What a great place especially for younger children. The mouse mine ride was so cute. That steam engine was awesome and so nice of him to show you around and answer your questions. Would not want to be an engineer on a hot day unless sitting on an ice pack. Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤
I loved this ride as a small child and had grandiose memories of the ride. When I returned in my late teens, I was shocked that the cheese mine scene was so small you could almost see out both ends of the tunnel 😄. I still love the nostalgia of it though. That song does stick in your head!
OMG I used to go there every other year with my grandparents. Sweet memories thanks for sharing 🙏🏻. Especially the train ride when the Indians and the cowboys have a shoot out ♥️✌️ this is new to me and beautiful. I haven’t been back since the fire
Hey carpetbagger fun fact about the tweetsie railroad is that it is a narrow gauge railroad which means that's the tracks are closer together than the standard gauge track
It's funny that 100 years ago, a can-can show was provocative and considered perverse. Today, our society is so desensitized that can-can shows are apart of a childs amusement park. 😂
My Grandfather who was a boy in OLD time Paris, told me that at the original Can Can shows at Moulin Rouge, some of the dancers wore NO underpants..so the ruffling up of the skirts brought in the customers. I guess those were the days. :-)
im more surprised people paid just to see people dance around! like that was THE highlight entertainment! then again with the obsession with sites like Tik Tok it doesnt seem like we came that far along after all... i rather ride a good heart pounding roller coaster any day! watching people dance is boring!🤣
A cheese mine. The funny thing is Big Pit, a former operational mine in South Wales is now partially being used to store Caerphilly cheese, due to the cold temperature down there. So it's literally a cheese mine!
The mouse ride was my favorite when I was little it's been there forever. It broke down once on us when I was about 10 like 25 years ago we had to get put and push the it to get it moving again lol.
I love these old amusement parks. Rode the Assiniboine Park Steam Train last month in Winnipeg, Manitoba for the 1st time. I'd like to take a trip on a full-size one, before they're all permanently out of commission.
I was just about to comment the same thing! But don't they have such a spooky, mournful sound!!! That whistle blowing through the mountains at night could make your hair stand on end!
Would like to visit there sometime. I'm glad I don't have to take my steam locomotives to North Carolina to be fixed. Could get pricey and would take a while.
Another note to the Engineer and Conductor question. On both freight trains and passenger trains the answer is correct. Engineers run the train and Conductor manages the train. Engineers run not drive trains just a side note. Confusion comes for most people when they hear people use Conductor as the person operating the train. When it comes to commuter trains, elevated trains, subways and the sort. Operators of those are called Conductor or Motorman.
You need to come see us at Raven’s Cross Haunted Village and Escape Rooms in Cave City KY this haunt season you will not be disappointed. Friday and Saturday nights starting the last weekend in September
Hey if you ever go to Ohio you have to check out land of illusion. It’s a haunted theme park for the fall! A water park for the summer and a Christmas light show for winter. I think it would be really cool to see in your vids.
tweetsie railroad is my jam, but let me tell you a little thing about the mouse cheese mine it's evil! I remember every time my mom would bring me to tweetsie we had to ride it. I wanted to jump out of the cart and beat cheese out of that stupid song. the guy who runs the train most have sound proof headphones that's probably why he hasn't gone crazy from that song!
Train starts off going I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can
The dark ride was really cool, and the atmosphere was wonderful there. I just wish that they didn't stereotype the Native Americans in their one tableau. Learning about the train was very neat; I had never seen the inside of the engine before except in abandoned ones and those are different. Thanks, Jacob! (Also, I hope you were able to get some sleep last night!)
CARPET BAGGER YOUR NEAR ME PLEASE COME VISIT ME PLEASE MESSAGE ME IT WOULD BE A HUGE HONOR TO GO TO GHOST TRAIN WITH YOU ME AND MY LITTLE BROTHER Wtch your videos all the time
The flying insect is "Horace the horse fly" the story they play while standing in line tells about the characters in the mine.
That is the cheesiest mine ride I've ever seen! 😎
I was the operator that day (in the hat) it was an honor getting to give you a ride on the famous Mouse Mine#9 !!!!
Back on our home turf in NC - a-Tweetsie is a local legend in the hearts of generations of Tarheel kids! Welcome home!
I love the animatronics on this attraction. Reminds me of it's small world

You should visit Tweetsie for July 4th! It is a great experience.
I had so much fun at Tweetsie Railroad many years ago. Thanks for bringing me back so many happy memories!
I always wanted to go to Tweetsie and no one would ever take me. 😢 Now, I finally got to see it! Thanks, Jacob!

Dollywood screwed up when they took the robber show from the train ride we loved that
I totally agree
Wow beautiful Steam Train ! what a lovely place the cheese mine was great ! and i see they also have some classic rides . Thank you .

This brings back so many memories. I love this place
Grew up down the street... worked in the fudge shop through high school and still visit to this day... It's a great little spot with real trains.
This little park it's so great! I hope to visit it someday.
It's funny that 100 years ago, a can-can show was provocative and considered perverse. Today, our society is so desensitized that can-can shows are apart of a childs amusement park. 😂
I noticed they had shorts-like underpants on, though, and I guess it's just part of the old west theme. Good point, though.

2:32 The kids saying "wow!" when first seeing the mice mine is so cool. 🧀
Thanks for going thru twice. Nice to get a different view each time.
So satisfying seeing a steam locomotive starting off!

Very cool vlog! Went to Tweetsie when I was 10 years old and loved it! This brought back memories! THANKS!
I absolutely love the way the steam trains sound, it's like music for my ears.😍
I was just about to comment the same thing! But don't they have such a spooky, mournful sound!!! That whistle blowing through the mountains at night could make your hair stand on end!
I love the little mice, so cute.
Never heard of this place. Looks like a ton of fun!
Enjoyed goiung to Tweetsie with you! Thank You!
Another great video carpetbagger. You are a inspiration for some of us other guys getting into vlogging such as myself. Keep up the good work
After seeing your video of the Ghost Train last year I am taking my grandkids there for this haunt season....great video !!!
Love Tweetsie Railroad. Been there many times
King of the Dark ride......Once again....
It's a HORSE FLY!! brilliant
Ikr!?
The mouse mine was cool! So is the old train!
The rock afire explosion was here before they got removed
Fantastic vid as always!
Also...Chris Pratt spotted at 1:43 xD
OMG love this place long time since 80's
Would like to visit there sometime. I'm glad I don't have to take my steam locomotives to North Carolina to be fixed. Could get pricey and would take a while.

I love The Tweetsie Railroad! I’m ready to go back there.
I remember going there when I was little back in the 60’s. That’s when Fred Kirby was always there.
That Locomotive is Awesome*
What a great place Jacob, the mine was soo good, Thankyou another brilliant vlog xxx 😊
Jacob in Southern Ontario Canada outside of Sarnia and Petrolia is a haunted bus ride called Reapers Realm look it up!
The mouse bathing in mozzarella is very funny you can't bathe in mozzarella 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I thought you were going to get a cab ride. I got a cab ride about 10 years ago, very cool thing to do.
Awesome he actually let you onboard the steam engine to see it up close, that's very rare...
I saw him at ghost house at Wisconsin dells
I always thought Tweetsie was considered to be in Boone rather than Blowing Rock. I grew up in Boone and that is what I was always told.
Katie Bradley me too
Nice video, would love to visit here!
Love you t-shirt! Minnesota State Fair starts next week. Would love to see you there.
You should film Howl O Scream and Busch Gardens in Williamsburg VA
Love the video , enjoyed it ❤️
Great video Jacob, really enjoyed it! Do they have "regular" rides too?
WOW, I didn't know the difference either COOL! So the Engineer is the driver.👍👽♠️
Ty this was great mouse mine was cool.
Hi Carpetbagger! Awesome place n video.
Awesome

I grew up going there many times as a kid dressed up in a full cowboy outfit!
Hey if you ever go to Ohio you have to check out land of illusion. It’s a haunted theme park for the fall! A water park for the summer and a Christmas light show for winter. I think it would be really cool to see in your vids.
Two thumbs up!
a long time ago they had a mini rock afire show stage there.
The mice dug that mine because they curd.
Mouse Mine is classic.
❤Ever do Tweetsie Christmas?🎉
That is so cool!
Blaine is a pain and that is the truth. (You should check out Cass Railroad in WV someday.)
Jacob the bug is a horse fly :D
Wasn't it Tweetie Land
Go to where?
It's like Minnie and Mickey mouse through the lens of The Simpsons Itchy and Scratchy
I think I can I think I can I think I can I think I can
I don't know... that mouse cave seemed a bit cheesy. 😀

You tone it out after a while.....I've been running that ride for 3 seasons you hear the song at a minimum of 50 times a day
♥ Trains
I rather have a, Carpetbagger The ride :)
I don't think all vieuwers are old enough to " ride " the Carpetbagger 🤔
If I was that train driver, I would go home a slit my wrist after the first day! It has changed from when I went as a kid some 30 years ago...
Dear lord....that music. Make it stop.... LOL
We saved so much by c c !!! $80.00 mo.
