NEVERLAND LOOKS EVER SO GRAND!

This is his wonder and his joy, his happiness, his peace

Jermaine Jackson

5th July 2009

By Richard Peppiatt

Michael Jackson’s Neverland Ranch has been restored to its former glory in an amazing overnight blitz headed by brother Jermaine.

The crumbling 2,500-acre estate was the tragic star’s spiritual home and is now due to become a Jacko Disneyland for his adoring fans.

These snaps give an amazing insight of Peter Pan fantasy world the fallen idol cloaked himself in during the peak of Jackomania.

Despite much of the furniture already being stripped out to help pay his debts, areas such as the huge cinema where he watched endless Disney cartoons, remain untouched.

A replica of the famous Disneyland train station, which youngsters used for the ride to Jacko’s personal theme park, also still stands.

The star quit the California ranch in 2005 after his child molestation trial.

The site quickly fell into disrepair after Jacko was unable to pay staff.

But since his death fans have flocked to its gates, covering them in flowers, photos and notes.

Jermaine, 54, said: “This is his creation. This is his wonder and his joy, his happiness, his peace. And I feel him everywhere. It’s like he’s never left.”

Scores of cleaners, decorators and handymen descended on the £60million property on the orders of the Jackson family in a bid to make it the King Of Pop’s final resting place.

California officials are standing firm that Jacko must be buried in a real cemetery.

But his fans are pleading for an exemption to allow the ranch to become a shrine like the one created for Elvis Presley in Graceland, Tennessee.

The LA firm that last year teamed up with Jackson to rescue Neverland from being auctioned off by his creditors has refused to say what the ranch’s future will be.
