Tweetsie Railroad
North Carolina, United States
Tweetsie Railroad in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, is the state's first theme park, opened in 1957 as a family-friendly Wild West adventure centered on historic narrow-gauge steam locomotives. The park's star attraction is Engine No. 12, the last surviving locomotive from the East Tennessee and Western North Carolina Railroad, built in 1917, which pulls visitors on a scenic 3-mile round-trip ride through the Blue Ridge Mountains with a theatrical train robbery show along the way. Beyond the train, it offers amusement rides, a deer park zoo, gem mining, live entertainment, and seasonal events like Day Out With Thomas, Ghost Train Halloween, and Tweetsie Christmas, all evoking nostalgic mountain railroading history.
