Silverwood Theme Park

Silverwood Theme Park is the largest of its kind in the Northwest, a unique blend of history, entertainment and exciting rides.  Built in 1988 with a Victorian mining town theme, the family-owned park now covers 200 acres with more than 65 rides and attractions.   New for 2008, and dominating the skies at Silverwood is Aftershock - the 191 foot tall steel roller coaster traveling forward and backwards through a cobra loop at speeds up to 65 mph.   Other rides include Tremors, a 65-mph coaster that plunges underground four times and drops 103 feet, the 55-mph Timber Terror wooden coaster, the Corkscrew coaster, Thunder Canyon whitewater ride, and Tinywood, a miniature mining town for kids.  Silverwood also features dozens of traditional amusement rides. Shows include illusion and juggling acts, as well as an ice show featuring world-class professional skaters. 

The recently-expanded Boulder Beach Water Park includes their biggest water slide yet! Walk up a mountain trail, climb aboard a raft, and splash your way down a 650' slide before landing in a below-ground canyon! They've also added a second huge wave pool adjacent to Boulder Beach Bay, where you can enjoy two gigantic wave pools and can ride the wild surf or lay on the beach and watch all the action.  Splash your way to the gigantic 4-slide Rumble Falls where you can zip down "Pioneer Plunge", "Boca Loca Chute", "Sidewinder" or "H2 Uh-Oh".  The Polliwog Park Kiddies Area offer little ones plenty of slides, pools and splash areas as well as beach lounging for the parents.  Bigger kids and grown-ups will love floating down Elkhorn Creek.  It's a one fifth-mile-long loop featuring lazy turns, lounging pool and waterfalls.  Velocity Peak is a high-speed body slide complex that features 3 slides including a 62-foot vertical drop and speeds up to 50 mph.
