The first Dorothy in the Kansas scenes was fantastic. She even looked very much like Judy Garland. The costumes were spot on. My brother and I would have loved this place when we were little since we both loved The Wizard of Oz. Back then, it was only shown in tv once a year. It was a national holiday in our house next to Christmas, Halloween and birthdays.
Glad to know they are doing the ski lift again. They used it in 2012, but went back to busses in 2013, and I haven been back since. The ski lift just makes the experience so much better.
My god the characters and costumes are absolutely stunning... Dorothy and the Tin man were mind blowing! Flying bicycles at the start were a nice touch too 😂
I always love seeing this place again. I've only been there once, the first summer it opened, i was 7.Glad to see that most of the stuff is still there. When I went , the characters , apart from Dorothy, all had big character heads. I did get to ride on the hot air balloon ride and was handed some Emerald City glasses as you walked thro the city gates(basically cardboard 3D specs with red and green lenses) . Seeing the finale indoors was much nicer . The original show was in a huge outdoor theater and you couldn't see the wizards head very well because of the brightness. Thank you again , Jacob!
I went here as a child when it was in it's heyday. Then I did the Autumn at Oz a few years back. It's so wonderful to see someone trying to bring back the original magic! Hope to make it up there next year as I live in NC. Thanks for posting!
Nice, they do a fantastic job. I was more impressed than I expected to be. My step-dad loves Wizard of Oz and as I've grown older, there is a lot of nostalgia. Thank you for taking me to a theme park I didn't know existed 💜
Thank you for this return to my childhood in the summer of 1978! It's fantastic to see it back in operation, even if on a limited basis. It's in much better shape than I expected.
I went there in the 70’s when was a little girl. Have pictures still lol. Remember it quite well. The tornado noise was really loud as I recall and very similar if not same setup as now. Actors are on point!!! Really nostalgic. Thanks!
Yes this place does look amazing, I would love to go there and I agree the actors are amazing in their roles I means it completely makes you feel like you're in the classic movie of the wizard of oz from MGM in 1939.
19:19 HE SOUNDS JUST LIKE BERT LAHR IN THE MOVIE! That was phenomenal. But seriously, the witch laugh when you left the farmhouse after landing in Oz was pure nightmare fuel. But still spot on! You seem like such a joy to be around! I really wish I could go here. Thanks for sharing!
omg i didn't even know they had this place. I love the wizard of oz it's one of my favorite movies. Judy garland was amazing such a fan of her's. I've liked the musical wicked as well which is based of the wizard of oz. it's one of my favorite musicals. I love dorothy's dress and shoes it's like the movie. Very good job to the actors. the witich name in wicked is call Elphaba. The wicked witch of the east in wicked was called nessarose.
I want to visit this place so badly because I LOVE Wizard of Oz. I grew up with it. It was my all-time favorite movie. Everything is so authentic. And these actors are AMAZING! They're doing such a wonderful job, they remembered their lines so well.
Ah, a most enjoyable park themed round the most enjoyable all American faity tale, loved by children and adults all over the world. Thank you Jacob for taking us on the dream!
Wow, those actors! There were times when they captured the gestures, facial expressions, and sounds of the movie characters perfectly! The Wicked Witch & the Cowardly Lion were particularly good.
I thoroughly enjoyed this. The actors are marvelous . I think it has actually improved from the last time you were there. Wonderful. Keep Safe❤Keep Well ❤
Thanks for bringing back some good memories. I visited the original Land of Oz several times in the 70s. I remember taking my oldest son there and especially the balloon ride, sad that it's no longer there.
Jacob this is amazing!!! I visited the land of OZ every summer in the early 70's..it was so magical as a child🌻 Thanks for this fabulous walk down memory lane..
Used to ski there all the time! Short runs but it is NC. Pretty awesome place overall. Lots of resort housing and restaurants. Has a public sledding hill complete with snowmaking. Nice to see this is happening at the old park!
Very close to home. Had no idea this was more than a ski resort. Will definitely have to check this out. Really great way for a family with children to enjoy a classic, most loved fairytale. I loved it! Thank you Jacob!
As ALWAYS, Wonderful job Jacob! I didn't think I'd enjoy this attraction nearly as much as I did! The actors were phenomenal and your interaction with them was priceless! Loved it!! Thx for sharing friend!! ✨🍭✨💜💯🌈✨🧹🌀💨✨🚲✌️
I was there the first weekend and they had several other characters and "shows" with Dorothy when she met each character on the yellow brick road. However there were some different characters in this video that weren't present during our visit. Either way, this is a must do for any Oz fan. My children loved it!!! Sorry we missed you by a week Carpetbagger!!!!!!!!!! The whole family loves your videos.
Interesting how they keep re-imagining this place. It's been moving away from the 70s version that was like the original book spliced with H.R. Pufnstuf. Now it's more and more like the movie. It was just a year or two ago when they still had a lot of the old experience. I remember the witch still danced and lip-synched to her old song and some of the characters still seemed to be inspired by the old designs.
this gladdens my heart jacob , reimagined and loved again the costumes and actors superb the buildings beautiful the forest fabulous my hats off to you all who put the fantastic back into this attraction i was moved to tears ,
The actors are all so wonderful!
Yes very impressive! Like even on video it feels like it’s really happening
They do such an amazing job
Everyone was on point! Thanks, Jacob
yeah saw it when i was a kid i sweari thought it was really dorthy lol
@@Zamarae just like in the 1939 movie
"I'm evil." Lol that explains it all. This was really cool. Thanks dude
That was my favorite part
The actors, costumes and settings are amazing. This is truly a top notch production.
The first Dorothy in the Kansas scenes was fantastic. She even looked very much like Judy Garland. The costumes were spot on.

Jacob whispering rosebud with the snow globe always makes me smile!
Yeah citizen kane
“Watch out for the flying monkeys”
Dorothy and everyone else in OZ : 😱😱😱😱😱
Jacob: 😁🥳🥳🥳🥳
Tickled me so much 😂🤣😂
This was hilarious. And someone put a lot of time and effort getting the park and shows together. But please get Dorothy a much smaller Toto haha
I notice that too lol 😆
The scarecrow is precious! They all did a great job.
He sure was a great actor.
Glad to know they are doing the ski lift again. They used it in 2012, but went back to busses in 2013, and I haven been back since. The ski lift just makes the experience so much better.
Ok IMO, this is hands down best dedication to a park experience besides the franchise parks
The actors were all really good and talented, so expressive.
My god the characters and costumes are absolutely stunning... Dorothy and the Tin man were mind blowing! Flying bicycles at the start were a nice touch too 😂
Never thought I’d see you here!
Wow the man is here
"I'd rather have fun than have a brain" Spoken like a doctor of thinkology!
wow the actors are just perfection, what a great event.
Yeah they did so wonderful in their acting as the characters and I enjoy it.
Wow they've really spruced this place up over the years. It's looking great!

Fantastic. Thank you so very much. The actors were awesome. Very professional. Very nice location also. Thanks again. Peace
“Biking down a mountain…who’da ever think to ride a bike down a mountain? That’s crazy!” Ha! Love this guy.
The actors did such a good job! I love the Wizard of Oz!

😂😂😂 “Oh, my gosh! The quilt has been slightly rustled off the bed.” Yeah, that was some tornado, huh?
21:50 that flying monkey is adorable! They did a wonderful job, it was precious!
Can’t wait for Haunt Season with The Carpetbagger next month! Let the air compressed cannons, clowns, and screaming like a girl begin! 🎃☠️
Me too!
@@bartplays3392 Awesome!
Awesome to hear Regina! 🤗
Jump scares! 😄
@@k-dramabookgirl1574 Jumpscares are another thing that Jake hates. 🤣🤣
Actors did a good job! I couldn't do that... I tip my hat to them.
This has been significantly improved some the last time you visited with your daughter. Thanks for sharing again!
Looked like a lot of fun. It was my daughter's favorite movie while growing up. She would have loved this.💕
23:21 that is literal high quality comedy right there.
This was absolutely amazing!!! I would love to visit this. The actors were so good and genuine!!!
Yes this place does look amazing, I would love to go there and I agree the actors are amazing in their roles I means it completely makes you feel like you're in the classic movie of the wizard of oz from MGM in 1939.
That was so good Jacob. What a great group of actors.
Thanks as always 👍🇬🇧
I’m so excited for this!!!! I found your channel not to long ago, but I’m absolutely loving it!!
Wow. It looks beautiful there. The colors are so bright and fresh. They do a wonderful job.
I had no idea this was this Well put togethor. This is like a Broadway play!
Amazing blog, this place should reopen all year long, I’d pay some money to see it!! Coolest part was you interacting with the scarecrow!!
The way the actors immerse and interact!!!!! I love it! I envy you
19:19 HE SOUNDS JUST LIKE BERT LAHR IN THE MOVIE! That was phenomenal. But seriously, the witch laugh when you left the farmhouse after landing in Oz was pure nightmare fuel. But still spot on! You seem like such a joy to be around! I really wish I could go here. Thanks for sharing!
I wished I could visit Oz! The place is magical.
How much fun…its like a walk-through, interactive play!
Loved visiting in 1971-72 as a wee kid. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video!
That was really well done. I am a 35 year old child and I enjoyed that play.
That's quite a big place too go round the brilliant wizard of oz 👌
Love that you wore red crocs. I need to visit this place it looks amazing and the actors are amazing especially the witch
The performers are incredible!
I agree
Now I'm gonna age myself and say I went to this as a child. I believe around 4/5. I have pics somewhere. It was so amazing.
Me too! A few of the spots shown I have photos of. What a wonderful walk down a yellow-bricked memory lane!
I love the witches laugh, so cool. Great video,thank you
Yes, she really nailed that laugh! Whoever did the casting did a good job. I wish that the Tin Man had more of the child-like tone of Jack Haley.
I really loved the characters they were very impressive. Love ya Bagger
Thanks for taking "your magic box" there so we could see this!
I took my son and niece there in the 1970’s. Would love to go back!
this was wonderful and the actors... wowwee they were so good at there job and sounded almost like the characters from the movie. thank you you Jacob
omg i didn't even know they had this place. I love the wizard of oz it's one of my favorite movies. Judy garland was amazing such a fan of her's.

Looks so cool, I definitely want to go here someday!
Back in 98 my wife and I rented that house for a few days. It was in winter so we could ski from the property. Nice to see it up and running.
I love your videos so much, they always make me smile. Just by your demeanour, it’s evident you’re a good and genuine man.

Love your videos so glad I found your channel. I’m honestly confused how every single one of your videos don’t have at least 100k+ views.
Love how committed the actors are to their characters.
We went last year and it was so much Fun. These actors are Amazing and This will always be my favorite Movie!!! ❤
“I’m evil” best comeback line. 😂😂
Such a cool place......I need to get to NC. Thanks for another awesome find!
This has come a long way!!!! Just wonderful ✌❤
I saw this as a child in the mid 70's. I remember riding in the hot air baloons.
Man this is awesome!! Great video sir!!😎
Great job on the video
This must be a major passion project for those actors. My heavens they are amazing!
That Wicked Witch Laugh… *THAT WAS A HUGE JUMP SCARE*
LOVE the actors. They are wonderful! Thanks for a great video. 😊❤
Legend has it that that witch is still cackling away!
Jacob this is amazing!!! I visited the land of OZ every summer in the early 70's..it was so magical as a child🌻 Thanks for this fabulous walk down memory lane..

Thanx Jacob.
I appreciate the Simpson's quote when correcting the scarecrows triangle equation 🤣
Absolutely amazing video of the park, thanks for sharing.
This was a lot of fun.
Grate actors and costumes.
Thank you so much for sharing!
Oz means so much to me. I'll be checking out all of your other Oz videos soon. Very glad to have found your channel.

Looks like it would be a lot of fun to be a performer at the Land of Oz. Wish I was one. Gain some improv experience.
I love to go see that it's beautiful my mom grow up loving the oz movie

It's sounds schmaltzy to say, but it truly is heartwarming to see it back in operation.
PS: Think you need to take the cowardly lion on a dark ride 😉
this has got to be THE most awesome place,ever!!!!
Just casually humming the Miss Gulch/Wicked Witch leitmotif as he goes over a hapless biker XD
Looks like a very cool place. Very different. All the actors do a great job!👍
