- Silverwood has a strong case as the most isolated amusement park in America. Located in Athol, Idaho, this is a beautiful park. While it's just 35 years old, it has the charm of the country's oldest parks. And it also features a strong ride lineup with 7 roller coasters, several thrilling flat rides, and some notable water rides, including the entire Boulder Beach water park. This video ranks the top 15 rides between both parks.
Aftershock is what got our family to visit this out-of-the way-park. Visiting here is like taking a trip back in time, not only because of certain rides, but also the super polite and wholesome people. Used to love Deja Vu at Magic Mountain. Aftershock has a 2-3 minute gap between when the riders exit and when they open the gates for the next group of riders. Not sure why they do that, but it provides enough time to walk around and get right back on the ride if the park isn't too busy. Also fun to ride corkscrew again for the first time in decades.
I prefer Stunt Pilot and the woodies to Aftershock, but I get that ride's allure.
Nice review, I look forward to getting to this park in the next two years or so
Have fun!
Deja Vu, the original(?) vertical lift boomerang from Magic Mountain, was a ride I cherished as a kid. I'll have to come to this park and re-ride one of my favorites.
It's a clone of that ride.
Spin cycle was nuts. I’ve always been a fan of North American Midway Entertainment’s “Fireball” but this was insane.
The hangtime is crazy.
I remember at the 2009 Michigan state fair that was in Detroit (the last year) they had North American Midway Entertainment providing the rides and they had both the Fireball and their Freakout models, and I much preferred the Fireball.
@@jordancaleb3419 It’s one of my favourites if not the favourite!
Leaving tomorrow. I have been back and forth whether to include Silverwood as it's so out of the way, but I decided I am going early on in the trip. See you all in September! I'll be logging in every night in hotel of course, when I am not too tired.
Thanks for all the reviews Mike, it's been a great help in planning.
It's an awesome park and worth the drive.
Ive actually heard Corkscrew is one of the smoothest Arrow coasters and I love the maintenance this park is giving it. Keeping it open for decades to come.
I went to Silverwood on Monday, and anyone who doesn't enjoy Corkscrew has ridden probably too many roller coasters. I rode it in the back row and that completely unassuming drop YANKED me downwards. It was honestly a fine ride, just keep your hands wedged between the restraints and your head/neck if you can. I did that and it saved my head any pain from banging.
@jordanwolfson8378 i hate when people say "rode to many roller coasters" about 4 years ago i rode it as my first roller coaster and sure yes it was fun but like cannobie coaster said its not smooth AT all and hurts
@@sixthesixter654 You can have whatever (in my eyes, wrong) opinions you wish, same as Canobie. I tend to vastly disagree with enthusiasts, though. Enthusiasts talk badly about rides because they get the very very lucky opportunity to attend theme parks regularly. Others of us don't get that same chance and appreciate ALL the coasters we get to ride. Be elitist if you wanna, nobody's stopping you, but nobody has to agree with Thoosies either. I enjoy Corkscrew and would marathon it if it had two trains.
I'm glad they've maintained it.
@@jordanwolfson8378 as someone who hasnt rode many roller coasters, i hate corkscrew bc it just hurts to ride. i genuinely get a headache from it. no elitism here lmao
I went to Silverwood it is so fun you are rite about the talent show so cool
I like the magic show there.
Nice. I rode that coaster in Cali and Idaho! So cool!!!

Aftershock? The exact one in California was relocated to New England.
spin cycle and the after shock are my favorite, but i haven't tried stunt pilot yet
Stunt Pilot is excellent.
Seeing how they relocated Corkscrew and Aftershock, there was another coaster that they could've relocated which would've been perfect for this park and that was the former Greezed Lightnin' from Kentucky Kingdom. The reason why is because it was only one of the last remaining rides of its kind left in America, and because this park doesn't have a launch coaster. That ride would've taken care of that.
I wish they got that ride. It would have fit in well.
They should add an RMC Museum to the park
That would be cool.
The new ride is called eagle hunt it is the biggest ride in the water park it is one or two water slides that are green
Looks like a great ride!
What colors are the trains and restraints on Tremors and Timber Terror?
Both have PTC trains with seatbelts and individual lap bars. Timber Terror has green trains. Tremors has blue trains.
My ranking of the thrill rides from worst to best is:
SpinCycle
Corkscrew
Timber Terror
Panic Plunge
Tremors
Aftershock
Stunt Pilot
The placement of Tremors might be different had I ridden it in the afternoon
Tremors does get a bit faster later in the day.
why do you prefer stunt pilot over aftershock
I like airtime based rides and it's more comfortable.
i’ve commented this on another video, but i’m extremely lucky to live about 15-30 minutes away, i’m not exactly sure
Nice!
Why did you say "This one thankfully still runs the original Vekoma trains"?
And "thankfully" what means?
Good
Also because they didn't alter the trains like with the other models, beside the intentions of the other two versions that's trains got changed and completely diminished the ride experience.
(From what I hear.)
How much are the tickets for 4 people I plan on going
It's roughly $60 per adult.
Ok thanks
5:10 wow thats me in the all black!!!
"Decent sized waterfall" as it hits me haha!
Yup!
Those are my kids on the log ride!! 😂
Nice!
When to go to mount Rushmore next year maybe ill add a few days on my trip and visit this patk and Colorado parks
Is this park near Rushmore?
@@CanobieCoaster probably like a 2 day drive
@@Kiiwii-birb nope
@@supme7558 how long?
You'd have loved the 30 minute hang time then😢
Yes, at Oaks?
0:50 I love some good magician show. :D
Im a fan of the masked magician, if anyone remembered that show in tv :D
The show here is awesome.

28.9K subscribers Hello, my name is Jamie Olberding, but everybody calls me Jamie. I'm from Iowa....... And...... Just to be clear........ I really really really am NOT a fan of riding big, SCARY, Roller Coasters and other terrifying rides! Have you ever been to either Adventure-land amusement park and also the Iowa State Fair (both are located in Altoona/Des Moines, Iowa), as well as Arnold's Park (which I have yet to visit)?
I've been to Arnolds Park and Adventureland, but not the fair.
@@CanobieCoaster Well..... You just so happened to miss out on the Iowa State Fair this year, but don't worry there's always next year. You'll just have to wait until August (The Iowa State Fair is open on August 10th to August 20th). Also make sure you visit the Fair on Days when it's not too hot, and always get up early and get there before 8:30 AM in the morning (so as to avoid huge crowds). Plus, you'll need to be careful as to where you park.
Squeezing this park into a coaster trip must be a frustrating affair
You definitely have to go out of your way for it, but it's worth it.
I’m at tremors right now and I’m about to see how good it is. I will make an edit after the ride.
Enjoy!
@@CanobieCoaster I forgot to edit it but it was really fun
putting aftershock at 5 is crazy. I dont think panic plunge is top 5
Aftershock is good, just some stuff I prefer.
I honestly have Aftershock as my personal least favorite in the park...purely because of how temperamental it is. It sucks when you go there and you're so excited to ride the thing, but it's 62 degrees instead of 65, for example, or the wind is 2mph over their threshold so the ride is closed.
It's a great and very rare coaster model, but maybe they're rare for a reason. I want a coaster I know I can ride many times.
That's fair. I have only visited on sunny summer days, so I haven't had an issue riding it.
Silverwood sucks, last time I was there staff abused me, yelled at me, threatened to have me arrested and said “you’re on private property, we can do whatever we want to you” in the context of physical violence
That's terrible. I have never had an encounter like that there.
Sounds like that’s not the whole story…
@@talkingweevil3172 i tried to scare one of the scarers, like walked up behind him and yelled, not super loudly, not in a mean way, just like a, maybe I’ll scare him kind of way. Mind you that there is nothing posted about not doing that, literally nothing anywhere on their website or on their property. Then I was chewed out by the lady that said the above things in my original post. She took my picture and said that if I do anything else at silverwood, they’ll kick me out. Then when me and my friends are leaving, she literally yells at me and says something super snarky (I don’t remember exactly what) then the above interaction happened.
@@Vitamin_jp Well that is unreasonable! but it sounds like it was the fault of one lady. I do think most people should be aware that it’s rude and not acceptable to scare the scarers but the consequence should not be threatening you, especially considering they don’t have signs posted abt it. I’m very sorry that happened.
i dont see how a few bitchy staff members makes the entire park suck
