Michael Jackson’s Neverland Theme Park Rebuilt And Restored For Biopic Filming

Michael Jackson’s infamous Neverland theme park is dusting off the cobwebs to film scenes for a new biopic about the late singer's life the film company behind the biopic has restored signature features from when Jackson owned the 2,700-acre ranch near Santa Barbara the Ferris wheel, merry-go-round and circus tent all got colorful makeovers. Everything's buzzin' with life and fun at the revamped Neverland Ranch with a whole lineup of other fairground rides, such as a hot-air balloon ride and even a red train. Filming was in full swing Friday with camera crews set up, and extras fully immersed in their roles as balloon sellers, ride operators, and food stall vendors. Michael stopped living at Neverland after 2003, when Sheriff's deputies executed a search warrant related to the child molestation case. Although he never returned, his estate still co-owned the Ranch until 2020 that's when Ron Burkle a Jackson family friend purchased it for a reported $22 million.
