Alaska Presley is the only person who bid on the property at auction, offered $2.5 million for the property and its equipment. Competing buyers can file an upset bid for 10 days. Presley is now counting down the days until Feb. 20 to see if anyone places a counterbid. Presley, 88, hopes to leave a functioning and profitable Ghost Town as her legacy to Maggie Valley.
Read more from The Smokey Mountain News.
A park in a place with a person's name is now owned by a person named after a place.
I'm not sure that I consider zip lines high tech...but I hope it works out for her and that community. It just seems like such an uphill (pun intended) battle. If parks cannot make it in Houston, New Orleans, Myrtle Beach, etc...Maggie Valley would sure be an upset success story.
Parks can make it in those three locations. Unless your company is poorly run, ready for bankruptcy,or your park gets hit bu a hurricane and destroyed.
Holiday World does OK for being in the middle of nowhere. Good luck Presley.
Ghost Town is on the wrong side of the national park.

Such as Astroworld, Hard Rock & Jazzland (SFNO AKA SFUW (Under water)). LOL
88 years old. God bless her! Sounds like a spunky lady though.
That's the best part Rathergoodbear. I wish her the best as well. Gotta make it a point to.visit.
Speaking of Myrtle Beach...Kenny Powers was back last night! There was some decent park footage with him and the X more drunk than a guy punching a security guard at DCA. :)
