Ghost Town in the Sky
Maggie Valley (near Asheville)
(800) GHOSTOWN
Since the park is lovated on top of a mountain, getting there--via incline railroad or chairlift--is half the fun. It is a replica Old West town with gunfights, panning for gold, kiddie rides, a roller coaster, and other attractions

Gold City Amusement Park
Franklin (in the Smoky Mountains)
(800) 713-7767
Mine your own gemstones and ride the chairlift to the top of Cowee Mountain.

Paramount's Carowinds
Charlotte

Great steel and wood coasters including the most excellent Hurler (inspired by Wayne's World) and the inverted Top Gun Jet Coaster. Look out below the Nickelodeon Flying Super Saturator: the riders on this coaster can drop water bombs on guests. WaterWorks waterpark included with admission.

Santa's Land
Cherokee
(828) 497-9191

3-mile steam train ride. The park also features shows, a few rides, a chairlift, and panning for gold.
