North Carolina s "Land of Oz" theme park is reopening on Fridays in June. Tickets are already sold out for this Friday.
WGHP-TV reported this month that organizers say tours with the character Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz" take place every hour between 10:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. Tickets cost $12.50 plus $10 for a roundtrip lift ticket.
This is the third year that The Land of Oz has opened for a limited time. The theme park originally operated from 1970 to 1980.
WGHP reports that when the park was open year-round, people could wander through Dorothy s farmhouse and take a ride on a hot air balloon.
