Apparently, these stone people are supposed to be the munchkins.

Yep. Definitely not munchkins.
Here’s Emerald City:
I have to admit Iโm a little confused about the proportions, here. But Iโm also too terrified to want to find out more. If you go to the park today, youโll see an abandoned ski lift. But back in the โ70s, the lift wasnโt used for skiersโฆ
It was refurbished into a makeshift hot air balloon ride. OK, that part is actually kind of cool.
Dorothy’s house is also on the property.
Apparently, you can see the Wicked Witch of the Eastโs legs trapped under the house. Thatโs exactly what you wanted to hear, right?
There’s actually a somewhat happy ending to the story of the Land of Oz theme park, though. In the late ’90s, former employees of the theme park started reuniting on the park grounds once a year.
Theyโve since opened their reunion weekend up to the public. Itโs called the Autumn of Oz and it takes place on the first weekend of each October.

The yellow brick road looks about 1,000 times better after a fresh coat of paint and cheery flowers planted nearby.
And no super creepy fog. That helps too.
So even if the park looks a little creepy in the off-season (and it does), it’s nice to see that it hasn’t been completely forgotten by the those who care about it.

But youโre never going to see me there.
