    That was on Magic Mountain at Tweetsie Railroad! I am sure you visited there as a child, being a Boone girl.

    I’m a couple lf decades older than you … and I was pretty young when they changed out this feature for something else like the Mouse Mine ride…so you may have only see the giant in postcards.

    Mystery solved! Thanks so much, Catherine…it was right under my nose. My childhood house was only a few miles from Tweetsie–we could hear the train whistle. I remember visits to the Mouse Mine vividly, but this must have been before my time. I’m sure I can get more info from people at Tweetsie about when things were changed.

    No this was there around 1970 when I was a child. I still vividly recall the giant snored very loadly and moved slightly. When did they change this?
