Thanks for posting this video. I stumbled across a VHS tape cleaning out my dad's house of our 1989 trip to tweetsie and was curious if there were others that had videos from back then. I was 4 years old in that video. I'm 38 now. Now I take my 7 year old daughter to tweetsie a few times a year. It's a very special place.
That's exactly how I remember Tweetsie when I was little. They don't run through the train anymore. It used to be really good. They'd be fighting on the train, shooting on the train and everything. It's changed a lot since then and not as fun as it used to be.
I went for my first time in 1990. My Dad's video camera and VCR was stolen later that had the tape of our trip in it. Thank you for sharing your experiences with the world! :)
Thanks for the video. I haven't been to Tweetsie in years even though I live only about 2 hours away. I use to love the rainmakers show. The train ride and Indian show was so much better than the current videos of the shows.
I went in 1986 as a five year old. As I recall, the train robbery and indian attack were much more interesting and I can remember being terrified when the indians boarded the train with tomahawks in hand. There was always humor with the cowboys, but when I watched videos of the recent shows, they are all pretty much just slapstick and one liners. They even incorporate jokes about modern stuff, which ruins the old west feel completely.
At the start of the video, are you riding with Tweetsie #12 or Yukon Queen #190? The whistle sounds a bit like both (moreso 190's), but I'm pretty sure Tweetsie had a different whistle 30 years ago.
Yeah I agree. :( I saw some vids from last year and even though the actors are doing their job.. It's missing something. but that is just my opinion. heh :)

Man, I'll tell you, Tweetsie looks different, yet the same to how it was years ago.

I miss the way they used to do these shows.

I remember when the deer park was like that, without the fence. It was a lot more fun!
You were the same age as me~ :D
Oh your welcome, I miss the way things used to be like there.
