He forgot to mention that your staff threatened me and abused their power last year during scary wood and when reported to management, nothing was done. It’s a poorly run park who enjoys when it’s staff tells people “it’s private property so we can do whatever we want to you” in the context of physical violence, so I’d think twice about going here
Especially when you consider that when this was reported, they took 0 action and just removed my negative reviews rather than actually dealing with them
Silverwood is my homepark and I have always loved it since I was a kid. I'm so proud of our little gem in the PNW and for being home to RMCs origins! This Is How We Roll was an amazing documentary, my only regret was that I rented it instead of buying it!
Amen to that, this may sound crazy but just taking a walk through the park is a personal joy when I needed it the most which is why I consider it my second home. Silverwood is like a pot of the most precious gold and gems you could ever find. Silverwood is a place to love 😊
Places like this (family owned, full of charm) are the reason I became infatuated with amusement parks. I loved the glimpses into Silverwood we got in your documentary, and this video is a nice follow up. It sounds like my kind of place. 💛
This park is amazing, the water park is soo underrated, and tremors is easily the best night ride I’ve ever had(let it be known it’s one of the few I’ve ever had) the operations are actually quite slow, but it’s still awesome, and stunt pilot is sooo underrated, easily in my top 10, in the back row it’s absolutely insane, definitely one of my favorite parks, and I’ve been to some great parks
I think they are so restrictive with Aftershocks temperature to run is they absolutely don't want it to valley in the cobra roll. It is a weakness for boomerangs. A rare one, but a very existing one. One that would absolutely make national news as they'd undergo the annoying process of evacuating a giant boomerang. So they likely have a very, very large margin of error incorporated into its running restrictions.
This is my genuine childhood! I grew up in Central Washington and we made it a tradition to come here at least once a year! So many good memories at this park!
As you touch on a bit, the worst part about Silverwood is the single train on most of their coasters. Aside from Stunt Pilot, the lines move brutally slow. It keeps me from wanting to go back even though it's the only decent coaster collection in the NW.
Im in Seattle and visit Silverwood 2x a year. Its a beautiful park, but the two issues i have are the park hours and the incredibly slow ops. Opening at 11am is silly, and single trains on all the coasters make the lines long on even slow days.
This park is the definition of why parks that don't go corporate always seem better taken care of and loved. If you go to six flags park #16 in the country, you don't get that community touch this park has. Hard to describe but it's kind of my "Home park" since I live in a state with no parks.
Nice job on this video. I grew up going there, but this video gets me more hyped than I ever was actually being there as a kid. Makes me excited to bring my kids there.
I grew up in the PNW. It is a real shame how isolated this place is and how far it is from any other park. Wild Waves is a joke. PNE has Coaster and then it's basically a carnival. Oaks is fine for what it is but it's tiny. And Enchanted Forest is really great if you have the right expectations. But you have to go down to Lagoon which is super far away or the Bay Area if you want an all day park. The PNW really needs more love from the theme park industry. Silverwood is the only true top tier park and it's in the middle of nowhere.
Yes yes I live in PNW as well and I'm gonna to sliverwood this summer it sucks how far a drive away it is, luckily it's gonna be worth it. I remember going to enchanted forest that was so fun I don't remember everything but you know and because of COVID we haven't had the carnival for almost 3 years I hope the carnival and Fair happen this year that would be a great addition to sliverwood.
Wild waves is at least a good water park but yea, we have nothing up here. Silverwood has the added problem of being in freaking Idaho. Idaho is such a shitty state.
Great review. Just returned from a three day trip to Silverwood with my wife and two sons. We all had a wonderful time and look forward to returning again. Main thing I can say is, what a value this place is!!! Just as good, and in many cases better than places that are more than twice the price not only to get in, but for food and drinks as well.
I love Silverwood and can’t wait to ride timber terror now that they’ve started upgrading the track with RMC hybrid track. Also they could use more family style flat rides or even thrill flat rides to take pressure off the rest of the current attractions they have now. Love to see another slide tower open up at boulder beach as well. Also they need to add a second train to both wooden coasters and have an automated breaking system put in on them as well to have two trains running
Omg! I went to silverwood last summer in 2022 and me and my family had a blast! I had never been on a real big roller-coaster before, and my dad is a big coaster fan! He went on Timber Terror with me, and my mom took a video. In the video, the coaster slowly got to the top and then dropped. Everyone was yelling for a second, and then you hear the loudest high-pitched scream. If you didn't guess already, that was me! Overall, I had a great time, and I went on Timber Terror, Corkscrew, Stunt Pilot, and Tremmors. Along with other rides!
I'm a HUGE fan of Silverwood, and have been coming off and on for years. Without taking anything away from the coasters, my favorite attractions are the train and the magic show. I totally agree with a previous comment regarding the slow operations. Ride loading times are 2+ times as long as you'd find at a Six Flags, and the secret ingredient at the quick service restaurant is patience. I would love to see more investment in flat rides, and this park is desperately in need of a solid dark ride. But the theming and landscaping is top class (special shout out to the floral design crew) and I've never left disappointed. The Inland NW of the US is a wonderful gem that more folks need to see, and Silverwood is a great reason to see it.
I love that this is how we roll documentary This is the kind of stuff I like to watch I wish we had more modern updated ones and update it once That's full end up like the one that you do
The ice cream sizes remind me of local stands in Massachusetts. The rule is that the further you get from the center of Boston, the bigger the ice-cream sizes actually are, until you have to order a "baby size" or "half baby" cone to get an amount of ice cream that won't be overwhelming.
I own a house in Coeur d Alene and I go there every summer. But, summer is not complete without a trip to silverwood! It is one of my favorite parks and I love their rides. The huckleberry ice cream is so good too!
Me and my family always go each year. We live in Calgary but we love it there and haven’t been there since 2019 can’t wait to this year it’s so fun and beautiful!🎉
I've actually been! When I was 17 and coming out of my GP phase, my family went with my dad to a conference in Coeur d' Alene. Me and my mom and my sister found this place by complete accident and ended up spending 3 days there! I didn't know a lot about theme parks or coasters at that point, so I didn't know that I had uncovered a hidden gem, but I had more fun at that park than I have at any park to date. Me and my sister spent almost an entire day running between Timber Terror and Tremors (Stunt Pilot didn't exist yet and it was too cold to run Aftershock) and marathoning them both. It was super cold the entire trip and actually started sleeting one of the days we were there. I'll never forget my back-row sleet ride on Timber Terror. Their other attractions are awesome too, and that huckleberry ice cream is one of the best things I've ever eaten. I just cannot say enough good things about this park. It's insanely far away from where I live, but I oh so desperately want to go back.
I think I get a season pass every year and my girlfriend actually lives about 5 minutes from the place and works there. Been going since I was like 3 and this being my home park. So glad to see Stunt Pilot finally put in the park. I live about 10 minutes from RMC so I might go get a job as a contractor or welder there. Wish me luck
Silverwood is by far my favorite theme park, including Disneyland. The private ownership takes care of it so well, everything is high quality and so obviously deeply cared for
You're close to Cedar Point and Great America, I'd say you've got it pretty us. Us coaster needs in the Northwest only have silverwood, and it's like 7 hours away from all the major populations centers where most of us live
Stunt Pilot is great and I feel like it is the golden standard of a "Thrill Ride" Quick, fun, not too crazy, and the places they set up the cameras make for some great photos. And I feel like Aftershock is low key a world class ride. Walking up it doesn't look like much, but sit in the rear slot and you'll be surprised at how high up you are and the speeds you reach. And good luck ever finding an open seat on that train on a busy day. It's a reprieve for adults with amped up children, so they jump on the second they can to chill out and take a break.
I live near Silverwood, and it gets a lot of love from the locals, as well. Maybe that's why the prices within the park stay reasonable? Silverwood passes are a common gift around here. My dad helped weld some of the coasters, and the hand rails in Boulder Beach. I love that there's a lot to do for people who aren't a fan of big coasters (my hubby). The landscaping, food, games, and shows make up for it and can keep adults entertained, too. My favorite time to go is in the spring when the season first starts because there's less people, and it's not too hot; however, the weather can definitely be touchy, and being able to ride Aftershock is a treat.
I've always known about this park but never had any burning desire to visit... until I saw This Is How We Roll! It really made me want to visit, and this video only added to that haha. I have no idea when I'll find myself in that area of the country, but I definitely wanna make it happen one day.
I've lived in Spokane my entire life, and I adore rollercoasters. I want to hopefully become a mechanical engineer and design them for a career. That said...even me in all my rollercoaster nut self, I've been to Silverwood one time in a super long time frame. I last visited BEFORE Aftershock got installed in 2008. When my dad took me for my tenth birthday in September 2007, admission was 35 bucks. It was affordable. After Aftershock and Boulder Beach was around more than one season, they raised the price so much. It became 60$ when I turned 11, and dad and I couldn't afford to go that time. The difference between 35$ a ticket and 60$ a ticket is, duh, 50$ for two people. That's a lot of money to do spend on a birthday activity for two people. So, I haven't been since then because I've felt like the price is too steep, even after they've now added Stunt Pilot. I don't know...60$ for four legitimate coasters (I don't count Corkscrew because even though it was my first ride ever going upside down, it's just not the same), it's always felt overpriced. Like you're paying for the scenery in the area and not much more. That said, I DO want to return to Silverwood now, even if I think the price is a rip-off. It'll be worth the price of admission ONE TIME to experience my first raptor. I'm just kind of disappointed at how stagnant the park overall has been since Aftershock was added. I mean, we got Stunt Pilot and that's sick, but other than that all they added was a flat ride or two. Nothing of note, and not enough expansion to warrant that ticket price. It was was too high then, and it's still too high now. I mean, we're literally getting teased both by Silverwood and RMC at this point. Timber Terror and Tremors are both getting RMC's 208 RetraK this offseason, which will technically turn them into hybrids... BUT THERE WILL BE NO HYBRID ELEMENTS ADDED TO THEM. Which I just don't get. Why hire RMC, 5 miles down the road, to refurbish a wooden coaster and not even have them "RMC-ify" it? Seems like just a massive disappointment. I'd love Timber Terror and Tremors to get the true RMC treatment. It feels like the cruelest joke in the world for the park located 5 MILES FROM RMC HQ to ONLY get a Raptor and some RetraK installed. I mean...if Funspot Atlanta and Kolmarden can afford the massive RMC hybrids, why can't Silverwood? There's empty space they could buy from the county, across the road from Timber Terror/Aftershock.
As someone who never been I find this viewpoint refreshing. As everyone praises the park, the negative tone on how overpriced it is can help set my expectations right. I know when Thunderbird was added to Holiday World many people feared a price increase for tickets, but fortunately things remained constant for us. I hope that doesn’t change in the future for my home park. ($50 on summer days, $35 in the off season.)
I think the reason the park is stagnant and expensive is due to its complete lack of competition. Also, random side note but you and I are practically the same age, except I was born in February. I went the computer science route though, almost picked ME.
I found Silverwood to be very reasonable, particularly the food prices. The gate price for Wild Waves is also $59.99 and there is no comparison, Silverwood obviously blows it away. Disney is currently hovering around $130 a day for one park only, so for what you get, $60 isn't bad IMHO!
I couldn’t agree more with this video! I live in Portland, so this is kinda my home park, but I travel to other parks often. Let me tell you! Silverwood has so much charm! The people who work there are always so nice! Please, don’t forget a Huckleberry funnel cake while you’re there! The value for the potions are unlike any other park I’ve been too! The closest park I could compare Silverwood, would have to be Knott’s, in my opinion.
Somehow, despite growing up in Seattle and being 49 yo, I just went to Silverwood for the first time this year on the way to Glacier NP. This park is amazing, rivaling Knott's Berry Farm and Busch Gardens. And I'm not just saying that because my home park is Premier Parks' Wild Waves lol! I can seriously see us getting season passes here in the future. Tremors may be my favorite wooden coaster and Aftershock is great and smoother than expected given its age. Phantasm was one of the best theme park shows I've ever seen. Overall, just a stellar experience!
Just came back from Silverwood with my wife and two kids 10 and 6. Absolutely love this place. Everything said was true about the park but they didn’t capture how friendly everyone was. And I mean everyone! Even the parking lot attendants who take your payment and do the same thing a thousand times a day were friendly and cheerful and felt sincere when they wished you a fun time. Best feature? Free water from any concession stand. It gets hot in the summer and they do an amazing job putting shade giving trees and covering lines with a burlap canopy and lots of misters to keep you cool. But the water is amazing. You just take your water bottle up to any of the food places and don’t have to wait in line and they’ll happily fill you up. They don’t nickel and dime you and it just feels wonderful. So the point is if you haven’t been then don’t go. Go to Disney or Universal Studios in Orlando. Leave this place alone because I don’t want longer lines!
I went there in may for the Coeur D'alene Battle of the Bands and it is fantastic. Even though it's my main home park I've only ever been there 3 times. I really love this place.
This place is the best place on earth I went there as a kid and now I love going there as an adult it is super fun and I give it a five star rating it’s so mach fun but you forgot the Carnival
I love Silverwood. I feel very lucky to have this as my home park & in my backyard. It definitely is an RMC park/ testing ground. I’m just waiting for the day they finally decide to RMC timber terror.
I love Silverwood, it's awesome. It's a great place to hang out at, it's almost like your second home. Lindy's and high Moon saloon is a great place to eat at.
I’m from Kalispell Montana and Silverwood is a 3-4 hour drive. The last time I was there was 2008 and they had just got after shock. I happened to move to Virginia in 2008 and Kings Dominion became my home park until today. When Silverwood opened Timber Terror, it was originally named Grizzly, because northern Idaho and North west Montana actually have Grizzly bears. Kings Dominion sued Silverwood for copyright infringement because they had a woodie called Grizzly. I have been on both, and they are both great, but Timber Terror is the most superior ride.
One lucky thing about living in northern idaho is every school year they pick a few schools and the students who go there can get a free silver wood ticket if they read for ten hours, which is a really short amount of time and you can get it done fast, but they give you a whole month! I was lucky enough to get my school picked every year. But now im goin into 7th grade and if my school is picked again im too old for a free ticket now. 😢
I've been to Silverwood 7 times in my life. It's a blast every time. It's always Around July 4th when I go. I last went in 2021 with my brand new Camaro SS I bought then and the first time I went on Stunt Pilot which was brand new that year was the best roller coaster I've ever been on. That straight vertical drop is a Adrenaline rush which I love that feeling. Water park is always a blast. Panic Plunge is probably the 2nd scariest ride right behind aftershock. Corkscrew is a perfect warmup before going on all the other intense rides. You cannot go wrong going to Silverwood. I need to go there around the Halloween event. I'd love to ride Timber Terror Backwards
My former home park is a great family park. If you're an enthusiast, grab the creds and enjoy the rest of what the park has to offer. I've spoken to families that love their yearly trip to stay at the huge campground too. They change the park very little though year-by-year, and for locals they can get a bit stale. Stunt Pilot to Silverwood is like Copperhead Strike to Carowinds in comparison. I can't say I miss my former homepark, but I'm just beginning to visit all the parks out east!
I've been to Silverwood twice. I highly recommend this park. Great Top 4 in Stunt Pilot, Tremors, Aftershock, and Timber Terror (And I rode it backwards as well). It's tough to find a better top 4 at a true small indy park. Spin Cycle is my favorite swinging frisbee ride. Everything about this park is just top notch. Only draw back is the lines.
My home park! :D I love SIlverwood, in fact, one of my earliest childhood memories was of me hosing down my brother on the bumper boats with the little coin activated spray guns. You nailed all the big points like the kinda omnious backside of the park that will most likely be the location of their next expansion, the food is excellent for a theme park, and Scarywood is a very well done Halloween event. I would add that the Tremors gift shop is not only special because of its creator but also because Tremors dives underneath it, and there are windows on both sides so you can watch it, which is great. Also if you do go during Scarywood, PLEASE do yourself a favor and not get psyched out by their highest tier horror haunt, Blood Bayou. I almost didn't do it because the line was long and I thought it would be too gory or just not my thing, but it is BY FAR the best haunt, the attention to detail is unreal, and my takeaway from it was just, "Wow that was so pretty." Amazing experience. The last thing I'll say is Silverwood's major flaw is how awful it is to get out of the park if it's really busy. While in the park, the main path that goes from Roller Coaster Alley to the entrance is always jam packed even on not so busy days, but the exiting the parking lot is something else. I've spent 2 hours sitting in my car waiting to just get out of my parking spot. It's not always that bad, but it can be, so just a heads up lol!
Just bought our tickets a few minutes ago. Going there on May 7th. Btw, huckleberries are all the rage in Idaho, that's why there's so many huckleberry themed merch.
There are parks I know I will most likely never visit, largely due to their remoteness. But I don't think Silverwood is one of them, and that's largely thanks to your coverage of the park. That and I get some of the same vibes as Holiday World from this place, and I love that park.
One of my favourite theme parks it feels like home, a little bias bc I’d go there when I was little but I’ve always enjoyed going there any time of year
i went to Silverwood 2 times and i had a blast my favorite ride was Aftershock, Stunt Pilot and Timber Terror, Stunt Pilot Because it tries to kill you Aftershock because it was just insane and Timber Terror because it has really good airtime i did not expect a Double-Up
i've been to SILVERWOOD 3 times , on scale of 1 - 4 stars , i give it 2 stars , it's an ok park , you can do the whole park in 1 day ! it's not worth a long drive , so if you live outside of idaho , once you've went there once , it's not worth a long drive UNLESS THEY GET SOME TYPE OF NEW SUPERSTAR ATTRACTION!! like i said ONLY 2 OUT OF 4 STARS
Silverwood like really nice theme park and the surrounding scenery looks great. The park could use some LED lights on their roller coasters like Corkscrew and Stunt Pilot. Maybe they could add a Sky Tower or a Double Looping roller coaster or a Grizzly Bear log ride to Silverwood Theme Park later on during the decade. I've never been to Idaho before, so this park is defiantly a place that I would like to visit sometime in the future and the food looks pretty good too. I'm surprised that Idaho only has one amusement park in the northern part of it. I think that Bosie could use a theme park around their area or in one the east towns to get more people to visit the state.
Thank you for the great review!!
I had a great time last year! Can't wait to get back in a couple weeks and get a ride on the improved Tim Burton Terror (its holloween name)!!
Thank you for being one of the best family owned theme parks in the world. Love you Silverwood!
Best theme park in the West
He forgot to mention that your staff threatened me and abused their power last year during scary wood and when reported to management, nothing was done.

My home park too!
Silverwood is easily one of the best parts about growing up in this part of the country👍🏻 probably the best theme park no one really knows about
Amen to that, this may sound crazy but just taking a walk through the park is a personal joy when I needed it the most which is why I consider it my second home. Silverwood is like a pot of the most precious gold and gems you could ever find. Silverwood is a place to love 😊

Get to Silverwood. Their woodies are world class, and the park is super cute.
This park is amazing, the water park is soo underrated, and tremors is easily the best night ride I’ve ever had(let it be known it’s one of the few I’ve ever had) the operations are actually quite slow, but it’s still awesome, and stunt pilot is sooo underrated, easily in my top 10, in the back row it’s absolutely insane, definitely one of my favorite parks, and I’ve been to some great parks
Yeah, my one ride was mid day, and aslo mid train, but as i look back, I see why it would be a good nightride.
The Water Park is the Best
Tremors is so good!
I think they are so restrictive with Aftershocks temperature to run is they absolutely don't want it to valley in the cobra roll. It is a weakness for boomerangs. A rare one, but a very existing one. One that would absolutely make national news as they'd undergo the annoying process of evacuating a giant boomerang.
So they likely have a very, very large margin of error incorporated into its running restrictions.
This is my genuine childhood! I grew up in Central Washington and we made it a tradition to come here at least once a year! So many good memories at this park!

Totally agree. Maybe one day they will add a second train to both Timber Terror and Tremors...
PNW needs a Six Flags or something.
About how slow? Been to six flags for reference. Thinking of taking my daughter and niece
@@brianhillard7861I’ve been saying this for years! Been trying to save for Magic mountain, cause that’s all we got!
You nailed it. This park is awesome. Scarywood is my favorite event of the year there, but any time of year it’s a great park. A definite gem
Im in Seattle and visit Silverwood 2x a year. Its a beautiful park, but the two issues i have are the park hours and the incredibly slow ops. Opening at 11am is silly, and single trains on all the coasters make the lines long on even slow days.
The reason for slow ops and late opening may be partially due to staffing issues
@@Mynameis177 I was that way precovid. Id gladly pay more for a ticket if it meant more staff
We co.r from Seattle too. We like Silverwood better then the them park in Seattle.
I would rather travel to Orlando or LA than go to Sliverwood.
This park is the definition of why parks that don't go corporate always seem better taken care of and loved. If you go to six flags park #16 in the country, you don't get that community touch this park has. Hard to describe but it's kind of my "Home park" since I live in a state with no parks.
Exactly my local theme park got sold to a corporation and went downhill after
There’s some corporate parks like busch gardens which are good and have great rides it’s not as ad crazy as six flasg
Nice job on this video. I grew up going there, but this video gets me more hyped than I ever was actually being there as a kid. Makes me excited to bring my kids there.
I grew up in the PNW. It is a real shame how isolated this place is and how far it is from any other park. Wild Waves is a joke. PNE has Coaster and then it's basically a carnival. Oaks is fine for what it is but it's tiny. And Enchanted Forest is really great if you have the right expectations. But you have to go down to Lagoon which is super far away or the Bay Area if you want an all day park. The PNW really needs more love from the theme park industry.

@@Jarekthegamingdragon yeah but lucky my mom liked it so I'm gonna be going again no matter what
I also live in the PNW, and I wish there were more theme parks around here :(

This is such good timing! I was the one in ur live stream who donated saying that i was going june 3rd and 4th
Ooh Silverwood. For a park like this, it actually seems pretty good.
It’s v e ry good, I like it a bit more than Knott’s
I'm a HUGE fan of Silverwood, and have been coming off and on for years. Without taking anything away from the coasters, my favorite attractions are the train and the magic show.

Oh the This is How We Roll memories are coming back.
My family goes there with my cousins every year, and every year, we still LOVE IT! Absolute thrill every time we go.
I love that this is how we roll documentary This is the kind of stuff I like to watch I wish we had more modern updated ones and update it once That's full end up like the one that you do
I love silverwood and this was a great review!
Thank you for reviewing my home park. I love this park and haven’t been in a while.
We live 4 hours from Silverwood and my family and me have been going to the park every year for over 6 years now and it has never got boring.
I grew up 5miles from there. I loved this video ❤
Best amusement park I've been to
The ice cream sizes remind me of local stands in Massachusetts. The rule is that the further you get from the center of Boston, the bigger the ice-cream sizes actually are, until you have to order a "baby size" or "half baby" cone to get an amount of ice cream that won't be overwhelming.
I’m going in a couple days with my besties. CANT WAIT!
I own a house in Coeur d Alene and I go there every summer. But, summer is not complete without a trip to silverwood! It is one of my favorite parks and I love their rides. The huckleberry ice cream is so good too!
Me and my family always go each year. We live in Calgary but we love it there and haven’t been there since 2019 can’t wait to this year it’s so fun and beautiful!🎉
i’m extremely lucky to live maybe 20-30 minutes from this ride. it’s great, and very beautiful.
Haven't been there...but Huckleberry Milkshakes and ice cream? SOLD!
I've actually been! When I was 17 and coming out of my GP phase, my family went with my dad to a conference in Coeur d' Alene. Me and my mom and my sister found this place by complete accident and ended up spending 3 days there! I didn't know a lot about theme parks or coasters at that point, so I didn't know that I had uncovered a hidden gem, but I had more fun at that park than I have at any park to date. Me and my sister spent almost an entire day running between Timber Terror and Tremors (Stunt Pilot didn't exist yet and it was too cold to run Aftershock) and marathoning them both. It was super cold the entire trip and actually started sleeting one of the days we were there. I'll never forget my back-row sleet ride on Timber Terror. Their other attractions are awesome too, and that huckleberry ice cream is one of the best things I've ever eaten. I just cannot say enough good things about this park. It's insanely far away from where I live, but I oh so desperately want to go back.
I think I get a season pass every year and my girlfriend actually lives about 5 minutes from the place and works there. Been going since I was like 3 and this being my home park. So glad to see Stunt Pilot finally put in the park. I live about 10 minutes from RMC so I might go get a job as a contractor or welder there. Wish me luck
Silverwood is amazing. i love it more than wildwaves and i grew up with that park. definitly going to silverwood again.
Silverwood is by far my favorite theme park, including Disneyland. The private ownership takes care of it so well, everything is high quality and so obviously deeply cared for
This is definitely on my list of parks I’ve gotta get to.
I have lived in Idaho for years and I have never heard of silver wood and now I will definitely go because of this
Never? Wow
Cool, the only park next to me is Michigans Adventure. I really need to go to some good parks lol
Shivering Timbers is worth the drive though
You gotta a big ass wooden coaster that look like a b&m hyper tho 🤷
@@williscockfit1994 and I've never ridden it
@@connelevish3797 😭
You're close to Cedar Point and Great America, I'd say you've got it pretty us. Us coaster needs in the Northwest only have silverwood, and it's like 7 hours away from all the major populations centers where most of us live
Silver wood is my home park I really enjoy this review
Stunt Pilot is great and I feel like it is the golden standard of a "Thrill Ride" Quick, fun, not too crazy, and the places they set up the cameras make for some great photos. And I feel like Aftershock is low key a world class ride. Walking up it doesn't look like much, but sit in the rear slot and you'll be surprised at how high up you are and the speeds you reach. And good luck ever finding an open seat on that train on a busy day. It's a reprieve for adults with amped up children, so they jump on the second they can to chill out and take a break.
My parents took my brothers and i here so long ago. Now im waiting for my own kids to get big enough to take them. One of my state's great hidden gems
Great video!!! I’d love to visit this park!!!
Can confirm, the slides are a blast.
Best theme park ever!!!
I live near Silverwood, and it gets a lot of love from the locals, as well. Maybe that's why the prices within the park stay reasonable? Silverwood passes are a common gift around here. My dad helped weld some of the coasters, and the hand rails in Boulder Beach. I love that there's a lot to do for people who aren't a fan of big coasters (my hubby). The landscaping, food, games, and shows make up for it and can keep adults entertained, too. My favorite time to go is in the spring when the season first starts because there's less people, and it's not too hot; however, the weather can definitely be touchy, and being able to ride Aftershock is a treat.
I've always known about this park but never had any burning desire to visit... until I saw This Is How We Roll! It really made me want to visit, and this video only added to that haha. I have no idea when I'll find myself in that area of the country, but I definitely wanna make it happen one day.
Silverwood is a great theme park with awesome rides and attractions! I hope you can do a vlog on this in the future!
We’ve got several vlogs from Silverwood already up on the channel, but I don’t think there will be a new one for quite some time
I've lived in Spokane my entire life, and I adore rollercoasters. I want to hopefully become a mechanical engineer and design them for a career.
That said...even me in all my rollercoaster nut self, I've been to Silverwood one time in a super long time frame. I last visited BEFORE Aftershock got installed in 2008. When my dad took me for my tenth birthday in September 2007, admission was 35 bucks. It was affordable.
After Aftershock and Boulder Beach was around more than one season, they raised the price so much. It became 60$ when I turned 11, and dad and I couldn't afford to go that time. The difference between 35$ a ticket and 60$ a ticket is, duh, 50$ for two people. That's a lot of money to do spend on a birthday activity for two people.
So, I haven't been since then because I've felt like the price is too steep, even after they've now added Stunt Pilot. I don't know...60$ for four legitimate coasters (I don't count Corkscrew because even though it was my first ride ever going upside down, it's just not the same), it's always felt overpriced. Like you're paying for the scenery in the area and not much more.
That said, I DO want to return to Silverwood now, even if I think the price is a rip-off. It'll be worth the price of admission ONE TIME to experience my first raptor. I'm just kind of disappointed at how stagnant the park overall has been since Aftershock was added. I mean, we got Stunt Pilot and that's sick, but other than that all they added was a flat ride or two. Nothing of note, and not enough expansion to warrant that ticket price. It was was too high then, and it's still too high now.
I mean, we're literally getting teased both by Silverwood and RMC at this point. Timber Terror and Tremors are both getting RMC's 208 RetraK this offseason, which will technically turn them into hybrids...
BUT THERE WILL BE NO HYBRID ELEMENTS ADDED TO THEM. Which I just don't get. Why hire RMC, 5 miles down the road, to refurbish a wooden coaster and not even have them "RMC-ify" it? Seems like just a massive disappointment. I'd love Timber Terror and Tremors to get the true RMC treatment.
It feels like the cruelest joke in the world for the park located 5 MILES FROM RMC HQ to ONLY get a Raptor and some RetraK installed. I mean...if Funspot Atlanta and Kolmarden can afford the massive RMC hybrids, why can't Silverwood? There's empty space they could buy from the county, across the road from Timber Terror/Aftershock.
As someone who never been I find this viewpoint refreshing. As everyone praises the park, the negative tone on how overpriced it is can help set my expectations right.
I know when Thunderbird was added to Holiday World many people feared a price increase for tickets, but fortunately things remained constant for us.
I hope that doesn’t change in the future for my home park. ($50 on summer days, $35 in the off season.)
I think the reason the park is stagnant and expensive is due to its complete lack of competition. Also, random side note but you and I are practically the same age, except I was born in February. I went the computer science route though, almost picked ME.
I found Silverwood to be very reasonable, particularly the food prices. The gate price for Wild Waves is also $59.99 and there is no comparison, Silverwood obviously blows it away. Disney is currently hovering around $130 a day for one park only, so for what you get, $60 isn't bad IMHO!
I couldn’t agree more with this video! I live in Portland, so this is kinda my home park, but I travel to other parks often. Let me tell you! Silverwood has so much charm! The people who work there are always so nice! Please, don’t forget a Huckleberry funnel cake while you’re there! The value for the potions are unlike any other park I’ve been too! The closest park I could compare Silverwood, would have to be Knott’s, in my opinion.
Awesome documentary. We lived there and had season passes! Loved it so much. You did forget to mention the Frozen Lemonade😂
Visited this park from up north in Canada. It's a lot bigger than everything else we have up here in Western Canada.
From BC, to Idaho! Super fun place, my first ever coasters, and I went only 3 days ago for the first time! Yesterday was my last. I loved it hetr
ive grown up going to this park so many good memories
Somehow, despite growing up in Seattle and being 49 yo, I just went to Silverwood for the first time this year on the way to Glacier NP. This park is amazing, rivaling Knott's Berry Farm and Busch Gardens. And I'm not just saying that because my home park is Premier Parks' Wild Waves lol! I can seriously see us getting season passes here in the future. Tremors may be my favorite wooden coaster and Aftershock is great and smoother than expected given its age. Phantasm was one of the best theme park shows I've ever seen. Overall, just a stellar experience!
Had season passes last year. First RMC I have ever been on. In love with RMC now...
Just came back from Silverwood with my wife and two kids 10 and 6. Absolutely love this place. Everything said was true about the park but they didn’t capture how friendly everyone was. And I mean everyone! Even the parking lot attendants who take your payment and do the same thing a thousand times a day were friendly and cheerful and felt sincere when they wished you a fun time. Best feature? Free water from any concession stand. It gets hot in the summer and they do an amazing job putting shade giving trees and covering lines with a burlap canopy and lots of misters to keep you cool. But the water is amazing. You just take your water bottle up to any of the food places and don’t have to wait in line and they’ll happily fill you up. They don’t nickel and dime you and it just feels wonderful. So the point is if you haven’t been then don’t go. Go to Disney or Universal Studios in Orlando. Leave this place alone because I don’t want longer lines!
Silver wood is an awesome place really enjoyed it. Stunt pilot was me favorite coaster at the park
I went there in may for the Coeur D'alene Battle of the Bands and it is fantastic. Even though it's my main home park I've only ever been there 3 times. I really love this place.
THANK YOU for pronouncing Spokane correctly!
Love silverwood. I’ve only been there once though. You’re right it is a gem.
This place is the best place on earth I went there as a kid and now I love going there as an adult it is super fun and I give it a five star rating it’s so mach fun but you forgot the Carnival
I love Silverwood. I feel very lucky to have this as my home park & in my backyard. It definitely is an RMC park/ testing ground. I’m just waiting for the day they finally decide to RMC timber terror.
I love Silverwood, it's awesome. It's a great place to hang out at, it's almost like your second home. Lindy's and high Moon saloon is a great place to eat at.
I’m from Kalispell Montana and Silverwood is a 3-4 hour drive. The last time I was there was 2008 and they had just got after shock. I happened to move to Virginia in 2008 and Kings Dominion became my home park until today. When Silverwood opened Timber Terror, it was originally named Grizzly, because northern Idaho and North west Montana actually have Grizzly bears. Kings Dominion sued Silverwood for copyright infringement because they had a woodie called Grizzly. I have been on both, and they are both great, but Timber Terror is the most superior ride.
One lucky thing about living in northern idaho is every school year they pick a few schools and the students who go there can get a free silver wood ticket if they read for ten hours, which is a really short amount of time and you can get it done fast, but they give you a whole month! I was lucky enough to get my school picked every year. But now im goin into 7th grade and if my school is picked again im too old for a free ticket now. 😢
I've been to Silverwood 7 times in my life. It's a blast every time. It's always Around July 4th when I go. I last went in 2021 with my brand new Camaro SS I bought then and the first time I went on Stunt Pilot which was brand new that year was the best roller coaster I've ever been on. That straight vertical drop is a Adrenaline rush which I love that feeling. Water park is always a blast. Panic Plunge is probably the 2nd scariest ride right behind aftershock. Corkscrew is a perfect warmup before going on all the other intense rides. You cannot go wrong going to Silverwood. I need to go there around the Halloween event. I'd love to ride Timber Terror Backwards
I’m going for the first time this May. Taking a group of HS students. Hoping to get on (and fit on) their big coasters
I live less than a mile from Silverwood. All 6 of my children plus myself have worked there as well. It's a FUN place to work and play.
We like Silverwood we come from Seattle to Silverwood once in the summer for the past 3 years. We like it better then our local theme park.
Ive been to silverwood, and it is soooooo fun!!!
I still can't believe this place was an airshow air field. That's just crazy what it turned into.
This is great I’ve been looking for a good park in the Pacific Northwest area for a long time so I’m gonna try this place out
Beautiful park!
My former home park is a great family park. If you're an enthusiast, grab the creds and enjoy the rest of what the park has to offer. I've spoken to families that love their yearly trip to stay at the huge campground too. They change the park very little though year-by-year, and for locals they can get a bit stale. Stunt Pilot to Silverwood is like Copperhead Strike to Carowinds in comparison. I can't say I miss my former homepark, but I'm just beginning to visit all the parks out east!
I've been to Silverwood twice. I highly recommend this park. Great Top 4 in Stunt Pilot, Tremors, Aftershock, and Timber Terror (And I rode it backwards as well). It's tough to find a better top 4 at a true small indy park. Spin Cycle is my favorite swinging frisbee ride. Everything about this park is just top notch. Only draw back is the lines.
Amazing Video ❤👏🏽
My home park! :D I love SIlverwood, in fact, one of my earliest childhood memories was of me hosing down my brother on the bumper boats with the little coin activated spray guns.
You nailed all the big points like the kinda omnious backside of the park that will most likely be the location of their next expansion, the food is excellent for a theme park, and Scarywood is a very well done Halloween event. I would add that the Tremors gift shop is not only special because of its creator but also because Tremors dives underneath it, and there are windows on both sides so you can watch it, which is great. Also if you do go during Scarywood, PLEASE do yourself a favor and not get psyched out by their highest tier horror haunt, Blood Bayou. I almost didn't do it because the line was long and I thought it would be too gory or just not my thing, but it is BY FAR the best haunt, the attention to detail is unreal, and my takeaway from it was just, "Wow that was so pretty." Amazing experience.
The last thing I'll say is Silverwood's major flaw is how awful it is to get out of the park if it's really busy. While in the park, the main path that goes from Roller Coaster Alley to the entrance is always jam packed even on not so busy days, but the exiting the parking lot is something else. I've spent 2 hours sitting in my car waiting to just get out of my parking spot. It's not always that bad, but it can be, so just a heads up lol!
Just bought our tickets a few minutes ago. Going there on May 7th. Btw, huckleberries are all the rage in Idaho, that's why there's so many huckleberry themed merch.
Wow, that was actually a really good video :)
I love silverwood it is great!
There are parks I know I will most likely never visit, largely due to their remoteness. But I don't think Silverwood is one of them, and that's largely thanks to your coverage of the park. That and I get some of the same vibes as Holiday World from this place, and I love that park.
Silverwood kinda does look like it was built in the middle of nowhere, a bit like Six Flags Magic Mountain and Lagoon Amusement Park.
I’m going to SilverWood in 7 days!
Living near Cedar point is great and all, but man i really wanna go out to parks likes these and Knotts and Magic mountain but they’re just so farr
We love doing 2 days at each park 😊
I've always wanted to go to silverwood but I live hours away from it so I've never got the chance to go there. Hopefully this year I'll get to go.
I went there for my birthday last July. In the summer everyone is at the water park, so get a tube and spot saved right when they open.
If they did decide to sell Silverwood for some reason, Herschend would definitely be the ones to sell it to.
We need a new top 25. We haven't had one in 2 years.
I haven't been to this place since before Aftershock was installed. The additions look great though, I definitely want to go back.
One of my favourite theme parks it feels like home, a little bias bc I’d go there when I was little but I’ve always enjoyed going there any time of year
I really want to make a pilgrimage up here one day. It’s 8 hours away from where I live , but I bet it would be worth it!
They have an RV area for campers/glampers too!
5:28 That's a really cool shot. Looks straight out of a horror movie
ive been to silverwood, going again after 9 years in a week!
I've been to silverwood twice and aftershock was open both times. I guess I'm just insanely lucky
i went to Silverwood 2 times and i had a blast my favorite ride was Aftershock, Stunt Pilot and Timber Terror, Stunt Pilot Because it tries to kill you Aftershock because it was just insane and Timber Terror because it has really good airtime i did not expect a Double-Up
LULZ @ the kid flipping the bird on panic plunge.
i've been to SILVERWOOD 3 times , on scale of 1 - 4 stars , i give it 2 stars , it's an ok park , you can do the whole park in 1 day ! it's not worth a long drive , so if you live outside of idaho , once you've went there once , it's not worth a long drive UNLESS THEY GET SOME TYPE OF NEW SUPERSTAR ATTRACTION!! like i said ONLY 2 OUT OF 4 STARS
Silverwood like really nice theme park and the surrounding scenery looks great. The park could use some LED lights on their roller coasters like Corkscrew and Stunt Pilot. Maybe they could add a Sky Tower or a Double Looping roller coaster or a Grizzly Bear log ride to Silverwood Theme Park later on during the decade. I've never been to Idaho before, so this park is defiantly a place that I would like to visit sometime in the future and the food looks pretty good too. I'm surprised that Idaho only has one amusement park in the northern part of it. I think that Bosie could use a theme park around their area or in one the east towns to get more people to visit the state.
