With April just around the corner, the High Country is gearing up for warmer temperatures, longer days, blooming flowers and of course, our 2010 season! We are putting on the finishing touches for opening day – Friday, April 30. As we celebrate our 53rd season, we are excited to welcome our guests as well as an array of special events including Letterland, Day Out With Thomas™, the July 4th Fireworks Extravaganza, a visit from Dora the Explorer™ and her cousin Diego™ , the K-9’s in Flight Frisbee® Dogs, Grammy award-winning performers Riders In The Sky and the annual Ghost Train® Halloween Festival. Don’t forget to buy your Golden Rail Season Passes so you can enjoy Tweetsie all season long! Guests can take advantage of preseason rates and save up to $15 per pass (adults save $15, children $10) now through May 2 – just visit www.tweetsie.com for more information.
We are also getting ready for our close-up as Tweetsie will host the cast and crew during filming of the upcoming movie Mandie and the Cherokee Treasure. The park will serve as a backdrop for the film’s turn-of-the-century North Carolina setting. Mandie and the Cherokee Treasure is the second film installment based on the popular Mandie children’s book series. Filming begins soon and will wrap up mid-April. Lights, camera, Tweetsie! Follow their “Updates from the Set” at their Web site www.mandieandthecherokeetreasure.com.
And finally, we know our friends and fans enjoy hearing about the new additions at Tweetsie – especially the baby animals! The newest (and youngest) residents of the Deer Park zoo include pygmy goat kids and a pot bellied piglet. We’ll post more photos on our Facebook page ... if you are not already a fan, become one soon! www.facebook.com/tweetsie

I’ve been coming to Tweetsie ever since I was little, and I love it just as much now as I did then! It’s a great mix of some old and some new. 53 years is truly something to celebrate.
The amusement rides and shows are superb. Being a railfan, I love the train ride behind #12 or #190. Tweetsie has something for everyone, both young and old, to enjoy! I am really looking forward to the 2010 seaon!
