Dust off your ruby slippers – North Carolina’s abandoned Wizard of Oz theme park is opening once again this summer.
One of the original founders died of cancer before the park was even open. In 1975, a fire ravaged the park’s Emerald City area and museum, destroying Judy Garland’s original gingham dress from the movie. By 1980, the Land of Oz was closed to the public.
