Wow this is one of the updates I can't wait for every year and this was great! Thanks for the awesome video too. What do you think your guys favorite mazes of this year are from best to worst?

Ok, thank you, but were do you get your ride logos and how do you blend them into the background?

Hey this was very helpful, and I think I did it! I used Google for my logo is there a better place to get them? Also, I used the gradient tool to blend it in, is there a better or easier way to do that? Edit: How do you re-size yours so nice?

I'm a Buccaneer.

We started off the 3rd day (second day in the park, Sunday) a bit earlier at about 9:00, leaving at about 10:45 and got to the park at about 11:20 and only hitting about 8 stop lights! We got to the parking lot and it was the exact opposite of Saturday with about 2,000 people in the park! We got a island spot next to the lazy river with sand and everything at Boulder Beach! We hit all of the tube slides first without even having to give up our tube to someone else. Then we hit Avalanche Mountain 3 times in a row only having to wait about 3-5 minutes each time! After going down all the slides we headed for the train ride that goes around Silverwood and Boulder Beach. The train was very nice and the conductor was cool. We started by going around Boulder Beach and into the woods on the right side of it. There was a heard of Buffalo and a couple of babies. We went over a "high bridge" that was like 15 feet off the ground. Then they did a little charity show were a robber came aboard and "took" your money. After that they told fun facts for a while as we got back in view of the park. Just to name a few... The train goes higher than Tremors because it climbs at a slow incline for a long time but you would never be able to tell so they like to call it their "tallest" ride in the park, Silverwood also out-bought Disney for the train, the train was the first ride in the park, and Corkscrew is the original one from Knotts Berry Farm. After the train we got in line for Tremors. The ride was great and had a lot of airtime and head choppers. We Went on Tremors one more time and hit Timber Terror a couple more. Even my 4 year old 42.5 inch (ha ha limit is 42) brother got his first big coaster credit on Timber Terror and LOVED it! After riding Timber Terror we did some flats and the river raft ride on the way to Corkscrew. Corkscrew was running awesome and I almost got some ejector air down the drop in the back seat! Our time was up at Silverwood now and it was time... To go mini golfing! ha ha. Well I didn't get any pictures of that but here is some pictures of the last 2 days. A nice sunset at the campground. Thank you for reading! Second to last row on the Corkscrew. Super round up. The ending result! Comes out here... Comes through here... (yeah, you try getting this picture when its flying by at 60mph.) It goes in there... Ooh new shiny colors! Side view of the whole park. Water park from the train. Baby buffalo! Buffalo! Yeah I'm up there.

More Pictures from day 2. Were I slept. Inside the cabin. More pictures of the cabin. Corkscrew and the Scrambler. The Corkscrews first drop. The cool antique cars. Timber Terrors first drop. The Log Flume and its HUGE drop! Tremors.

This last weekend (25th and 26th) me, my Dad, my little brother, and one of my dads friends and his kids made a 9 hour drive to Silverwood Theme Park and Boulder Beach Water Park in Idaho. Sure, it was a long drive but it was totally worth it. We made the drive there on the 24th (Friday) and back home on the 27th (Monday). We stayed in a cabin at a KOA campground in Coeur D' Alene, Idaho which was awesome! It was a 2 room cabin, 75$ a night (Split between 2.) and, about 30 minutes away from the park. They also had a pool, game room, and boat rentals. The next morning we woke up around 9:30 thinking we could make it to the park by 11 for opening. We left at around 10:45 and hit about 20 stop lights on the way so we ended up getting to the park at about 12:00. The park was packed! We had to park way in the back of the parking lot. The lady we gave our money to for the parking ticket said there was an estimated 10,500 people in the park! We got in the park and went straight to Boulder Beach to grab a spot and we found one of the last ones by the new wave pool. We unloaded our stuff and headed straight to the new family slide, Avalanche Mountain. This slide was awesome! It was very long (for a slide) and on every corner you were almost falling off the slide because you were going so high. We fit 6 people in our raft and easily could have fit 1 or 2 more. It starts from about a 50 foot high "mountain" and goes into a 50 foot deep valley. So probably 100 feet high total but it never comes more than 5 feet off the solid ground. Next up we hit Velocity Peaks. I had already been on the big drop slide and the triple drop slide but I never got a chance to hit the curvy one so I did that one first. It was very fast and pulled a lot of G's during the helix. The only thing that I don't like is it kinda gets hard to breath because of all the water splashing into your face but I still think it's worth it. Next we headed to the new wave pool. It had some huge waves in the middle! You could almost body surf like 50 feet. After being on the rest of the slides till about 3:00 or 4:00 me and Jared (one of my Dad's friends kids) headed over to Silverwood. First ride we hit was Panic Plunge, I have to say this is my favorite drop ride I have been on. It lifts you up at a very slow speed to about 140 ft. and doesn't stop lifting until you fall so you never can tell when your gone until you here "the click". Once you here "the click" it starts as a regular drop but after you fall about 15 feet then it starts pulling you down and doesn't stop dropping till about 15 feet off the ground. The ride op said it goes about 45mph which is good compared to a S&S that falls from a lot higher and drops at 40mph (correct me if I'm wrong). The wait was about 15 minutes total and well worth it. Overall the ride was great. Next we went around the park riding stuff like the Antique Cars and a bunch of other flats then went and grabbed the rest of the group still at Boulder Beach. We hit the log flume which was fun. We got soaked but not from the drop, from the water cannons. Then headed toward Timber Terror. It was about a one hour wait and by the time we got the back seat it was dark. The first drop in the back was great because of how fast it whipped us down it. All of the hills on it had some kind of airtime so the ride was pretty awesome. I noticed it got a little more bumpy since the last time I had been on it but it was still great. Here is some pictures from the first 2 days... more to come! The new Avalanche Mountain! (sadly I only got this picture). Velocity Peaks... and something in the way of it : l That's a lot of cold water! The kiddie area. The next morning (close to afternoon) we were there! This really long pipe we crawled through. And that brown thing... it's a rock, I swear. It was almost a Screamin' Swing. Our "kabin" The Kool KOA Kampground That had Kabins in Koeur D' Alene Idaho. droooooool... Master Craft. (Sorry bad picture.) That's what you call a house. Vantage, Washington. Yeah it was an early start.

Monday. When was the last time you rode a log flume?

It was very nice inside and I liked the pizza too. I would say it was probably the best food around there that I have been to.

Yeah do this while playing the game... then press "Ctrl" + "Esc" and the game will minamize and you can open paint and follow the steps.

With Paint you should be able to save them to any folder. Have you tried a diffrent folder?

Here... In this position on a truck. (Thank you Matts Carnival Warehouse) It's this ride... (Thank you Matts Carnival Warehouse)

Try pressing the "Prt Scr SysRq" button on you keyboard then open up paint. Press "Ctrl" "V" at the same time (Or right click and press paste) and it should paste the screen shot to paint. Then size it down and save it!

More pictures! I leave you with a nice sunset. One last group picture. The Rock had coasters too! The best thing on the menu! Sounds healthy. We decided to eat at The Rock instead. Wild Things Corkscrew. Some awesome slides. Me, Ross, Lelenia, Katie, and Sarah. I almost got it. I think it would be better without the bump. Airtime? Kang-A-Bounce!

This last Monday I went to Wild Waves with four other friends. The weather was just perfect in my opinion being not to hot or to cold (about 75). The park was pretty crowded compared to other times I have gone in July or August. We left home at about 8:30 catching the 10:30 boat to Seattle because we missed the 9:30 boat. We got to the park at around 12 with no line at the gate . First up we got a family locker and headed of to the dry rides. We worked our way up the hill doing flats till we got to Timberhawk! This ride has 1 pretty nice drop and 2 other okay ones. The head choppers are great and the ride is very smooth all around. I asked about a POV but they said I couldn't do it for safety reasons so I obeyed. We got one ride in the back (waiting about 15 minutes) and one ride in the front (waiting about 30 minutes). The line was very slow because of 1 train operation and about 3 minute loading time. Next we worked our way back down the hill toward Lumberjack Falls. On our way we hit up the new Kang-A-Bounce! It actually was a very surprising ride but hurt you bladder a lot! After Lumberjack we did Wild Thing which was running very smooth with no side head bangs just back ones (if that makes any sense.) then we did slides for the rest of the day, then hit Timberhawk once more before leaving. Here are the pictures! Sack Slide with some big drops. Kiddie Coaster. Down the first drop into the valley. Pretty nice sign. Timberhawk and some head choppers. Wild Thing going through the loop. Sides from across the way. Falling Star and Flying ride that I forgot the name of ha ha. Fishy. Zuma Falls now has footers for the new raft lift that the lifeguard said is supposed to be "coming". Inside the park. Green slides, Falling star, Octopus, Pirate ship through the trees and, Timberhawk through the trees. It may not look like it but this is a ring of fire and its the new type that I have never seen before. It has shoulder restraints instead of a lap bar. I wish I could have got a better picture of it thought. Very bright reflection! On the ferry.

Wouldn't it make cense to get people out of the front first? That way the train probably would have stayed on the lift because of the weight of the people in back, right?

Thank you, but I think I will keep some of the flowers (not all, just some). I also have added some rocks, shrubs, and colorful trees around the park. Here's another update to show everyone! Update 4 : Rides, rocks, shrubs and trees! Shot0068.bmp Shot0067.bmp Kids Zone night shot. Shot0061.bmp Updated Kids Zone. Shot0066.bmp Another NEW Picture of High Flyer!

Yeah, you guys are right, I did over do the flowers, ha ha. Well, I think I fixed it. I also added fences, benches, lights, and trees! Update 3.5 : The small things. Also, thanks for your help everyone. I also think the park looks much better! Shot0060.bmp Shot0059.bmp Shot0057.bmp A new overview. Shot0056.bmp Blue Rider through MORE trees!

Thank you for the comment. I think I will definitely add fences to the rest of the park but for right now it hasn't happened yet, but, it will probably be in a .5 update when I do update it. As for trees, I have already added 2 new types that are different colors but, have not updated the pictures of them yet. I also think that you are right about the flat land and will try to add more terrain! Thanks again! More trees have been added to the park but the pictures are not updated yet. I want to be ahead of my updates a little just in case I can not work on the park for a couple days. As for fences, benches, and lamps, more will be added soon! Thank you for the helpful comment. As I am working on all this, here is another update. It's a big one! Update 3 : Kids Zone! Shot0035.bmp A overview. Shot0034.bmp Shot0033.bmp Shot0031.bmp The Kiddie Coaster.

No problem! Update 2.5 : New colors! Let me know what you think! Shot0039.bmp Hints for upcoming updates? Shot0037.bmp Shot0036.bmp

So I think I'm going to take you idea except it will be colors 1,3, and 4. But, while I'm working on this here is another update! Update 2: Grand opening!

How long did it take you guys to get from Playland to Seattle/Seattle to Playland? I would like to go there one day but I don't want to have to spend the night over there and have the cost double.

Great trip report! You sure lucked out on weather. The day after you left it started raining and hasn't stopped for like 4-5 days.

No, that's not what I was going for ha ha. I was trying to come up with a place in were the park should be located and it reminded me of my vacation to Whistler this winter, so that's why I made it be there. Anyways that's like a 6-8 hour drive away. So I decided to test to see which color you guys like the best so please pick one out of these four, or if you have any other ideas, let me know!
