Amusement and Water Parks

Amuse Yourself

Silverwood Theme Park is a town unto itself with over 65 rides and attractions including theater shows, live entertainment, a country carnival, midway arcade, thrill-seeking amusement rides and a spectacular water park. Be sure to ride the narrow gauge steam train and two of the largest wooden roller coasters in the west. Tempt fate on the hair raising, 55 mph TimberTerror. Then, if you dare, climb aboard Tremors. Plummet 103 feet into the first of four underground tunnels, then burst through the floor and roof of the gift shop.  Don’t miss Panic Plunge... an adrenaline rush is guaranteed as you speed  towards the ground at 47 mph. The newest, tallest and fastest roller coaster, Aftershock, opened in July 2008. Seasonal activities include "Scarywood" in October. The entire park is converted to a haunted land of thrills and scares, including a backwards roller coaster ride!
