Tweetsie Railroad Theme Park, Blowing Rock, North Carolina
A pair of park goers enjoy the Tweetsie Railroad theme parks vintage highway cruiser ride oblivious to the very real graveyard which the park was actually built to surround.
Before the park was built in 1960 the property on which it was built was host to a Baptist church which had been in place since the century before. The church disbanded before the parks arrival but the churches graveyard remained. Thus the park was constructed around the graveyard which is now totally encompassed by the park itself. Though the graveyard has been included to be subtle enough that most park attendees either don't notice it or think it's a prop for the "town" area of the park.
