Still going strong...
Swift, a B&M hypercoaster added to the park in 1997,put Silver Grove on the map, officially joining the coaster wars. With a stellar lineup of Swift (the new Beemer, tallest and fastest in the park), Silverwood (a speedy wooden coaster built by the infamous Dinn Corp.), American Flyer (an out and back PTC woodie from the mid-1950's), Corkscrew (the aptly-named Arrow thrill machine), Slingshot! (a Vekoma boomerang) and Coldstone Creek Mine (an Arrow mine train and guest favorite), Silver Grove was gaining notoriety for being a solid park with high entertainment value.
Here's a pic of my favorite element from Swift:
And the layout to the Dinn woodie, Silverwood:
As we approach the 2000's, many possibilities are on the horizon for the blossoming park.
[From the builder's prospective, timeline aside, I'd like to add an Intamin mega-lite, perhaps a GCI, and an accelerator. After the release on NE, accolade or not, I plan to continue the timeline exclusively on here. I'll release an updated version of the park each "year" I complete in the timeline. Thoughts guys?]
