For those not familiar The Land of Oz is a theme park located in Boone, North Carolina. It operated from 1970 to 1980. Though it closed up for regular operations all those years ago, the park is NOT abandoned and thanks to very hard work by some very dedicated Oz fans, the Land of Oz can be enjoyed again through various events. Tickets for the next event Autumn at Oz are on sale now. For those unfamiliar with The Land of Oz, I suggest reading the book by Tim Hollis. That will give you a good start. Also please visit their official Facebook page and website.
Original park souvenirs are highly desired among Oz collectors and people who visited the park as children in the 70s. So many have wonderful, fond memories of a magical time in the mountains of North Carolina. In addition to yearly events, the park will be releasing new collectibles in the coming months. Oz enthusiast Sean Barrett has worked tirelessly to get new product off the ground and the results are amazing!
Coming this Fall:
Plush dolls measuring 11 inches tall. Toto stands at 8 inches. A Wicked Witch will be added to the group soon.
