago. Yeah Ghost Town in the Sky has a very strange history. Jacob has a done a great job covering the history of the park.
We went to the Ghost Town Village when I was a teenager (Circa 1983) but my step mom took one look at the funicular and wasn’t having it; so all I saw was the parking lot. The lift was broken, not that she would have ridden that either. It’s one of those places that’s remained on the back roads of my mind. Glad there’re remnants that still stand.
It's fun watching you explore a place that I know like the back of my hand. I lived in NC for 41 years and have spent a lot of time in the western end of the state. Maggie Valley was where the state's first ski resort (Cataloochee) was, and I can remember when it was open.
I don’t blame Cris for getting annoyed with the Gatlinburg traffic because this is usually like the busiest time but those back roads make me nauseous and I don’t know how you guys can handle it 😂 but I do find Maggie Valley Interesting especially the Ghost Town in the sky. I’m pretty sure I went by there as a kid but I never went in it.
Man TJ. You're cruising along. Give or take 5 days and you're at 100k subs. I sure do like the Tennessee and N,Carolina area you're at. Nice out there. Today we remember those that gave all. Man I live that ghost town
Tampa Jay, congrats on your way to 100K ! As a long time viewer, Soo nice to see your success. Everyone hit the like button and push Jay over the top. 👍
If I may suggest Peter Santenello recently did a fantastic video in Cherokee. Because of the casino and owning the Buc-ee’s in Sevierville, the Eastern Band of Cherokee would not need to keep other businesses afloat since they get a 6 month stipend from the profits. Thanks for the video. Very beautiful there. We attended a convention last week at the casino.
My parents took us to ghost town all the time on vacations when I was a kid. And I took my kids when they were young before it shut down. It was an awesome park!
Back in the 90's I stayed at one of the Maggie Valley inns. I don't remember which one but I remember sitting outside the room, in a rocking chair, watching the lights twinkle up on the mountains. It took us a minute to figure out they were probably houses and the leaves on the trees moving made it seem like they were twinkling. Such a simple thing but I still remember it all these years later. I also remember the reservation was a bit depressing so it's nice to see things have improved there. Wonderful trip down memory lane for me. Thank you!
I think I have seen you on Adam's channel. A couple of years ago I actually went up to the top of Ghost Town. It was sad how people had busted out the windows in the buildings. I wouldn't recommend anyone doing what I did. I would never damage property, but I'm fascinated with abandoned areas. I'm obsessed with abandoned places. I'm from NC and live a few hours away. Thanks for visiting. By the way Mtn. Mike once had an Ewok carved, but I was afraid to buy it out it in my yard because someone stole my cement alien!
This is an amazing vlog mate they need to think of reopening some of them attractions especially the Halloween style that wouldn’t cost that much money the theme park would cost a lot to do up but still a great one to watch I can’t wait for all your Halloween scare fest to come back I’m actually going to a few in liverpool uk and around our country this year
@@TampaJay you could actually make a couple of really gory Halloween attractions out of the abandoned motels right along I have ideas I live in uk with not enough money to design and create these attractions
You're in my neck of the woods as we say. Born and raised in nearby Franklin NC, which is equally beautiful if not more. I was just there last week visiting my family. Haven't been to Ghost Town since I was a kid back in the late 70s. Spent my whole life going to Cherokee. Nice job showing a slice of WNC❤
That was the old motel called princess motel,Sam Beck used to own and run it,I spent alot of time at that motel growing up it's some of my favorite memories,we used to help him cook at the old sequoia restaurant in downtown he used to run,I would sit at the creek and shuck corn and sting and break up beans for him to take to his restaurant, lots of good memories,the big chief motel and gift shop used to be across the road from the princess motel
I do not know who owns Ghost Town now. There was a lady my Parents knew, named Ms. Alaska Pressley, who just a few years ago, tried to bring Ghost Town back. There were rumors in the valley as to the reasons she was unsuccessful, but I really don't know what happened.
Thank you for the relaxing video. My children have stayed in hotels in that area. Not only is this a beautiful stretch of road, but so much to see. Have fun and stay safe Tampa Jay. ❤🙏
Hello Jay! just came across your channel! I was excited to see Ghost Town. Im 59, went there as a kid.. It was called Ghost Town in the Sky! I have pictures of being there with my parents. I have a picture of John Russell (the western actor holding me there) I cherish it! It was just neatest place once you got on the mountain. I really thought I was in the wild west. I remember the gun fights. Then it closed down for a long time then for a brief time it opened in the 90s after I had my children and I took them too!!! Great Memories!!!!!
Had a chair lift to get to top and the trolly. I see the cables are still they not call buckets. Actually bench seat with a safety bar. I went couple times in the 80s.Still got picture had took with my daughter and son. Were dressed western style. So young back then. Shame it is closed because of probably greed by one or two people.Brings back a lot of memories. Shame you so boring and silly.
I feel like with Dollywood & the PF attractions you have now, the Old West just isn’t enticing to people now, just not enough of exciting things to attract people. I went there with my family around age 8 probably, and at the time it was good, but that was a time when you didn’t have all the development of PF and Gatlinburg. It’s a shame it’s rotting away, they need to just bulldoze it all down.
Hint:If it says No Vacancy, it probably is not true. They will try to jack up the price a few bucks. Some will stay same price. Depends. This is a fact 🥰
Been through Cherokee many times heading from Georgia to Gatlinburg area. Love the Cherokee! It’s beautiful during Christmas. The museum is awesome! Have you ever gone through Cades Cove?
I am so loving your videos. You are playing my whole childhood in this one. The roadside places usually sold about the same thing, jams, jellies, blankets, pottery and sometimes dishes. But my favorite were the ones selling apples. We would go in the fall and the smell of the apples would drive you to stop and buy some. The best time to go is after Labor Day, they say the only ones there are newlyweds and nearly deads😂
Jay, you’re a nice guy it seems, but why didn’t you check when these places opened before you headed out? Why not go out for breakfast, drink a couple cups of coffee, and take care of Mother Nature and that would have filled in the time gap.
Next time you're in the Smokies you really need to go to Bryson and ride the steam locomotive. It's a beautiful ride and the best seats are in the very back. Scenery like you won't find most anywhere.
Im from Tampa, lived in Boone... and I had been to Ghost Town In The Sky when it was open.. up top they had a Rollercoaster that hung off the mountian.. I think it had only ran once due to safety.
hey man great vid. i live in clermont , fl but maggie valley is my 2nd home and where all my family is from. our house is right directly below that observation tower u were on.and the hotel you were at by the old gas station and fish ponds was my grandfathers. i use to work at the fish pond below the hotel and gas station. . anyways i fly freestyle fpv drones and i wanna get access to ghost town. i grew up going there as a kid when it was open. anyway next time i go up there i wanna go fly there. did you access it by walking up mountain where chair lifts are or did you go thru the back access road?. im trying to find the best way to get in there. any help would be greatly appreciated. cheers!
Thanks for the video! You stated that an antique shop had a Ghost Town chairlift bench, do you know which shop it was? I cant find the name of the place you stated. Thanks again for sharing!
This was a awesome video. so many memories flood back from when it was all still an active area.❤ I rode that roller coaster at Santa’s land 6 times in a row with my older sibling. It was a very slow day there and we where there early. the operator just let us keep ridding it over and over again. 😂
my granny use to take me to chreekee all the time when i was little still have pictures of us and to tweetie railroad to i remmber the indains jumping on the train and the vowboys shooting them
Me and my parents went to ghost town all the time, i remember one time that me and my dad was riding chair lift and I lost a shoe about half way up, i never saw that shoe again, it might still be there some place, they used to have horses you could ride up to the top, me and my dad did that couple of times.
Thank you for watching! instagram.com/tampajay
Check out the wild Elk herd in Cherokee.They come out most evening esp in the fall.

R. B. Coburn owned it also.
I barely remember it as a little kid, but what I remember was fun. Miss places like Frontierland and Ghost Town.
@@dcpoolsvc R.B. Coburn owned both parks.
I am 71 years old, I remember going to Ghost Town in the Sky as a kid.
What a beautiful place. This is the America I want to see. I loved your last smokey mountains vlog, so I'm glad you're doing more. Great work, Jay!
I used to go to Ghost Town back in the early to mid 1960's. It was fun to do as a kid.
Maggie Valley is a hidden gem man. Great video! 👍
Thank you
🤙Jay, you're full of surprises. Used to work for the fire department? Cool! 🚒
I have a book with barns that have road signs for Rock City. You can see 4 states at one time.

Hey Jay, you're actually in The Carpetbagger 's home town area but....he's not home right now....he's in Baton Rogue. 😂

Viewpoint!!! Enjoy your videos from central Fl.
Agree! It’s gotta be Viewpoint.
The Ghost Town Village is such an awesome concept. I can’t believe something like that can’t make it there. That place should be packed.🤙🏻
People are just to lazy today for this kind of thing

We loved that place. So much better than Tweetsie
They were working on fixing it back up a few years ago but funding ran out
“Is this Heaven?”
It sure looked like it! Just made my Memorial Day 100x better!
I'm enjoying the video. My daughter and I used to go to the Smokies every year and I've seen all the places that you are showing. She passed away in 2021 and this is first time I've been able to watch anything that shows the mountains.🌻
So sorry for your loss❤

Breaking out the EMF meter. Being a Ghost Hunter, this made me very happy!! I did like the rest of the video though👻
The security guard owned it.He died about a month ago... He was in the movie...deliverance. His line was you sure do have a pretty mouth.....lol..

You're the man my dude. Im a Baltimore fan we play you guys the 31st should be a good game.
There are “No Tresspassing” signs everywhere on the Ghost Town property. It is very clear that no one is to be there.
I don’t think it’s cool - I think it’s so sad - I remember going as a kid there - it was lots of fun -
I don’t blame Cris for getting annoyed with the Gatlinburg traffic because this is usually like the busiest time but those back roads make me nauseous and I don’t know how you guys can handle it 😂 but I do find Maggie Valley Interesting especially the Ghost Town in the sky.

I loved this video! Love seeing abandoned places like that and touristy stuff! Thanks for sharing!! ❤️
Yeah, I think I stayed in that abandoned hotel by the river in Cherokee back in the late 1980s. I remember walking the strip looking in the stores
Your videos always brighten my day, Jay ❤
That makes my day to hear ! Thank you appreciate you
Hey Jay that old store used to read View Point 💯🤘🏼
Thank you ! That’s awesome makes sense

Pretty sure that place with the missing letters is... VIEW POINT ?
That’s got to be it
Great video, my friend! I've never been to Cherokee or Santaland. Beautiful country, beautiful mountains!
Hugs 🤗 and God's blessings 🙌
Very beautiful! Thank you for sharing your adventure. I appreciate your view of different places. Nothing better than a moonpie!
I do not know who owns Ghost Town now. There was a lady my Parents knew, named Ms. Alaska Pressley, who just a few years ago, tried to bring Ghost Town back. There were rumors in the valley as to the reasons she was unsuccessful, but I really don't know what happened.

I think the word "bunk" (from Buncombe) was coined from his name because he was "full of it" when it came to promoting his county.
The Hillybilly carving at 2:30 is actually Popcorn Sutton, a famous Moonshiner of the area!
Fantastic video man! Ghost Town in the Sky is pretty cool. Also the restaurant im guessing was Viewpoint? Keep up the great work!
Been through Cherokee many times heading from Georgia to Gatlinburg area. Love the Cherokee! It’s beautiful during Christmas. The museum is awesome! Have you ever gone through Cades Cove?
I am so loving your videos. You are playing my whole childhood in this one. The roadside places usually sold about the same thing, jams, jellies, blankets, pottery and sometimes dishes.

Ya'll had fun up in er mountains? I love to hear the stream. Love to see the mountains. Another world! Thanks for the videos.
I lived in Buncombe County, I’ve visited Cherokee many times. You must see the Indian drama, “Unto These Hills.”
Jay, you’re a nice guy it seems, but why didn’t you check when these places opened before you headed out? Why not go out for breakfast, drink a couple cups of coffee, and take care of Mother Nature and that would have filled in the time gap.
I didn't know Big Foot had six pack abs. I love the mountains of N.C.
The name on the restaurant was view point.. I spent most of my childhood going to ghost town. We loved it.
Thank you! I came to the comments just to find this answer.
Thank you! I came to the comments just for this answer.
Cherokee is great, we did some gem mining there. Got a bagful of nice stuff. Sure is a nice change from Florida at times.
Next time you're in the Smokies you really need to go to Bryson and ride the steam locomotive. It's a beautiful ride and the best seats are in the very back. Scenery like you won't find most anywhere.

Did you ever think that you'll collide at an attraction with Woo and Jacob and become Super Woo Jay the Carpetbagger?
Love your videos. I just found them. Have you been to Inverness Florida . Court house is where they filmed Elivis movie.
Thanks for the video! You stated that an antique shop had a Ghost Town chairlift bench, do you know which shop it was? I cant find the name of the place you stated. Thanks again for sharing!
Every one
Was heartbroken 😢when all of
Wonderful places closed down but they was nothing no body
Could do but cry 😢
This was a awesome video. so many memories flood back from when it was all still an active area.❤ I rode that roller coaster at Santa’s land 6 times in a row with my older sibling. It was a very slow day there and we where there early. the operator just let us keep ridding it over and over again. 😂
I was thinking that looked like something from dumb and dumber and you said Rocky Mountains so another part of the vlog made me happy
Being from E. Tennessee I've been to Ghost Town in the sky numerous times. Wasn't terrible but not great either. Beautiful scenery in that region 😕
my second wife and my self stopped and bought stuff at that old delapadated place and bought some stuff there about 36 years ago
Again I feel like I know that area because of Jacob the Carpetbagger.
This brought back so many memories. We had a blast there when we were kids. Now, I need to go back!
The sign on top of restaurant in Maggie Valley,N.C.i believe used say View Point.
vittles is good eats.I first went to ghost town and cherokee in 1976.The casino ruined the cherokee people and their land.
my granny use to take me to chreekee all the time when i was little still have pictures of us and to tweetie railroad to i remmber the indains jumping on the train and the vowboys shooting them
Me and my parents went to ghost town all the time, i remember one time that me and my dad was riding chair lift and I lost a shoe about half way up, i never saw that shoe again, it might still be there some place, they used to have horses you could ride up to the top, me and my dad did that couple of times.
Tampa Jay, you guys ever find people living in those abandoned places? 36:34
🦋☠️💖Is there a Smoky Mountain move in Jay and Cris' future? 🤔
Can’t wait for the next one!!! You’re awesome!!! Thanks 😊😊😊
I've been to Ghost Town many times as a kid. I lived for the gunfights.
Seeing these old motels is insane to me, like imagine having been someone who stayed at one of these places and now seeing what they look like now.
Ghost Town and Six Gun had some of the same owners. Some of the performers worked at both parks different times of the year.
I'm 64 my dad took me to ghost town in the sky. Still have black and Polaroid s of it. Thanks
Thanks Jay :) I really enjoy all of the roadside attractions and the abandoned ones as well. The Cherokee stuff at the end was also interesting...
Something I'm wondering is if the roller coaster is still up on that ghost Mountain
Im from Charlotte NC we took our kids to Gost Town when they were little had lots of fun sadens me that it closed!
Found by fluke, love the vid and love your style! New sub! 😊
Welcome to NC Jay!
Another great episode.
Where did they get the Central Freight Lines sign? They did not get into this area and closed within the last 5 years.
