Almost hidden on a winding mountain in North Carolina, United States, you can find a road to "The Wizard of Oz"

Created during the 1970s, the theme park was abandoned 10 years after opening

In the golden age, the tourist attraction could receive up to 20 thousand visitors per day.

Nowadays, the place is flying, with bricks missing on the famous yellow road

The project was a dream of businessman Grover Robbins and in its first summer received over 400 thousand visitors

Unfortunately, Robbins did not see his masterpiece finished: he died six months before the opening of a bone cancer.

The second tragedy surrounding the site was a fire that destroyed "Emerald City" and part of the museum's collection, like the dresses worn by Judy Garland in the movie.

Abandoned, the park was at the mercy of vandals and thieves, who stole and further destroyed the site.

But there is still hope for the Land of Oz: A group of volunteers has slowly restored the park and weeded it.
