timberterror Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 It's that time of year to make my annual trip to Silverwood for opening day. It was just my daughter and I hanging out and having fun. The weather was great in the low 60's and sunny. Here are a few pics.....[/img] This is Flat Anna and she's headed to Silverwood. (school project for my niece) Deja Vu er Aftershock pieces visible from park entrance plaza. Last year they added a herd of Bison to the train ride, this year they have some calves. It looks as if Silverwood is getting a few more rides to add to Coaster Alley or not.... The first relocated ride to come to Silverwood My daughter with the infamous sign. Timber Terror Tremors doing it's thing. Already towering over Tremors - the entrance will be between Tremors and Timber Terror. OMG we have track, ok only 2 pieces, many left to go. I wonder if they'll make it by July.... Lots of work left to be done..... Aftershock from the side road. And finally this report brought to you by the letters R, M and C. Thanks for reading!

timberterror Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 I just realized it was backwards - sorry. A little retracking done in the off season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgeguy Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I never knew that CF was looking to sell MF, Raptor, and Corkscrew. And it looks like Silverwood bought them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyBo Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'm looking forward to going to this park in July. Although, by the looks of things it doesn't look like Aftershock will be open by the time I make my way up to the awesome part of the US this is called the Northwest. Can't wait to ride Tremors...definitely been wanting to ride that thing since it opened how ever many years ago it was. Were the crowds pretty light?

timberterror Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 The crowds were very light, that's the main reason I try to go on opening day every year. As a plus admission was only $19.99 a person for the first weekend. I am planning to go back in July, but we'll see on the progress of Aftershock. If it's not open yet I'll just go in September. - Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Thriller Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 My cousins only live a little over an hour from that park and I still haven't been able to get there! Now that Dejavu' is opening, the park even looks more cool. Which company owns Silverwood. I don't think Cedar Fair owns it, just because I don't see any trash cans in the pictures. I think that the same people who own Lake Compunce own it, just because the mascots are the same, but I really don't know for sure. BTW, cool TR. --James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I always love seeing pics of Silverwood, home to my favorite woodie duo. Thanks for the TR and Aftershock photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennyweird Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I'll bet you Silverwood's maintenance department is just going to *LOVE* Aftershock. Nice TR, Silverwood looks like a fun little park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm almost positive that Silverwood is privately owned, although I could be mistaken. Nice report, I wonder if they could move any slower with Aftershock.. hmm..

cinciDAWGS12 Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Nice TR! This looks like a fun park! It's also very close to where my sister goes to college....Hmm I'm thinking I have to go "visit" her sometime Anyways how are the coasters there? Are they smooth?

Bucket Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Are they going to repaint Aftershock (because the colors look a tad bit faded from the pictures) before opening? And if so, what will the new (if there is any) color scheme be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelTheFORCE Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Awesome! Can't wait to go in July and ride Aftershock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that the same people who own Lake Compunce own it, just because the mascots are the same, but I really don't know for sure. Silverwood is locally owned by a man named Gary Norton. His family helps in some of the operation of the park. They are not affiliated with any other park. I love the Roller Coaster Alley T-shirt with MF on it. I visit SW every year and have never seen that before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberterror Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 I love the Roller Coaster Alley T-shirt with MF on it. I visit SW every year and have never seen that before. I saw that sweatshirt from a distance and thought ho cool, but as I got closer I realized that wasn't coaster alley so no purchase for me. I think it's a new design for this year. They had a few other t-shirts and sweatshirts that were nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if so, what will the new (if there is any) color scheme be? At this point I would doubt they will paint it this year. They have a ton of work to do to get it open by July (wishful thinking at this point, but we'll see) and it actually doesn't look too bad in person. I am sure most of the people that visit Silverwood have never seen this coaster before so for all they know that's how the color has always been. - Barry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
