Review and Pictures of Scarywood 2021 at Silverwood Theme Park

Last week Matt made his way out to Scarywood for the opening night of their 2021 event! We have lots of pictures to get to in this one so we'll get right to it!

Scarywood Review:

Of the mazes, as always, Blood Bayou is the best. Imagine Willoughby's mixed with Voodoo from Knott's Haunt. It's a big long maze with a lot of talent and a lot of scares. 

Planet Zombie is my second favorite. It's a zombie maze where you're supposed to get to a safety checkpoint without getting bit. Good long maze with some really nicely done outdoor sections. It feels like what the Walking Dead attraction should have been like. Occasionally claustrophobic, and feeling like you really need to get through.

Pharaoh's Curse is cool - it definitely improved with its new location. Has one of the best horrific gags anywhere. The priests tear the heart out of a writhing screaming person in a Scarywood hoodie. 

Dr. Delirium's 3D Rockhouse is a fun, loud weird mashup of everything unlicensed. Bonus points for playing KMFDM music. 

Let's get to the pics!

Picture
A little something extra for Scarywood
Picture
Picture
Picture
Don't mess with anybody, or anything.
Picture
Picture
Picture
The entrance area to the park
Picture
This is the best maze of the event- good long, loaded with cool stuff, and monsters galore.
Picture
Tilt A Whirl in the Rain
Picture
Scary Dolls. My second favorite scare zone- they do a great job standing in the dark- there's not a lot of light around other than the dollhouse facade.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Best tagline and rename of a food location- Plagued Pizza
Picture
This is the Scarywood edition of the magic show
Picture
Planet Zombie
Picture
The ride WAS running for the event, until the rain came.
Picture
The clowns seemed to like the rain. Clown Town is the biggest, most populated scare zone. I love it
Picture
It was still running in the rain.
Picture
Normally wouldn't be able to take this photo- because I'm standing in the gravel beside the ride's queue. So, while it sucks to not be able to ride this beauty until next year, I can see it while walking to and from the 3D maze.
Picture
This is a fun maze, with entertaining videos setting up the whole thing while you wait out front. There was a lot of excellent talent in here last night, and it's a good long maze with inside and outside sections.
Picture
I started with the stuff to the left- what would normally be the dry park, but the rain came and kinda changed that.
Picture
This is another part of the pathway you can't avoid. They were doing a good job of ganging up on people, too.
Picture
It was VERY dark by Tremors
Picture
Chucky was waiting for people to head out of Clowntown and in to the dark area he was lurking in.
Picture
Picture
Fog and rain It made the whole event feel surreal
Picture
Picture
Zombies and Corkscrew
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Just hanging around
Picture
I made a friend!

Stunt Pilot Opening Weekend at Silverwood

Picture
We're going to have a lot more from Silverwood over the next few days including POV, Reverse POV and pictures from tomorrow (Saturday's) opening day. 

Update: 5/30/2021 - A bunch of amazing pictures from opening day are now below for you to feast your eyes on. This is one photogenic ride! Scroll to the bottom to see Media Day pics! ​

Opening Day Pictures

Picture
You gotta go under the highway to get to Silverwood. This is when any day at Silverwood REALLY begins.
Picture
Espresso and Pastry Bar. Good stuff, and they open earlier than anything else at the park. So if you get here early, to avoid a line at bag check, you can still pick up some caffeine and breakfast.
Picture
While waiting at the rope drop inside the park, Engine 7 pulled into the station.
Picture
To open Stunt Pilot, there was a flyover by a biplane.
Picture
This way to Stunt Pilot
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
The line wasn't outside of the building for too long- it just keeps moving.
Picture
While the ride does have 10 single seats per train, this helps when say, there's a group of 7, they can add 3 from the single rider line to have a full train.
Picture
Picture
Because of how long the train is, the sensations are quite different from front to back. Look how far down the drop row 1 is, while row 10 is still flat up top.
Picture
A stunt plane restored and hung upside down over the queue line. Brilliant bit of theming.
Picture
Picture
It's really cool to watch- and because of how the line goes right under most of the ride, you get to watch it a lot.
Picture
Picture
Very smooth, very fun ride. A lot of people got off and said "Let's get back in line" right away.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Entrance and Exit Through The Gift Shop
Picture
The opening day line in the afternoon
Picture
Panic Plunge. If you sit on this side, you get a great overview of Stunt Pilot for a moment.
Picture
It was a beautiful day for a ride opening
Picture
From over by the log flume.
Picture
Corkscrew Pizza. If you didn't get a picture of the corkscrew, did you even go to Silverwood?
Picture
From the side. The first drop is 87 degrees.
Picture
Picture
The guy in the back row looks like he might be rethinking his decision to ride.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Riders Seem To Really Enjoy This Ride. I did. Rode 4 times opening day, each time seemed better. It was really hauling late afternoon.
Picture
Hairtime!
Picture
Picture
Favorite photo of the day. This shot pretty much shows the gamut of rider reactions.
Picture
The Barn
Picture
You "Fly" through three air race rings as you ride
Picture
Not the shot I REALLY wanted. But you can see Tremors and Stunt Pilot trains in one frame here.
Picture
Tremors New Track
Picture
Old and New Side by Side. Tremors absolutely flies through the bowl area now.
Picture
Aftershock. Well, it didn't have such a good day.
Picture
Only shot I got of it in action today. It went down right before we were going to board. Didn't see it open the rest of the day. Oh well, we'll be back.
Picture
Another shot of the plane in the queue
Picture
Picture
Plane and Raven Turn
Picture
Picture
Another Train of Happy People
Picture
Picture
Someday I'll get a shot with Tremors and Stunt Pilot passing here.

Silverwood: Stunt Pilot Construction Update #2

Picture
Yesterday Matt found himself back in a familiar place, Silverwood, to get another look at Stunt Pilot. 

With some HUGE thanks to Carter and Stephanie from Silverwood, this time we didn't just get pics from outside the park, but were let behind the fence for a great tour of what is going to be an amazing ride! Let's head in!

Picture
On the road again. 24 hours ago this was all snow. Springtime in Idaho!
Picture
Hello again Silverwood!
Picture
Last week we were out here
Picture
This week we're in here!!
Picture
This thing is beautiful
Picture
Any park that says they don't have room for a coaster needs to see this ride.
Picture
The queue is all under the ride area
Picture
Stunt Pilot will have the moving walkway system, not air gates
Picture
Picture
Picture
Stunt Pilot is right on top of the walkway
Picture
We walked up on the lift of log flume to get some pics
Picture
Hey Fred!
Picture
Picture
For all you coaster station nerds. You know who you are.
Picture
Hard at work on Stunt Pilot!
Picture
Picture
We got to go to the paint shop to see the Pitts Special plane that will be part of the theming
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
A whole bunch of Tremors track is missing at the moment
Picture
Picture
They're doing so much work on tremors
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Timber Terror got a bunch of new wood on the helix - hard to get a pic, but you can see shiny new wood
Picture
Got to see Corkscrew's first test run of the season
Picture
Hi Knott's!!
To wrap up: 
  • Don't expect Stunt Pilot to open until closer to the end of May- they're still waiting on a control panel to arrive (that was delayed due to COVID) - then they'll have more of a solid timetable.
  • There is going to be a good amount of theming. Some hasn't been announced, some might not be until next year
  • There will be a tribute to Bob Heale, who was a big part of the air show days at Silverwood. The park is working with his grandson and there will be one of his planes, along with the Pitts Special (pics above).
​
And again, a HUGE thanks to Jordan and Stephanie for reaching out after our update last week and offering us this amazing tour. We are so thankful for stuff like this. We can't wait to see the rest of the rides construction and of course it's opening this Summer.
