This is amazing! This would have been the exact version I saw. My grandparents would visit friends near here and brought me here a couple times when I was a kid. We lived in Florida so to be able to say I went here a couple times and to be able to see the version of the ride i would have watched is awesome!!!
I was there in 1986 and its definitely nothing like that anymore. The train robbery and indian attack skits have been replaced with a bunch of slapstick comedy routines and one liners. It doesn't take itself seriously at all anymore.
Markaroony :o well children are riding the train so they can’t make it dark for them anymore....well it’s properly not dark but still cowboys are a grown ups thing ya know
No way, you too?! Well I guess I’m not the only one who saw these videos. Was it the one with A&WP 290 & TVRM 610? I haven’t seen that video in years!@@railroadvelocipedeproducti2020
@@T128Productions Well it was on a different dvd a long time ago where it was compilation of train shots they taken over the years. And the awesome music that plays in their dvd menus. But yeah a few years ago I got a dvd copy of four days of steam in dixie that featured #12.
I miss those train rides. My mom used to get season passes, and take me almost every weekend during the summer back in the mid nineties. I've taken my son a couple of times, and the train rides nowadays suck. I mean, they're not horrible, but everything I liked about them when I was a kid is gone. The Indian's no longer run through the train, there's hardly any fighting. There's no action or excitement it's just a bunch of lame jokes. What? Are they afraid of offending someone or something? If people can't see that this is harmless fun and entertainment then they need to bug off. No, I bet I know what it is, a bunch of idiots complained that it was too violent for the kiddies didn't they? Yeah, of course they did. Sorry, but no it's not. Generations of kids enjoyed this place long before it became the watered down version it is today, and I'm sure the majority of them turned out just fine. This generation is the one that's really going to be screwed, because too many parents are determined to take the fun out of childhood. God forbid a kid play with a toy gun anymore, because they might grow up and want to shoot somebody. Give me a break. I'm sorry but parents who think that way need to have their heads examined, because they're the crazy ones.

this was the way tweetsie looked when I was a kid.... they pulled the enclosed car around and had green cars as well as the red and yellow ones.
Different whistle than it used to be.
Its the same whistle it was just damaged at this time period she has had the same whistle since 1917 when she was born
Froggyman145 I heard it in mark 1 video’s...one of his train movies that had Tweetsie 12 with the same whistle

Wow even RPO 15 was there still.. They should have kept that car.
Sounds like a 3 chime version of a bullet nosed Betsy
