First of all let me get something straight. This is a JOURNAL not a diary. I know what the name of this blog is but when Mom made me this thing I SPECIFICALLY told her to pick a title without the word “diary” in it. Great. Now all I need is for some kid to catch me looking at this website and get the wrong idea.

Silverwood

On my last trip to Idaho, I went to Silverwood for the first time. It's the only theme park in Idaho. They have a waterpark there named Boulder Beach, which is what Boomerang Bay is to Great America. I didn't do Boulder Beach, since I already did Roaring Springs (a waterpark in Boise), but I thought Silverwood was decent.

The attractions I did include:

Train ride (my favorite there)
Carousel
Main Street Theatre (show movies like Laurel and Hardy and the Three Stooges)
Ferris Wheel
Antique Cars
Corkscrew (roller coaster that was originally at Knott's Berry Farm)
Tremors (wooden roller coaster)
Timber Terror (other wooden coaster)
Panic Plunge (drop tower)
Flying Elephants (hadn't been on that type of ride in years)

I found a plaque at the Corkscrew exit commissioned by the ACE (American Coaster Enthusiasts), honoring the ride for being the first modern coaster with upside-down elements.

I give Silverwood an 8/10.
