The Land of Oz theme park opened in 1970 and was a huge success

Similar to Harry Potter for Universal or Star Wars for Disney ...

It was inspired by the beautiful North Carolina scenery

But in 1975, the Emerald City amphitheater was set on fire

And many of the park's costumes and relics were stolen

The theme park never fully recovered and closed in 1980

An employee reunion reignited interest in the park

And now, you can visit the once-lost park on select dates!
