BLOWING
ROCK, N.C., Aug. 27,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ghost Train, a beloved
family tradition, is returning to Tweetsie Railroad. This fall,
every Friday and Saturday evening, from September 20 to October 26, the theme park is
Wild West by day and changes to Haunted Park by night.
"It's safe, scary fun for the whole family," said Cathy Robbins of Tweetsie Railroad. "Young
children enjoy dressing up and trick or treating. Everyone loves
the night-time amusement rides, and the street dance party; while
the older, braver souls can tour the Haunted House, explore the
Freaky Forest and ride on the Ghost Train."
